We know that learning about chemistry starts well before university – that's why we run a number of activities to support learning in schools and colleges for all age groups, ranging from laboratory classes and spectroscopic workshops to careers advice. Our dedicated schools laboratory is fully resourced and run by professional staff members.
Our modern chemistry schools laboratory is suitable for students particularly in KS4 and KS5, to conduct experiments that enhance technical and practical skills
Resources:
In the Buckyball Science Series videos you will learn how small a Buckyball is, and where it sits on the 'Scientific Scale', and be shown how to make your very own model Buckyball; as well as finding out about marvellous molecules and chemical reactions.

Learn about the chemistry of food with 12 Edible experiment videos and demo sheets
From finding out why mustard burns your nasal passages but chillies don’t, the link between beetroot and camels, why you might taste boiled potatoes when you eat cheddar cheese or how beetles can make a surprising contribution to our food – there are experiments for everyone.
