TalkChemistry I am planning on starting a 6th Form "Organic Synthesis Club" next academic year. If anyone has got any suggestions/ resources/ ideas/ pitfalls/ etc... they'd be gratefully received! I’m interested to hear about other teachers’ favourite class Chemistry experiments; which experiments did the class seem most impressed by and why? Does anyone have any ideas of methods etc I can employ to raise the pass rate?
