Calculations in AS / A Level Chemistry

Product Information

But it wasn’t only the outstanding students that we were successful with – there were plenty of ‘average’ students who achieved more than they ever expected. Reviewed by a language specialist to ensure the book is written in a clear and accessible style for students whose first language may not be English. So, you start at the beginning of the first year with students who may never have been allowed to do anything remotely dangerous at home and teach them over a very short time how to handle fragile equipment and potentially harmful situations safely and confidently. Transferable skills, needed for progression into higher education and employment, are signposted allowing students to understand, and engage with, the skills they’re gaining. lotsofexplanationandlotsofworkedthroughexamplesofeverytypeofquestiontheycouldgiveyousoitsamatteroflearningthroughpractise.

It is designed to supply students with the best preparation possible for the examination: * Integrated exam practice throughout, with differentiated revision exercises, exam practice and learning summary sections.

Supervising class practical sessions needs total concentration so that you know everything that is going on in every corner of the lab, but if the practical is all running smoothly, this can get quite boring, particularly if what they are doing is rather routine. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the new Edexcel International GCSE (9-1) specification with progression, international relevance and support at its core. So, I spent some spare money on a tape player, amplifier and speakers and started playing classical music from my collection at home.

In fact it is now being used by people on equivalent (16 to 18 year old) courses worldwide and by students at the beginning of university level courses. If you have questions about other things relating to the site, they may have been answered in my questions and comments section. That is because you will find what you need to know at this level in my chemistry calculations book (see link below). Pearson progression tools allows quick and easy formative assessment of student progress, linked to guidance on how to personalise learning solutions. Calculations in AS and A Level Chemistry fills a gap in the market and provides excellent coverage of the calculations needed at A Level.Biography: Jim Clark is a Cambridge graduate with over 30 years of teaching experience at this level. After a difficult day he decided to go home and begin a spot of DIY, taking his frustrations out on an old greenhouse with a concrete block base. If you are working in another examination system, you still need to know exactly what is expected of you, but will have to find that information for yourself.

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Traditional petroleum resources will gradually be replaced by sustainable resources derived from nature including trees, plants and food and biorefinery wastes. Youcanknowallthecalculations,thehardthingisknowingwhentoapplythemandIthinkyoucan'tlearntheseskillsthroughabook.Suitable for use with all AS and A Level specifications, it helps your students to understand mathematical concepts specific to AS and A Level Chemistry. Chemguide is designed as a tool to assist 16–18-year-old chemistry students and is estimated to be used by almost every A-Level chemistry student in the UK, with around 1. Assumes only a basic knowledge of GCSE Chemistry to help bridge the gap between GCSE and AS/A Level. As of July 2016, I am unlikely to add anything new to Chemguide, apart from the occasional bit of maintenance to make sure that it is as accurate as possible. Now I proudly tell every new A-Level cohort about Jim Clark and his Truro School legacy, and year on year, my students use ‘Chemguide’ to develop and enhance their chemical knowledge.

The unique set of circumstances provides an exciting opportunity for the discovery and application of new green chemistry solutions to these sustainability challenges. What they will be left with are practical skills in handling fragile equipment and potentially dangerous materials including household things like bleach, oven cleaner, paint stripper and weedkiller.

He also enjoyed walking many long-distance footpaths in the Peak and Lake Districts, the Dales and South West Coast Path.Guides students through each exercise with help and hint boxes as they gradually progress through the text. Each type of calculation is introduced in a very gentle way, making no great assumptions about your chemistry knowledge or maths ability. Thank you Jim: and if you ever fancy popping in for a coffee with Pete and myself, you would be most warmly welcomed, and our students of course would be completely star struck!
