Teaching KS3/KS4 Chemistry: Ensuring the basics are taught well

This course is for non-specialists who want to become more confident in teaching chemistry at KS3 and KS4. Consider different, more effective ways of teaching basic chemistry and take away resources to help with the next day’s lessons!

‘Taking it Further’ resources will be available for delegates wanting to develop their understanding beyond GCSE chemistry. Indeed, a little more knowledge helps chemistry make sense.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

• Develop a wider understanding of the behaviour of sub-microscopic particles
• Appreciate that energy considerations are as important in chemistry as the chemicals themselves
• Make more sense of chemistry by using all the patterns and principles available
• Consider the essential mathematics that chemistry teachers must now use and identify sources of support for non-specialists
• Consider different – more effective – ways of teaching basic chemistry and take away resources to help with the next day’s lessons!
