In this face-to-face hands-on workshop participants will:

• Learn how to perform a variety of experiments and investigations for the HSC Chemistry syllabus:

-models of equilibrium
- using colorimetry to analyse equilibrium
- back titration
- alcohol reactions
- calculating enthalpy
- precipitation reactions
- gravimetric analysis
- modelling & understanding organic analysis

• Assess the risk for each activity and identify the appropriate safety measures
• Experience first-hand how to use the equipment effectively
• Acquire appropriate and varied pedagogies for experimental Chemistry
• Explore the use of simulations that add value to teaching and learning experiments
• Unpack ‘Working Scientifically’ skills
• Identify varied opportunities for ‘Depth Studies’

This workshop can contribute to 5 hours of ‘Elective PD’ addressing 2.1.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

A Certificate of Completion will be sent to Graduate Teachers for their evidence.

Please note: Lunch will be provided. Please complete dietary requirements question after purchase.
