Abstract
What role do ‘chemical experiences’ play in helping children grasp the particulate nature of matter and use this idea to explain observed phenomena?
How do we use the art and aesthetics of lithography to introduce children to chemical reactions? What skills would children learn from this multisensorial and fun approach to science?
Why is it important for teachers to trace the history of evolving definitions of elements and atoms, and communicate the conditional nature of their validity?
Can we use poetry to teach chemistry? How would it change the ways in which students engage with science?
Join us in exploring these questions in three sections of our latest issue – Our Chemical World, I am a Scientist, and Snippets.
