An NZIC-sponsored one-stop website for secondary
school chemistry teachers has been launched.
ChemTeach, at www.chemteach.ac.nz,
has been set up by a team from the University of Canterbury
(UC) in conjunction with the New Zealand Institute
of Chemistry (NZIC) Specialist Education Group and
Victoria University of Wellington.
Designed to be a comprehensive source of information
for chemistry teachers, the site offers a range of
teaching resources and assessment tools as well as
information about chemistry education initiatives,
events, competitions, news and links to other relevant
websites.
