Summary

This course is to help participants who are relatively new to teaching or are new to teaching chemistry post-16. The focus is on the underlying properties of elements and compounds that enable them to be separated from a mixture and to identify them, e.g. in spectroscopy, the quantisation and different energy gaps between levels (electronic, vibrational, etc.) enable elements and compounds to be distinguished from one another.

Outcomes

Participants will:
•appreciate the ‘thread’ of key ideas crucial to students’ understanding of this topic
•learn about some of the ‘misconceptions’ that can arise when teaching this topic and explore ways of dealing with them in the classroom
•try out a range of engaging and relevant practicals and demonstrations and share effective strategies for supporting and enhancing the teaching and learning of analytical techniques
