Abstract

In 1985 the Association for Science Education (ASE) in the U.K. published a blueprint for Education through Science (ASE, 1985) where they pointed out that science education should have "relevance: science education should draw extensively on the everyday experience of pupils." In 1986 we ran a conference for Irish chemistry teachers on 'Everyday Chemistry' (Childs, 1986).
