  1. Starter Activity Have a chocolate! How is the soft centre made?

  2. Edible Experiments 14 Activities that are suitable for use in the classroom, at a science club, or on an outreach day

  3. Royal Society of Chemistry: Education Ruth PatchettEducation Coordinator, Midlands

  4. Who to ask: Education Coordinators • Education Coordinators can: • Point you in the right direction • Put you in touch with the right people • Keep you in touch with what is happening in your area • Support you in any way they can (resources, CPD, events etc.) • RSC Education Coordinators: Midlands • dobbsh@rsc.org • R.Patchett.1@warwick.ac.uk • Twitter: @RSC_MidsEd

  6. Learn Chemistry http://rsc.li/learn-chemistry

  7. KS3/4/5 Nuffield Foundation – Practical Chemistry • This collection of over 200 practical activities demonstrates a wide range of chemical concepts and processes. • Each activity contains comprehensive information for teachers and technicians. USAGE: KS3/4/5 Demos and class practicals rsc.li/nuffield

  8. KS4/5 Maths for Chemistry One of our best loved resources KS4: Starters for 10 KS5: Advanced Starters for 10 • Other topics • Organic chemistry • Thermodynamis • Kinetics • Trends • Redox • Bonding • Atomic structure • Analysis • Experimental skills • Equalibria USAGE: • Re-visit tricky concepts in bite-size chunks… • …or use as a plenary for assessment for learning. rsc.li/starters-for-ten

  9. Outreach and Science Club activities We have plenty of resources on Learn Chemistry that can be used as extra-curricular teaching resources Search ‘Outreach’ to find resources that were developed for the Cambridge Science Festival For more project based activities that can last a few weeks try the ‘In Search of Solutions’ and ‘In Search of More Solutions’ resources

  10. KS3 Mission: Starlight – a global experiment on UV protection • Introduced by British astronaut Tim Peake, our latest global experiment asks students (7-16 years) to take part in our experiment and share their results. • Use UV colour changing beads to determine what materials can be used for spacesuits, visors and even the International Space Station (ISS). USAGE: Lessons and science clubs – differentiated resources. Practice on planning practicals KS3/4 rsc.li/uv-mission#globalexperiment

  11. Equilibrium Curriculum links: chemical reactions, reversible and irreversible changes What happens to the number of suns and moons as they are turned over? If one person turns two cards over at a time, what happens now? Easy Equilibrium

  12. Learn Chemistry Partnership • Connect your school to the world's leading chemistry community  • 50% discount (£50  £25) on online CPD for ALL teachers in an LCP school enter the code CPDLCP5018 rsc.li/lc-partnership

  13. https://eic.rsc.org/ Education in Chemistry (EiC) • One free copy provided to all schools • Additional copy sent to named contacts at Learn Chemistry Partnership schools • Copy available today • Enhanced online content to compliment the main article

  16. Teachers’ Spectroscopy ExperienceTuesday 24 April, 4-6pm, University of Nottingham The University of Nottingham are hosting a visit to see their state-of-the-art NMR and mass spectrometry facilities. Improve your knowledge of these techniques and gain insight into their use in active research to incorporate into your lessons. Northampton teachers meeting: Improving Literacy in ScienceMonday 25 June, 4-6pm, Northampton School for BoysCome and learn some tools that can help overcome language and literacy issues you are facing in the classroom. Discover new resources that can support your leaning and practise some hands-on approaches to improving your students’ literacy Working Towards an Ideal Chemistry Curriculum: Focus GroupWednesday 27 June, 4-6pm, Nottingham Council House, Old Market SquareWe are looking for secondary chemistry teachers to take part in a focus group considering curriculum and qualifications. This will be an interactive session and a unique opportunity to have your opinion heard and influence future change (as and when it comes – we are not advocating for immediate change).Easy Access by tram from Notts train station: Teacher and Family Day: Mines, Metals & Fossil FuelsSaturday 30 June, from 9:45am, Black Country Living MuseumThe West Midlands Chemistry Teachers Centre, (WMCTC) are hosting their annual Teacher and Family day at the Black Country living museum this year. Investigate learning opportunities outside of the classroom whilst enjoying a day with your family.

  17. Chemistry at Work eventThursday 28 June, National Space Centre, Leicester7, 8 and 9 November, Black Country Living Museum, DudleyChemistry at Work events are hugely popular and offer students a circus of hands-on workshops to showcase the work done by chemists in a range of real careers. Themes of workshops are often linked to the host venue.
