Update: Thanks to your generous donations, we've reached our target and can now go ahead with printing and sending the posters to teachers for their classrooms. 

If you're a teacher and would like a set of posters for your school or department, get in touch at enquiries@senseaboutscience.org. 

To support a new edition of our guide Making Sense of Chemical Stories, we had posters designed that help debunk common misconceptions about chemicals in everyday life.

Some of the messages might surprise you: "Who says your diet is chemical free?" shows that there more chemicals in an apple than in some sweets and "The dose makes the poison" shows that even everyday natural fruits and vegetables can contain chemicals that are toxic in high enough amounts, but we don't worry about them because the chemicals are present in very small amounts. 

The posters were so popular that schools have asked us to provide them for their classrooms, corridors and common-rooms. We'd really love to get them printed and posted for the new term but we don't have the funding to cover this. 

Can you help us get these posters on classroom walls?

Contribute
Our target of £900 will enable us to print and post the requested copies out to schools and keep a small stock of posters for new requests. 

£20 would cover the delivery of a set of posters in a protective poster tube.

£8 would cover the cost of printing one poster.

We will send out as many posters as we can afford but if we don't reach our total we will not be able to meet all the orders or take new requests.

We recently launched a new edition of our guide Making Sense of Chemical Stories, debunking common chemical misconceptions.
