About this class

Unlike ordinary revision classes where students are simply taught how to perform calculations or identify substances, this programme focuses on how practical Chemistry questions are set, what examiners expect in students' responses, how marks are awarded and the common mistakes that cause students to lose marks. Students will learn how to interpret practical instructions, identify experimental procedures, record observations accurately, distinguish observations from inferences, perform calculations correctly and present their answers using appropriate scientific language. The programme will also develop students' understanding of the chemical principles behind each experiment so that they can confidently tackle unfamiliar practical questions.

What you'll learn

• Students should be able to:
• independently tackle quantitative analysis questions
• present their experimental results correctly
• obtain accurate answers
• complete qualitative analysis questions systematically
• identify common cations, anions and gases
• provide scientifically accurate observations and inferences
• avoid losing marks through incomplete or incorrectly expressed answers.
