By accident this week, I found a program on BBC4 called "Chemistry - A Volatile History". This was part 1 of a three part documentary series (I think the presenter said there were two more episodes) and focused on the dscovery of the elements. There were dramatic links featuring early experiments, as well as modern day technology. It is currently on the BBC website via i-player. Part 2 is next Thursday at 9pm and will focus on the periodic table. I found it fascinating stuff, and really not to be missed if you are taking A level chemistry or even just interested in science. This is how science should be taught in school. My view is that science is a very practical subject and must be taught as such to really be appreciated. This program certainly ticks all the right boxes for me. More please!
