The CD-ROM includes a large collection of illustrative video
clips of practical laboratory activities. These materials
do not provide instructions, but for those teachers’ who may
wish to replicate activities shown on the CD-ROM, we offer
some advice in the section ‘Practical
Notes’ in the Teachers’ Guide.
Note that in the video clips, in order to avoid a reduction
in image quality, safety screens have not been used during
filming.
Teachers’ attempting to replicate any of the experiments
should consult their employers’ risk assessments for
each practical before use, and consider whether any modification
is necessary for the particular circumstances of their own
class/school. Where activities are not covered by the model
(general) risk assessments used by their employer, schools
may require a special risk assessment. If necessary, CLEAPSS
members can obtain further advice by contacting the Helpline
on 01895 251496 or e-mail science@cleapss.org.uk.
