The transition to A-level
Simple but effective resources to prepare students beyond GCSE
If you have explored Learn Chemistry you will have found your golden resource in there somewhere. Kristy Turner and Catherine Smith’s Starters for ten series remains mine. The two series so far are mainly aimed at A-Level teaching. Both series are essential materials in the A-Level chemistry teachers’ toolkit. Now though, there’s a new prequel, a chapter 0 !Chapter 0 contains three areas, or competencies, each covering the understanding most pupils will need to upgrade in order to access the A-level course. The first, Basic chemistry competencies, explores ideas around atom, chemical formulae and equations.
