Inspirational Chemistry: Resources for Modern Curricula [Paperback]

This book and supplementary information (see link) contains experiments and resources which support the teaching of chemistry in schools. These range from new approaches to basic science (such as rates and rhubarb) to modern developments such as combinatorial chemistry and nanochemistry.What use is chemistry?; Elements, compounds, structures and reactions; Large Molecules; Modern applications; Nanotechnology; Sustainable development and green chemistry; AnalysisChemistry is an exciting subject that is continually developing and changing to meet the challenge of our modern world. This resource includes a variety of experiments and activities that range from new approaches to basic science (such as rates and rhubarb) to modern developments such as combinatorial chemistry and nanochemistry. There is a strong emphasis on sustainable development and Green Chemistry and it is hoped teachers will share with their students current thinking in industry and academia. All materials and activities have been compiled by Vicky Wong, the Royal Society of Chemistry Teacher Fellow 2004-2005. This resource was produced as part of the Royal Society of Chemistry's programme for the support of education in the field of the chemical sciences.This book and supplementary information contains experiments and resources which support the teaching of chemistry in schools.
