4 Oct 22
Learning Method
Remote Delivered CPD

Summary

The Subject Knowledge Enhancement Chemistry courses is aimed at KS4 chemistry teachers, however if you are looking to improve your subject knowledge then they are suitable for chemistry teachers teaching at KS3 and KS5. Ideal for non-specialists (those teaching chemistry outside their degree specialism), early-careers teachers, NQTs, trainees are also welcome looking to deepen their understanding.

Structures & Bonding - (Tuesday 4 October: 4-5pm)

In this workshop we will look at the different models and strategies used to teach ionic, covalent and metallic bonding. We will explore how these different types of bonding and structures are related to the properties of substances, unpicking some common misconceptions along the way.

Organic Chem - (Tuesday 11 October: 4-5pm)

The processing of crude oil to produce fuels, polymers and various other useful substances requires an understanding of several chemistry concepts, linking several areas of the GCSE syllabus. In this workshop we will look at how crude oil is separated by fractional distillation, the structures and properties of different hydrohydrocarbons, and how cracking produces smaller, more useful molecules.

Chemical Changes - (Monday 17 October: 4-5pm)

In this workshop we will look at the process of electrolysis, including the electrolysis of molten ionic compounds, extracting metals, and the electrolysis of aqueous solutions. This will include how to represent the reactions at the electrodes as half equations.
