Calculations in AS / A Level Chemistry

Product Information

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. One parent told me later that it was this experience that decided them on sending their daughter to the school. Leaving the safety of academia and the gentle footpaths and byways of the countryside (and DIY), he tried something completely different…. Tony Harris' artwork credits include Starman, Aquaman, Iron Man, JSA, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and Daredevil. The resulting back injury required the attendance and use of the Cornwall Air Ambulance, as can be seen in the picture.

Calculations in A Level Chemistry guides your students through the various types of calculations whi . At one stage our excellent lab technician, Pete Seymour (still a lab technician at Truro School), decided he was bored with his white lab coat and tie-dyed it a sort of green-blue colour (I hesitate here, because my wife and I rarely agree on where something is on the spectrum around turquoise). I started by concentrating on the bits that textbooks tend to do too quickly and that students often find difficulty with.

In this article, Jim tells us how his idea for Chemguide grew because of the one-to-one teaching support sessions he gave to A-Level students at Truro School.

Obviously, that helped them, but it also had an enormous influence on my future, because it gave me real insight as to where their difficulties lay, and to sense immediately when students were finding my approach unclear. You will often find comments suggesting that you should refer to your syllabus or to recent exam papers. Suitable for use with all AS and A Level specifications, it helps students to understand mathematical concepts specific to AS and A Level Chemistry. Back in 2013 I was excited to start my new job at Truro School as Head of Chemistry, fresh faced and eager to meet my new team.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.

Chatting over our usual morning coffee one day, he casually revealed that Jim Clark had once been Head of Chemistry at Truro School. We are investigating a range of green chemical technologies and their application to major chemical challenges. The last year of 11+ (which uniquely included some 10+ students as well that year – my son, Paul was one) generated one of the best years ever. He also enjoyed walking many long-distance footpaths in the Peak and Lake Districts, the Dales and South West Coast Path. It was written to cover the calculations in UK AS and A level chemistry syllabuses (roughly for ages 16 - 18 years), but chemistry calculations are just the same wherever in the world you are working.

I need the income from sales of my books both to live and to subsidise the running costs of this site. That will give you the full contents list and the index, the first 6 pages of Chapter 1, and all the answers to the problems in the book - including the fully worked answers. Calculations in A Level Chemistry guides your students through the various types of calculations which they will encounter during their AS/A level course in a clear and simple way.

These include environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalysis, energy efficient microwave and ultrasonic-activated processes, supercritical fluid extraction of valuable chemicals from plants, and novel materials derived from biomass.

When I first met Pete, my technician, I soon realised he was a veteran of Truro School, and having worked there for many years, he had worked with quite a few chemistry teachers in his time. 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.My over-riding aim is to try to increase your understanding of these difficult bits so that you gain confidence. 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.
