John s contributions to the development of solid state chemistry are particularly noteworthy. Together with industrial and academic chemists interested in this subject, Corbett and others have encouraged and fostered this important area of chemistry. Likewise, in the role of teacher and advisor, John Corbett motivates and encourages young people towards a career in science. His influence on an entire generation of inorganic and soHd state chemists uniquely endears John to his many friends around the world.

An exercise to encourage participants to examine pressures, temptations and reasons that lead young people to start or to continue using alcohol.

In our view all involved in educating in this area should be fully aware of the possibility that young people with whom they are dealing may currently be experiencing or have previously been exposed to the negative consequences of substance misuse and risk within their family and social circles. It is therefore vital that in delivering this education we consider the highly sensitive and personal nature of these topics for such individuals. 

We recognize that levels of intellectual and social maturity vary widely and that we all deal with young people from the most street wise to the most innocent .

In 2004, in the UK, 1136 people were injured in firework accidents with 515 of them needing hospital treatment. More than half of these casualties were young people under the age of 18. In 2004, in the USA, 9600 people were treated for firework injuries in hospital emergency rooms.

Creating a set of cards that contain reasons for young people to become involved in risk-taking behaviour. 

The quiz consists of 45 questions designed to be suitable for young people aged nine to ten. The first three sheets contain a total of 40 questions, which all require answers of either true or false . The fourth sheet has five questions which require short paragraph-length answers. The teacher or group leader can decide on the length of the quiz to suit the participants and the time available. 

The cards detailing pressures, temptations and reasons for young people not to start alcohol use, or for existing users to stop their alcohol use, can be used in exactly the same way.
