Penny Bagshaw reviews this booklet of practical activities

This booklet provides a valuable addition to any secondary school science department’s resource library. It focuses on explaining the concept of a substance, the conditions under which substances can change state and how substances can take part in chemical reactions to make new substances. Reference is also made to previously published e-learning resources, freely available from the National STEM Centre eLibrary.

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".
