http://www.aquimicadascoisas.org/en/
Topics related to the resource
Crystallisation, Naming compounds, nanotechnology, organic chemistry, soap-making, excitation of electrons.
Examples of learning objectives
Links chemistry to everyday life, e.g. chemistry of chocolate, chemistry of fireworks.
Practical information regarding the use
of the site/simulation...
The English subtitles on the video make it a bit difficult.
You could print the English commentary and give to students.
Information about the class
11 students in a fifth year chemistry class.
Suggestion for use
Could be used as a quick video to link in everyday life examples to a chapter just covered, e.g. fireworks and flame tests.
Insights into student
use / thinking
Students found interesting but would have preferred video in English.
Would have preferred a bit more detail of the chemistry.
Teacher’s conclusions
These videos stimulated discussion in class and could be used as a starting or finishing point for a chapter.

National Reports on successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry The national reports on chemistry successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry are now available on the related section of the project portal. The reports presents examples of successful experiences in the partner countries and the results of testing of ICT resources with science teachers.
