Trevor Critchley reviews this booster aimed for C/D borderline students

This book is aimed at supporting students on the C/D grade borderline, though I found it useful for higher grade students as well. It contains many well-structured activities, which could be used either for teaching, revision or formative assessment.

The four sections - knowledge boosters, concept boosters, experiment boosters and argument boosters - are highly appropriate. The first section is rather sparse - it has only some quiz cards, a Haber process diagram to label and a worksheet of covalent bonding diagrams to complete. However the remaining sections have more to offer.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
