Learning about Materials
The resources in this book from the Royal Society of Chemistry provide a variety of activities for pre-16 and post-16 students to give them opportunities to apply chemical ideas in unfamiliar contexts. There are three main topics each related to modern materials. Each main section is subdivided and the individual sections can generally…
Zinc and Zirconia
Zinc and its extraction are not directly included in pre-16 and post-16 syllabuses, however the processes by which it is isolated and its chemistry can be used to illustrate many aspects of chemistry in these courses. The first main section of this booklet, from the Royal Society of Chemistry, is designed to provide stimulating and…
Sodium Carbonate – a Versatile Material
This Royal Society of Chemistry booklet presents learning material based on the manufacture and uses of sodium carbonate made by the Solvay (ammonia-soda) process. None of the material assumes any prior knowledge of the Solvay process. Parts three and five are entirely self-contained and require no teacher input. The booklet was…
More Modern Chemical Techniques
This book from the Royal Society of Chemistry was one of a series produced by School Teacher Fellows. The aim of this book was to inform and update teachers on analytical techniques commonly used in industry, research and other analytical laboratories. A number of the techniques may be unfamiliar to teachers and students in schools…
Modern Chemical Techniques
This book from the Royal Society of Chemistry was one of a series produced by School Teacher Fellows. Each chapter in the book covers much of the basic theory for those coming new to the techniques. This theory is explained without emphasising the mathematics and physics involved. Where appropriate descriptions of the instrumentation…
