From the National Non-Food Crops Centre, this factsheet gives an overview of the current and potential market for biorenewable ethanol in chemical applications. It explores the production and uses of bioethanol. Bioethanol can be produced by the fermentation. Starch and sugar feedstocks are also food crops and so...

These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to distinguish between boiling and evaporation of water below boiling point.

Boiling forms a pure sample of water in the gas state (...

The Young Scientist Investigates topic book on Everyday Chemicals was published in 1984 and gives information, illustrated by full colour photographs and drawings, about how chemicals used in everyday life are obtained. The word ‘chemical’ is used throughout to refer to...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that energy is conserved during an exothermic reaction.
• Describe how the temperature of the chemicals will change with time after an exothermic reaction.

The ‘Experimenting with Industry’ series was published in the mid-1980s when it presented industry-related science practicals for schools. It was developed as part of a 'teachers into industry' project organised by The Association for Science Education (ASE) on behalf...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that evaporation occurs in different liquids, not just water.
• Predict that evaporation will occur in liquids with a temperature that is less than or greater than that of...
