Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Young people today grow up in a world where the media bombard them with information about the effect of various factors on their health, the safety of everything from household items to nuclear waste, and the risks associated with them. These ideas of health, safety and risk are often poorly understood. Health, Safety and Risk has been produced in order to help teachers bring about a better understanding of these concepts in their students and so that, as young people growing up in a scientific and technological society, they can be properly aware of the risks associated with the world in which they live, and of attempts to minimise them. This resource includes a range of activities for 11-19 year old students designed to promote an understanding of health, safety and risk within the world of school and work. It contains teachers' notes, background information, photocopiable student worksheets and answers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Climate change is a very complex subject. Scientists from many countries around the world are striving to understand how climate change works and then to try to prepare for the changes that may lie ahead.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There are many different approaches to science. Many students in school have a view of science that is far removed from the real world practice of science and they too often consider science to be a defined body of knowledge and scientists to know all the answers. Through a series of exercises this book tries to give students an awareness of the processes of science and of the nature of science as a changing body of knowledge with uncertainties and much remaining to be discovered. It is hoped that, by using it, teachers can communicate to their students some of the wonder and excitement of science and encourage the development of future generations of scientists. 'The Nature of Science' includes a range of activities designed to look at different aspects of the nature of science and to teach investigative skills to 11-19 year old students. It contains teachers' notes, background information, photocopiable student worksheets and answers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chemistry has a human face and the aim of this resource is to present chemists as real people and not stereotypical 'mad scientists' whose lives are completely dominated by science. It includes carefully chosen examples of chemists through the ages and reflects on the difficulties they overcame. Today we live in a world where scientists are accepted regardless of race or gender, however some examples show that this has not always been the case. Chemists in a Social and Historical Context focuses on strategies for teaching about people in chemistry and is an introduction to some chemists who played a role in the development of major ideas in the subject. This resource includes a range of activities designed to look at different aspects of teaching about people in chemistry and the chemical sciences to 11-19 year old students. It contains teachers' notes, background information, photocopiable student worksheets and answers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The materials we take for granted for life in the modern world of the 21st century are subject to rigorous checks during production, whether they be foodstuffs, medicines, polymers, petrochemicals or the waste products of our use of these materials. it is difficult to think of a single product, by-product or waste product that is not chemically analysed during its lifetime. This book, along with its companion volume, Modern Chemical Techniques, attempts to inform and update teachers and others on analytical techniques in a wide variety of chemical science applications. The techniques show how minute amounts of material can be separated and identified and how automation can be used to determine the constituents of extremely large molecular systems. The sequencing of the Human Genome and the move into proteomics is at one end of the scale, whilst the ability to separate and detect atto (10_18) quantities of material is at the other. It is hoped that the book will inform teachers so that they can communicate a flavour of modern analytical methods to their students and support curriculum development so the science curriculum is an evolving organism. This book was produced as part of the Royal Society of Chemistry's programme for the support of education in the field of the chemical sciences.
