In search of solutions

A fun collection of 50 chemical 'egg races' for 11-19 year-olds. Students are provided with some standard apparatus and 'junk' items with which to solve various problems within certain time limits. Designed with enjoyment in mind and to enhance problem-solving and teamwork skills the book was written by teachers for teachers. Many activities link to the UK National Curriculum.

Each egg race has a student sheet setting out the problem and a teacher's guide listing apparatus and advice on problem solving. This book is excellent for extending normal class work and chemistry club activities. The activities are also grouped according to the skills practiced, for example, identifying unknown substances or theoretical problems.
