Quantitative chemistry enables chemists to calculate known quantities of materials and by completing this course you’ll develop your understanding of its core ideas as well as how to convey those ideas to your students.
Pre-16 courses
Learning objectives
Participants will learn about:
- the sequence of key ideas that students need in order to understand quantitative chemistry and succeed with chemical calculations
- common misconceptions and challenges that students experience with quantitative chemistry
- an evidence-based approach to introducing and teaching the mole
- key practical activities that put quantitative chemistry into action
Learning outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- apply sequence learning of key concepts to maximise student progress in quantitative chemistry
- distinguish and challenge common misconceptions in student understanding of quantitative chemistry
- explain the concept of the mole
- plan to use a range of pedagogies to support students with chemical calculations
Each course is tailored to specific needs, so objectives and outcomes may vary slightly from those given here.
