Overview

This series of flipped learning and lesson worksheets builds a short course introducing learners to the fundamental ideas they will build on in their post-16 chemistry courses. 

The flipped learning worksheets offer preparation work for each lesson, including a revision section directly relevant to the new lesson content and a gentle introduction to new content. These worksheets can be put together to form a module booklet and given to learners at the start of the course.

The lesson worksheets include questions to cover all pertinent content and challenge misconceptions. Johnstone’s triangle and a scale diagram is included on each to help learners make connections between the mascroscopic, sub-microscopic and symbolic.

Read more about how this course was developed and find teaching tips in the article Flip the fundamentals for first-class foundations.
