Analytical chemistry is an important area of chemistry as it provides us with techniques and methods for identifying what something is. These techniques include distillation, chromatography, various chemical tests and various forms of spectroscopy.
Develop your understanding of the key concepts of analytical chemistry and gain the ability to identify and address common misconceptions your students may have with face-to-face courses for both pre-16 and post-16 teaching.
Pre-16 course
Learning objectives
Participants will learn about:
- the physical and chemical properties used to separate mixtures
- strategies and activities to support problem solving, working scientifically and the development of practical skills
Learning outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- describe the physical and chemical properties used to separate mixtures
- design problem solving activities to challenge student understanding of analytical chemistry
- effectively teach practical science through the context of analytical chemistry
- plan aspects of working scientifically into learning schemes
Each course is tailored to specific needs, so objectives and outcomes may vary slightly from those given here.
Post-16 courses
Learning objectives
Participants will learn about:
- qualitative and quantitative analysis
- strategies for teaching instrumental analysis
Learning outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- apply a range of pedagogies to teaching qualitative and quantitative chemistry
- access a range of teaching resources including practical and modelling activities for teaching instrumental analysis
Each course is tailored to specific needs, so objectives and outcomes may vary slightly from those given here.
