Laboratory skills for advanced higher chemistry NS513

This course will support the teaching of practical work in chemistry at Advanced Higher Level, including work suitable for Advanced Higher investigations.

Summary

In laboratory sessions participants will have hands-on experience of innovative practical work to support learning outcomes in the Advanced Higher Chemistry course. There will be opportunities to explore ideas and techniques suitable to investigative project work at Advanced Higher level. Via the Gap Task there will be further opportunities for participants to share project ideas.
