Triple Science: chemistry RH779 / D09
Summary
This course is for non-specialists who want to become more confident in teaching chemistry at KS4. It will provide a range of simple, safe and effective practical work as well as addressing key concepts that stretch students.
Outcomes
You will be able to:
- Develop strategies for teaching quantitative chemistry
- Become familiar with the organic chemistry content of GCSE chemistry
- Consider the difficult topics of chemical equilibria, bond energies and acid/base strength
- Develop an appreciation of the unifying concept of redox
- Identify effective ways of linking chemical concepts and take away resources to help with the next day’s lessons!
Session 1: Quantitative Chemistry
- Develop a strategy for teaching and explaining the mole concept
- Carry out practical work that involves the use of the mole
- How to successfully present practical demonstrations
Session 2: Organic Chemistry
- Explore beyond the basics of crude oil and hydrocarbons
- Investigate alcohols, acids and esters
Session 3: Physical Chemistry Concepts
- Dynamic equilibria and how to model it
- Bond making and breaking – calculating energy changes
- Strong and weak acids and bases
Session 4: Redox as a unifying concept
- Which reactions are not redox?
- Electrolysis and cells
- Ionic equations and half -equations
