Spreadsheets, cooking and chemistry... approaches for tricky questions
Thursday January 9, 2025 09:45 - 10:35 GMT
Physics C30
A workshop for those teaching GCSE and A-level chemistry with time to try out and discuss the approaches to tricky topics, such as back titrations, NMR, dynamic equilibria and electrolysis.

Using visual references that students are familiar with, such as making a calculation layout look like a spreadsheet or treating a practical set-up like a recipe in a cookbook, the session is intended to break down the barriers that prevent some students from engaging in the trickier questions, whilst making them fun to teach and easier to mark due to logical structures taught for presenting the answers.

The session is focused on higher tier chemistry GCSE content as well as A-level content, and is suitable for anyone in their teaching journey who would like to try out and share different approaches. Bring a calculator!
