Some have said that the value of science education has declined and our goal of scientific literacy is an unrealized and unrealizable myth. Others have simply declared that our efforts to reform have failed. Rodger...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

This simulation allows students to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of acid and base strength, given acids or bases at the same concentration, by:

1. Relating the strength of an acid or base to the extent to which it dissociates in water
2. Identifying all...

This topic, from the Association for Science Education, focuses on the issue of acid rain and its effects on our society and our environment. Students explore the local and regional impacts of acid rain and then exchange information about their findings. As they work though the topic the students find out about the...

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

• Recognise that the source of pollutants causing acid rain may be a long way from where the acid rain falls.
• Identify sources of pollution that may cause acid rain.
• Name...

Science across Europe was a project linking secondary schools across Europe through the science curriculum. It focused on issues in science, technology and society that...

This series provides an introduction to key scientific principles and processes.

This volume is part of a series which introduces the core areas of chemical science, covering important concepts in an accessible style.

Each book in the series contains a number of experiments and...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for acids and redox reactions at A level. Curriculum links include acids, redox, titration, calculations, oxidation, reduction, and formulae.

Although produced to support the teaching of OCR AS/A Level Chemistry A specifications (...

This resource can be used to demonstrate an understanding of the use of acids and alkalis in the food and drinks industry. A series of activities involving the preparation of sherbet, scones and dumplings using raising agents illustrate the function of acidulants. The flavouring and preservative nature of citric...
