From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that the acidity of a solution depends on the number of hydrogen ions per litre; the number of hydrogen ions per litre varies so much that a logarithmic scale is...

These We Are Aliens! related chemistry activities for the class room, have been devised by devised by Steve Althorpe and Judith Green. The resources include games, practical activities and worksheets. Supporting videos demonstrate the activities. The following curriculum areas are covered:

This resource was designed to help students, aged 11-13, build up their notes while working through Stage IA of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The plan was that students would record their work on blank sheets inserted to face each printed page. In this way the authors hoped that students would build up...

The plan was that students would record their work on blank sheets inserted to face each printed page. In this way the authors hoped that students would build up...

This resource was designed to help students, aged 14-16, build up their notes while working through Stage II of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The plan was that students would record their work on blank sheets inserted to face each printed page. In this way the authors hoped that students would build up...

This resource was designed to help students aged 15-16 to build up their notes while working through selected options in Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The plan was that students would record their work on blank sheets inserted to face each printed page. In this way the authors hoped that...

Stage III was the last part of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme which was intended to give students opportunities for applying skills and ideas met in Stages I and II to a number of selected fields of study. Teachers were expected to choose options to suit the abilities and interests of the students in their...

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book introduces thermodynamic concepts and applies them the a variety of types of chemicals cells.

There are seven parts to this book...

Paint has been developed and used for thousands of years, allowing artists an increasing range of colours and textures. This article describes the different techniques of developing paint.

'Chemistry at Work' is an enhancement and enrichment event which can be organised in school with the support of the Royal Society of Chemistry. A ‘Chemistry at Work’ event can be used to develop students’ understanding of how their scientific knowledge and understanding could support them in developing their...

Produced by the University of York Science Education Group and published by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this resource contains ten teaching units that explore the social, industrial and economic aspects of chemistry as well as encouraging...

This collection of resources, from the Royal Society of Chemistry, contains activities about solar power and atmospheric chemistry. They have been brought together to link in with ESA astronaut Tim Peake's flight to the International Space Station. The space station requires huge arrays of solar panels to power all...

A Catalyst article about chemical reactions that occur in a blast furnace during the steelmaking process. This short article features a diagram of a blast furnace showing the active ingredients used to produce iron from ore.

This Catalyst article explains how zeolites, sponge-like materials developed from naturally occurring minerals, are used as chemical sieves and as catalysts. Zeolites have incredibly widespread applications. They are used in consumer products such as washing powder and cat litter while many of the petrochemicals...
