Organic Chemistry Stereochemistry	Active Learning Student Participation	Small Group Worksheets	Use small group student-centred interaction using structured work sheets that logically develop students' conceptual understanding. It’s a learning cycle approach.
Organic Chemistry Organic Structure and Bonding	Content Structure Real World Applications	Link to Real World Outcomes	In organic chemistry for anything that's structure-based it’s imperative that they understand molecules are three dimensional - that they have a spatial requirement. And you can talk about the actual real-world outcomes of that, like drug design and penicillin structure and things which might be... more
Organic Chemistry Organic Structure and Bonding	Content Structure Focus on Fundamentals Mode of Delivery Reinforcement and Repetition	Re-Iterate Line Structures	Make sure that you reiterate things like line structures and don't incorporate any stereo-chemical information until you need that.
Organic Chemistry Organic Structure and Bonding	Active Learning Practice Problems Technology Other Technology	Visualiser	Use the visualiser for problems.
General Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Organic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Intermolecular Forces Analytical Chemistry	Content Structure Big Picture Focus	Put Material into Context	You can liken teaching chemistry to hacking your way through a forest. It’s a lot of detail, and you can’t expect students to do the hard work of fighting their way through the forest or the jungle, unless they have a global view of where they’re going. Keep going back to applications in the... more
