8 ways to boost student understanding with examples and non-examples

When trying to understand difficult chemistry concepts, secondary students learn by first understanding an example, and then generalising from it.

Read this article to find out exactly how to go about it, to boost your students’ understanding no matter what chemistry concept you are teaching.
