You’ll be hooked on these approaches to improving the quality of student work

To remember their chemistry lessons, students need to think about what has been taught in class. This is different to engaging students in a topic. Attention-grabbing hooks will engage them in a subject, but won’t help them learn and remember. This article explains how science teachers can approach practical work to ensure students learn the science.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
