Chromatography - a Student-Centered Lesson - GCSE Chemistry

Image
 1. Introduction The teacher introduces the new topic with  intrigue , tells that chromatography is used in pharmacy and industry, and that the previous exams had many questions on this topic.  The students write down in their notebooks the topic and sketch the lesson summary diagram. The teacher introduces the two objectives of the lesson. 2. Sticky notes - brainstorming - Aha Slides The students show their previous knowledge and creativity . Each student contributes 3 words to the word cloud. 3. Virtual experiment - can be done in the lab also The students do the experiment first and then interpret the results, before learning the theory. This constructivist approach allows the student to think for themselves.  - Recap about why plants are green - See the experiment video for 30 second - Try it yourself This experiment uses the  I do - We do - You do approach. 4. Sample exam question The students together solve two questions about chromatography from the pr...

How Do Waterfalls Form? 🏔️💦

Why is the atomic number marked with a Z

Image
  General Chemistry Online: FAQ: History of chemistry: Why is atomic number called "Z"? Why is mass number called "A"? Z symbol for atomic number probably comes from  German   " Zahl " (number). A - Atomic number" in German is " Atomzahl "

Why are the electron shells called KLM, not ABC?

What is Parsec and Parallax?

Image
 Let's find out how to measure the distance from Earth to any star. >>>>>>>>>  Parsec Parallax  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< But first you shall know how to measure angles. 1. Read this: 90°11`41`` This is 90 degrees, 11 arcminutes, and 41 arcseconds 2. Is this correct? Why? 51°20`90``  No. Arcseconds and arcminutes cannot be greater than 60! 90`` -> 1`30`` 51°20`90`` -> 51°21`30`` Arc minutes and arc seconds are just like minutes and seconds on the clock!

Learn Fundamentally

 Fundamental knowledge means that you've learned a subject in a classical way, in the right order, with no gaps. For example , if you learn fundamentally about organic chemistry, you 1. learn the topics in the classical sequence:  alkanes, alkenes, alkynes; and then add functional groups: alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, ethers, esters, amines, amides, proteins, and sugars. 2. understand the main concepts: nucleophile, electrophile, dative bond, Lewis structure, VSEPR Valence shell electron pair repulsion, etc. With fundamental knowledge you have a good foundation to build on, and you can understand specialists, have a common language with the scientists. Here are a few of excellent channels to explore and build Your knowledge fundamentally on each topic: 1 - Organic chemistry - 30 videos sequence, free Organic Chemistry Exam 1 Review - YouTube 2 - General Chemistry - all the elements in the periodic table by groups: Periodic Table Part 2: Alkali Metals (Li, Na, ...
