Welcome to the Practical Chemistry website

Good quality, appropriate chemistry experiments play a vital role in teaching and learning. They can be used to enhance learning and to clarify aspects of theory. Practical activities add to the fun of chemistry and allow students to apply their knowledge and understanding to what they experience.

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.
