Back to teaching

Well it has been a busy summer preparing new materials for my courses and trying to think of new ways to make the classes more interactive and fun

Monday and Tuesday I am teaching the first of my basic chemistry classes.

In the first session we will be talking about different ways of categorising things

Such as

• Solids
• Liquids
• Gasses

and

• Compounds
• Mixtures
• Solutions
• Colloids
• Emulsions

On my shopping list to take into my first class I have

salt
sand
baking powder
balloons
The cardboard middle of a toilet roll
Andrews Liver Salts
vinegar
water
milk

If it does well I may show you some pictures!
