This is one of a range of textbooks, workbooks and CD-ROMs aimed at teachers, technicians, and pupils that are designed to cover a new suite of specifications developed by the Nuffield Curriculum Centre and the University of York Science Education Group in partnership with OCR and Oxford University Press. The book is an attractive paperback in full colour, with plenty of colourful photographs and diagrams. The text density on the pages is not high, and almost every page is broken up with colour illustrations. There is also a useful glossary. 

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
