On this page, you can download the teachers' notes for all the activities. They are split into two groups according to which Chemistry Club handbook they first appeared in. You might choose to download the larger files that have all the teachers' notes for each volume.

The teachers' notes are also available on the download pages for the activities.

All the files are in portable document format (pdf). You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open them. This is freely available from the Adobe site.
Safety warning
All of these activities should be carried out in a laboratory under the supervision of a qualified Chemistry teacher. When you select an activity, you will be asked to confirm that this is the case. Only then will you get a link to download that activity.
