Share, Talk, Learn Chemistry
A new online area for chemistry education resources has been launched by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Learn Chemistry brings together hundreds of the organisation's resources for teachers and students. The resources have been tagged according to their chemistry content and their relevance to global issues and challenges to improve access. The Learn Chemistry site also hosts a Talk Chemistry area where teachers can connect with each other.
Three Learn Chemistry collections are available on the National STEM Centre eLibrary:
- Making and Using Chemicals For ages: 11-14 | 14-16 | 16-19
- Chemical Techniques and Applications For ages: 11-14 | 14-16 | 16-19
- Chemistry in Primary Science For ages: 5-7 | 7-9 | 9-11
