#@ChatChemistry this has been a real "eye opener"..pardon the pun.
NaOH requires Goggles at quite a low conc.

Other chemicals it is much Higher HCl for example.

But quite a lot of A Level practical's will require them.

Thank you for all that you do @compoundchem.com
From today I’m no longer sharing my graphics back in the bad place. The best time for this decision was probably a while ago, but the second best time is now.

Thanks to everyone who’s found my account here already. My following here may be smaller but it’s a much more pleasant place to be!

I cannot wait.
Almost there with my graphic for this one but I think it’s going to be tomorrow rather than today – still wrestling with the last few bits!
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to work on computational protein design and protein structure prediction.

#ChatChemistry sadly time is so tight (2hrs a week! 3sciences) some content e.g atmosphere is left and taught as KS4. Yr 9 is KS3 PoS but taught as required by GCSE.
Here is the KS3 Science curriculum: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7d56...

Do you cover it pretty much as listed here or do you have any additions? #ChatChemistry

Join us. Collectively we shift mindsets and make our voices heard to improve Chemistry/Science education.#ChatChemistry
Interested in guest hosting a #ChatChemistry chat next term, or got a suggestion for a topic? We’re currently putting together the schedule for next half term so let us know!

A great time to reflect on the impact of CPs, CPAC,Practical Endorsement. It will be great if HE colleagues joined us to discuss the impact in tertiary #@ChatChemistry #Practicalchemistry
Don't forget to join us for #ChatChemistry at 8pm BST tomorrow!

This week @janeteachesscience.bsky.social will lead a discussion on practical advice for chemistry, problem practicals, and more!

#@ChatChemistry I have a selection of examples. In a large 6th form they include notices ,commendations etc
If you’re a chemistry teacher looking for enrichment ideas, here’s a suggestion for how you could use Ci graphics!
#@ChatChemistry set up a weekly bulletin/newsletter on science in the news with themes using @compoundchem.com infographics e.g food and chem,colour and chem. Did so during Covid & available to parents also to generate discussions at home

Displays are mostly on enriching the curriculum #@ChatChemistry from @roysocchem.bsky.social & @compoundchem.com and recent research.
This is a great idea.
