Chemical Industry Education Centre
Experienced teachers, working for the CIEC, have created over 100 teaching and learning resources and a suite of interactive and informative websites for use by teachers and students. They show how science works in real-life contexts and demonstrate how the chemical industry is relevant to society.
Resources cover all age ranges and help to:
• enhance the effective teaching of science and technology
• create enthusiasm in school students and children for science and technology
• generate an improved level of understanding between schools and science-based industries
• create a better understanding of the nature and role of science-based industries within society
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
Aluminium: Cradle to Grave
The resource pack is produced by the Chemical Industry Education Centre. It looks at the life-cycle and environmental impact of aluminium products. Student activities and investigations help to illustrate curriculum science in real-life contexts. HEALTH and SAFETY Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include…
Breathing Made Easy
Produced by the Chemical Industry Education Centre, these resources help students understand asthma, its diagnosis and treatment. Through role play, practical work and demonstrations, students investigate lung structure and function, peak flow and breathing, and look at the medicines used in the treatment of asthma. HEALTH and…
Captains of Industry
Produced by the Chemical Industry Education Centre, these resources allow students to develop strategies for the profitable operation of fertiliser manufacturing in the United Kingdom. Students gain an understanding of how science is used in an industrial context. The use of energy and raw materials is related to the chemistry involved…
Cough Syrup
Produced by the Chemical Industry Education Centre, these materials put curriculum science in a real-life context. The activities are based on the development of a new cough syrup. Students identify the best conditions for growing micro-organisms to produce the active ingredient in the medicine, the best way to collect it, and the…
Emergency Care
These resources have been produced by the Chemical Industry Education Centre. Activities explore the work of people who develop and test blends of PVC for use in medical equipment. Topics covered include how PVC is produced, why PVC is used for medical applications and how it is tested with the likes of simulated stomach contents…
Farming Tales
These resources are produced by the Chemical Industry Education Centre and are designed to illustrate the value and benefits of agricultural science to the community. Materials involve students in a range of active learning, developed from real life contexts or 'stories' taken from the agrochemical industry. The materials…
Feel the Force
These Chemical Industry Education Centre resources look at forces in real-life contexts. Students have an opportunity to learn about the properties of air and air resistance. The context is that of a transport company looking for ways to reduce the drag of their lorries and so improve fuel economy. HEALTH and SAFETY Any use of…
Green Chlorine
Produced by the Chemical Industry Education Centre, these materials help students understand the underlying principles of electrolysis in the manufacture of chlorine. They also look at a risk benefit analysis of the chlorine industry and observes how increasing technology has changed the efficiency of the process. HEALTH and SAFETY Any…
Healthy Drinks and Tasty Toothpaste
These Chemical Industry Education Centre materials allow students to investigate the effectiveness of toothpaste. This science investigation pack draws on a toothpaste manufacturer who wants to develop an appealing toothpaste that provides maximum protection against the effect of sugar in drinks. Sample pages from the resource are…
Kitchen Concoctions
The Chemical Industry Education Centre resources put curriculum science in real-life contexts. These materials focus on the use of mixtures in the kitchen. Students examine a mince-pie as a 'mixture' and compare 'real' dairy cream with imitation aerosol cream. Activities include making a soap bar, developing…
Pinch of Salt
This Chemical Industry Education Centre resource puts curriculum science into real-world contexts and provides a cross-curricular approach to salt. Students do a range of investigations whilst learning about solutions, evaporation and filtration. These science activities are linked to further work in English, mathematics, technology,…
The Essential Chemical Industry
This resource, provided by the Chemical Industry Education Centre (CIEC), is intended for students studying A level chemistry. It gives an up-to-date description of the industry; all units include information provided by industry experts and presented so that the material is relevant to the curriculum. In this sample, six units have…
