Ready to take the small-scale approach into your chemistry classroom? You might want to read this comprehensive guide first

Finding resources on microscale chemistry can take some hunting. The Royal Society of Chemistry sent a book by John Skinner to every UK school in 1998, and most of it is also on the RSC Education website. Since then, there have been microscale chemistry meetings, articles and webinars, and now a comprehensive publication with descriptions of microscale techniques. Understanding chemistry through microscale practical work is a guide for all educators, regardless of experience, providing background, set-up and procedure information on classroom experiments.
