Introduction

Chemistry is one of the core sciences, underpinning many other disciplines. The department of Chemistry recognises the important role it needs to play in supporting schools and colleges through a variety of activities and support ranging from laboratory classes and spectroscopic workshops, to advice on careers in chemistry. We are pleased to announce our schools and colleges programme for 2009-10.

On these pages hopefully you will find all the information you require, should you wish for more please feel free to contact us at chem.schools@sheffield.ac.uk, we are only too happy to help.

University of Sheffield Schools Laboratory (USSL)

Our schools laboratory was officially opened on November 7 2007. If you would like to express an interest in your school using this innovative facility, please fill in the on-line form by selecting this link.

The department of Chemistry secured funds to create the UK's first dedicated schools laboratory, located here in the Dainton Building at Sheffield. It is a modern, fully equipped science laboratory, suitable for conducting many experiments at Key Stage 5, suitable for teacher Continuing Professional Development and Curriculum Material Development. The funding for this venture was supported jointly through NESTA and the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Annual Salters’ Festival

The department hosts the annual Salters’ Festival. Nearly 50 students from 11 schools across the region attended an all day event.
