Customer Reviews

An excellent resource for new and experienced teachers.
The book is a concisely written set of ideas for teaching some of the important concepts encountered in chemistry at key stages 3 and 4. Each topic is dealt with seperateley and starts with giving the reader an idea of pupils prior knowledge of the topic from the work they should have done at primary level. A logical progression through the topic is then suggested, with ideas for practical work, resources required and methodology, including many suggestions for the use of IT. At the end of each topic there are lists of books and web pages in order to encourage further, extension or project work which can be used to consolidate pupils understanding of the subject. Overall, an excellent resource for new and experienced teachers of secondary chemistry.
