Acid Rain

In 1872 Robert Angus Smith, the first British air pollution inspector, coined the phrase 'acid rain' when he found sulphuric acid in the rain around Manchester. It took a further 100 years for it to be linked with damage to the environment. But the latest research suggests that factors other than acid rain, such as changing patterns of land use and the action of ozone in the presence of sunlight, may be more damaging. This video looks at the research.

Catalytic Reactions

Chemical reactions can be affected by the addition of substances that take no part in the reaction itself. In chemistry it is common to use substances that accelerate the chemical reaction. All living things also contain catalysts called enzymes. These enzymes lower the activation energy for metabolic reactions so that metabolic processes can take place at low temperatures. This programme shows that catalysts play a vital role not only in manufacturing technology, but also in the metabolic reactions of living things.

The VisChem Project

VisChem is a research and development project for the production of teaching resources in chemistry based on chemicals and educational research. The project is based on the philosophy that understanding chemistry involves being able to link what one sees in the laboratory to what one imagines is happening at the molecular level. Only then can these observations be communicated meaningfully using former nurse and equations. The animations used are unique in terms of attention to detail based on chemical research. They are designed to target misconceptions identified in research on student learning. Artistic licence issues with care and for educational reasons only.
