This series of guides to experiments was published by Unilever between 1964 and 1973. The experiments were adapted from procedures used in Unilever laboratories at the time to show the relevance of basic and applied research in the development and testing of new consumer products. The experiments relate to topics...

Students test crystal (alum) deodorants using either a red cabbage indicator or a universal indicator. The universal indicator suggests that the deodorant reacts as an acid, whereas the red cabbage suggests that the deodorant reacts as a base. What is happening here?

This resource can be used with different...

This article discusses how chemical tests can reduce the numbers of animals used in the testing of new products.

The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2015, Volume 25, Issue 4.

Produced by Becta, these case studies illustrate how information communication technology (ICT) can be used to enhance teaching and learning in science.

Particles and their behaviour are a hard-to-teach component of chemistry, not least because these are difficult concepts to visualise. This case study...

In this short video clip, produced by Becta, a group of GCSE students describe how they used...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), the activities in this resource allow students to examine science concepts applicable to the healthcare industries and the work of people in the sector.

The activities in the resources cover areas that include:
* Determination of the...

This Catalyst article describes how the distribution of volcanoes across the Earth’s surface tells scientists about the underlying pattern of tectonic plates. Much can been learned about volcanoes by observing them from orbiting spacecraft.

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these materials help students to understand key ideas in the use of agrochemicals. These include:
* synthetic and natural pesticides
* biological control
* food chains and the management of ecosystems
* predator-prey relationships...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The use of fuels in keeping warm
* The chemical changes when fuels burn
* Some consequences of the large scale use of fuels.

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources allow students to consider the problems of industrial waste disposal. In particular they focus on the biological treatment of industrial waste using air as a source of oxygen and problems that such biological treatment plants face.

A Year 11 module from the Salters’ Key Stage Four double award science course. The breakdown of domestic waste is observed. A text exercises describes the processes used in a waste water plant. Natural cycles, including the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle are...

The Young Scientist Investigates topic book on Water was published in 1982 and gives information, illustrated by full colour photographs and drawings, about the importance of water, where it is found, the forms it can take and some of its properties. The book is...
