Chemistry schools partnership

Learning resources, webinars and demonstrations for teachers
chemistry

Last academic year presented major challenges for science education and the UoP chemistry staff in partnership with the RSC would like to reach out and offer more support to schools and colleges. This includes offering of web materials, short tutorials, advice on applying to university and visits (virtual or otherwise) to our school partners.

To make sure this matches with schools needs we are soliciting lists of ideas for online and face to face teaching materials for support. This can be content that links to chemistry A level (or BTech) syllabus such as a particular practical or demonstration that cannot be delivered at school, virtual tour of analytical instrumentation or it could be curiosity-based requests from you or your students. Other possibilities could be short tutorials on certain topics you do not have time to cover (or would appreciate back up!).

Upcoming chemistry events for 2022:

24-28 January 2022 (Virtual, on demand). For students aged 14-16. Teams must consist of two students from Year 9, one student from Year 10 and one from Year 11. Entries must be completed and returned by 1700 on 28 January 2022.

9 June 2022 . Our event directed at GCSE level students identifying as female with an interest in chemistry related careers. Formally Girls into Chemistry. This event was relaunched as GenChem in acknowledgement of the diversity of students that may be wishing to attend and invite expressions of interest for our 2022 event. Places are limited. For Year 9 students.

6 July 2022 . We will be hosting live chemistry demonstrations as part of the Science and Technology Showcase. For secondary schools and 6th forms.
