Teacher-Related Websites
- For those teaching triple science GCSEs, The Triple Science Network site will be of great value in general:
http://www.triplescience.org.uk/
and for chemistry specifically:
http://www.triplescience.org.uk/tripsci/chemistry/effectiveteaching/index.aspx - Talking Science
Talking Science is a Bristish Council website which provides up-to-date information and links to the latest ideas in science communication in the UK.
- Free LabSkills Resources - online practical simulations
- 'Classic Chemistry Experiments'
Teachers looking for the more spectacular demonstrations may like to see the electronic version of the Royal Society of Chemistry's book 'Classic Chemistry Experiments'. 'This collection of 100 chemistry experiments has been developed with the help and support of teachers throughout the UK. It is designed for both the experienced teacher of chemistry and for those whose first subject is not chemistry in the hope that they can communicate the excitement and wonder of the subject to their students.' - MSc Science & Education (formerly MSc SURE). A course designed for all those science education professionals who wish to update their knowledge and further their interest in science and education.

Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Website- RSC Bristol and District Programme
- Science Learning Centres
- Practical Chemistry Website
This website provides all teachers of chemistry with a wide range of experiments to illustrate concepts or processes as starting-points for investigations and for enhancement activities such as club or open day events. It also enables the sharing of skills and experience of making experiments work in the classroom. Lots of information for technicians too.
Practical Chemistry Website is now produced by a team led by Emma Woodley of the RSC.
- www.chemistryteachers.org
This website is designed for chemistry and science teachers worldwide and allows you to quickly find resources from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and elsewhere to use in your teaching.
It works by linking curriculum or chemistry topics to resources via a 'tree' of chemistry. You can view this 'chemistry tree' by using the 'Search by Chemical Keyword' option. - Chemistry Education Research and Practice (CERP)
Chemistry Education Research and Practice (CERP) is the journal for teachers, researchers and other practitioners in chemical education. It is sponsored by the RSC.
It is available free of charge, electronically, four times a year and covers:
- research, and reviews of research in chemical education
- effective practice in the teaching of chemistry
- in depth analyses of issues of direct relevance to chemical education
- Useful Chemistry World Wide Web Sites
