Uses simple language to clearly explain the basic principles *Guides students through each exercise with help and hint boxes as they gradually progress through the text *Covers variants of each type of calculation "Calculations in AS and A Level Chemistry fills a gap in the market and provides excellent coverage of the calculations needed at A Level. The unique set of circumstances provides an exciting opportunity for the discovery and application of new green chemistry solutions to these sustainability challenges. I'm simply not interested in the "learn this parrot-fashion and you will pass" approach - it is much more of a slog than taking a bit of time to understand what is going on. Chapters are clearly laid out, with plenty of worked examples, and there are helpful notes throughout. 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.

Many of these facilities are also available to the wider community at various times, please use the links below for more details. We are investigating a range of green chemical technologies and their application to major chemical challenges. Guides students through each exercise with help and hint boxes as they gradually progress through the text.Calculations in AS and A Level Chemistry fills a gap in the market and provides excellent coverage of the calculations needed at A Level. They will probably be surprised to hear this, but I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the students I taught one-to-one or in very small groups.

As someone who has zero sporting interest or ability, I always saw that as a waste of my skills, and eventually came to a compromise where I provided a space for supervising off-games pupils and used the time for a chemistry clinic for A-Level students needing a little extra support. That is because you will find what you need to know at this level in my chemistry calculations book (see link below). During my time at the school, Wednesday afternoon was established as a time for games and activities.

Assumes only a basic knowledge of GCSE Chemistry to help bridge the gap between GCSE and AS/A Level. 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.

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. Add and customize text, images, and fillable fields, whiteout unnecessary details, highlight the important ones, and comment on your updates. is joint author (with Steve Owen and Rachel Yu) of Edexcel International GCSE (9-1) Chemistry published in 2017. A discussion started between them, and I realised that I had no idea what they were talking about (In fairness to myself, it had drifted into atomic physics!

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.
