The Royal Society of Chemistry
(RSC) is the Learned Society
for chemistry and the Professional
Body for chemists in the UK,
with over 46,000 members worldwide.
The RSC is a major publisher
and provider of chemical information,
supports the teaching of chemistry
at all levels, organises hundreds
of chemical meetings a year
and is a leader in communicating
science to the public.
The RSC provides LearnNet,
a new network designed for the
use of teachers and students
of chemistry at all levels.
The network aims to provide
access to products and information
relevant to the study of chemistry.
This site has been classified
by experts in the teaching of
chemistry to ensure that the
best interests of the users
have been accommodated at all
times.

For Can we; should we?
try 'Health, Safety and Risk',
one of the Ideas and Evidence
series booklets for pupils aged
11+.
Young people today grow up
in a world where the media bombard
them with information about
the effect of various factors
on their health, the safety
of everything from household
items to nuclear waste, and
the risks associated with them.
These ideas of health, safety
and risk are often poorly understood.
This resource has been produced
in order to help teachers bring
about a better understanding
of these concepts in their students,
so that as young people growing
up in a scientific and technological
society, they can be properly
aware of the risks associated
with the world they live in,
and of attempts to minimise
them. This resource includes
a range of activities for 11-19
year old students designed to
promote an understanding of
health, safety and risk within
the worlds of school and work.
Pupil sheets can be downloaded
