Uni hopes chemistry charts will create a reaction in schools

CQUniversity has once again distributed over 6000 full-colour periodic tables of the elements to regional high schools, to support senior science students.

The donation is the brainchild of science lecturer Leanne Voss who says she hopes the tables will add some colour to classrooms and help students learn, while promoting further studies and careers in science.

It's all part of CQUniversity's wider commitment to engage with schools.

Ms Voss said high school students who did not have access to comprehensive periodic tables often resorted to the Internet.

"The periodic tables can be utilised by both teachers and students to support other topics covered in the syllabus, for example boiling and melting points, electronegativity values and electronic structures," she said.
