Catalystis pitched at a level that is both interesting and accessible to secondary school students. Ideally, our charges would all be so keen on background reading that they would subscribe to it themselves. Since some may need a bit of gentle persuasion, Using catalyst magazine - scientists and how they work may come in useful. 

It is well designed with a good range of activities relevant to the current GCSE curriculum, all of which can be freely downloaded from the publisher's website.
