In charge of Chemistry at SSERC. If you're teaching chemistry in Scotland (and beyond) we're here to help.

It was lovely to meet (or re-meet) We had a great time, I hope you did too.25 Feb 2026 17:21 +0000at://did:plc:rxvm7tq2zyk3inehoapkrfae/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfp6yowngk2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/ssercchemistry.bsky.social/post/3lxxdlnbqi22yIf the H&S session doesn't tickle your fancy. There is a cehmistry one at 4:00pm on some chemistry related to the number 60 - paramagnetism, complexes and microtitrations.

Is your school using them? (details of location, even just country, would be helpful). 2. If so, do you have any comments on their usability, safety etc?24 Jun 2025 09:37 +0000at://did:plc:rxvm7tq2zyk3inehoapkrfae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsdsdcif2c25https://bsky.app/profile/ssercchemistry.bsky.social/post/3lqvgegztps2fGreat first day on the AH Chemnistry Projects course.

SSERC Chemistry has made the jump to Bluesky. Here's a pretty picture of a (so far) vain attempt to use potassium permanganate to determine the amount of alcohol in a solution. Not giving up yet though.01 May 2025 11:17 +0000at://did:plc:rxvm7tq2zyk3inehoapkrfae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lo46qazep526
