DESCRIPTION
This website is for teachers of chemistry in schools and colleges. It is a collection of experiments that demonstrate a wide range of chemical concepts and processes.

Some of the experiments can be used as starting-points for investigations or for enhancement activities. Many have links to carefully selected further reading and all include information and guidance for technicians.


Chemistry is a practical science. Practical activities are not just motivational and fun: they also enable students to apply and extend their knowledge and understanding of chemistry in novel investigative situations, which can aid learning and memory and stimulate interest.


Nuffield have published a new set of resources to support the teaching of practical science for Key Stages 3-5. The resources are part of their Practical Work for Learning project, which explores how three different teaching and learning approaches can be applied to practical work. Visit the Practical Work for Learning website to find out more.
COMMENTS
The experiments are grouped by topic, but a full list is also available, with 214 experiments listed to June 2014

Practical Chemistry has been developed by the Nuffield Foundation and the Royal Society of Chemistry in association with CLEAPSS, which provides safety advice.
NAME OF THE REVIEWING ORGANISATION
