Chemists in a social and
historical context
Chemistry now has a human face and
the aim of this resource is to present chemists as real people and not
stereotypical 'mad scientists' whose lives are completely dominated by science.
It includes carefully chosen examples of chemists through the ages and reflects
on the difficulties they overcame. Today we live in a world where scientists
are accepted regardless of race or gender, however some examples show that this
has not always been the case.
This resource focuses on strategies
for teaching about people in chemistry and is an introduction to some chemists
who played a role in the development of major ideas in the subject. It also
includes a range of activities designed to look at different aspects of
teaching about people in chemistry and the chemical sciences to 11-19 year old
students.
