Analytical techniques are powerful tools in a chemist's armoury.
Spectroscopic data and chemical information are used routinely in
laboratories to follow a chemical reaction or elucidate a chemical
structure. However, the sophistication of the analytical techniques
used changes rapidly, hence the routinely used method of today can
all too readily be superseded by the new technology of tomorrow.
More Modern Chemical Techniques identifies some applications of the
important chemical techniques in use today that are less well known
in schools and colleges and which illustrate how chemistry is using
state-of-the-art technology to push back the frontiers of the
subject. Examples include: elemental analysis such as atomic
absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma techniques;
separations including electrophoresis, structure determination (eg
x-ray diffraction and optical microscopy); and sampling and sample
preparation.
Produced as a result of workshops held at Johnson Matthey
(extraction of platinum group metals), Raychem (smart materials)
and Chemoxy International (biodiesel), this book presents useful
material in the form of teacher's notes and photocopiable
worksheets. It will be useful at pre- and post-16 level.
This resource demonstrates how a combination of modern techniques
is used to ensure that horseracing is both fair and prevents abuse
of the horses involved. Based on the work of the Horseracing
Forensic Laboratory (HFL) located near Newmarket in the UK, the
book comprises five sections of student material. First, an
overview of the work of HFL is presented, followed by sections on
immunoassay, metabolism and chromatography. Teachers' notes are
also included. Following the explanatory text are questions, which
assist with understanding and also illustrate real-life
applications of the chemical techniques encountered at school.
Chemistry at the Races is designed mostly for ages 16+, but some
material is also included for younger students. It is an invaluable
resource for teachers, enabling them to demonstrate an up-to-date
and interesting context for their work.
Chemistry is an experimental subject, and what can be more
stimulating than carrying out a laboratory experiment where the
results are memorable either by their visual nature or by their
tying together of theory. This collection of 100 chemistry
experiments has been developed with the help and support of
teachers throughout the UK. Each student worksheet is accompanied
by a teachers' notes sheet which gives details for teachers and
technicians on apparatus and chemicals, timing, context, teaching
tips, background theory and answers to any questions on the student
worksheets. The student worksheets are also available on the web,
and can be downloaded or adapted as necessary by teachers. Classic
Chemistry Experiments is designed as a teaching aid to help
communicate the excitement and wonder of chemistry to students, and
is ideal for both experienced chemistry teachers and to scientists
from other disciplines who are teaching chemistry. Additional
resources can be downloaded from:

Produced in collaboration with the National Gallery, this resource
pack outlines a range of activities for pre- and post-16 students
of chemistry and art. Printed in full colour throughout, the pack
comprises: * A guide to using the pack * A3-sized prints of 10
paintings from the National Gallery, London * A booklet with
historical information on each painting, including details on the
part science played in cleaning, conservation and restoration * A
booklet of experiments for pre-16 students * A booklet for post-16
students
First made in the late 19th century, paracetamol is now widely used
in a variety of pharmaceutical products. It is used as a painkiller
and to reduce the temperature of patients with a fever. Aimed at
post-16 students, this book provides a series of classroom
activities, both written and practical, relating to paracetamol.
The activities can be carried out singly, or as a coherent package,
and are supported by a guide for teachers and technicians.
Most of us have used aspirin at some time in our lives, but few
will know that a related compound derived from willow bark has been
used to relieve pain and treat fevers for over 2,000 years. Aimed
at post-16 students in chemistry, this book contains activities for
both academic and vocational courses. Ranging from
preparative/analytical to problem-solving exercises, the activities
can be used singly or as a coherent package. A guide for teachers
and technicians is also included.
