These resources have been produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC). Activities explore the work of people who develop and test blends of PVC for use in medical equipment.

Topics covered include how PVC is produced, why PVC is used for medical applications and how it is tested with...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about energetics at A level. Curriculum links include enthalpy changes, bond enthalpy, enthalpy cycles, practical, Hess's Law, calculations,...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* Sources and uses of energy.
* Conservation of energy.
* Alternative and renewable energy sources.
* Solar energy as a fundamental source of biomass...

The approach and the materials called Energy and Change were developed during the project 'Teaching about why things change'. The work was done by Jon Ogborn and Richard Boohan from 1992 to 1995 and a grant from the Nuffield Foundation supported the development work....

In Activities for the Classroom, the authors of the ‘Teaching about why things change’ project show how a new approach to the fundamental question 'why do things change?' can be adopted in teaching. They do this with a set of classroom activities which show how the...

In Background Stories for Teachers, the authors of the ‘Teaching about why things change’ project illustrate a new approach to the fundamental question 'why do things change?'. They do so with the help of stories about some scientific topics which show how the topics...

Introducing a New Approach outlines a fresh way of explaining changes that was developed by the ‘Teaching about why things change’ project. In this booklet, the authors address the fundamental question 'why do things change?', not simply by labelling phenomena with...

This chemistry extension module from the Salters’ Science course deals with the energy changes which accompany chemical reactions. Photosynthesis is considered as the fundamental source of energy to sustain life process, and respiration as the mechanism for coupling the energy to body processes. ‘Calorific values’...
