Chemistry

In Chemistry, pupils are currently working their way through the 'Nature's Chemistry' unit.
Topics in this unit include:

• Fossil fuel formation and extraction

• Fractional distillation

• Combustion

• Pollution

• Alternative energy

• Hydrocarbons

• Plastics

For those of you studying Chemistry in S4, it cannot be stressed strongly enough the importance of engaging with the work given to you by your teacher. The knowledge and skills gained by studying the above topics will make the transition into National 5 Chemistry much smoother – the more work you do now, the easier it will be for you to understand and keep up with the work in S4.

All the important information you need for these topics can be found on the PowerPoints that your teacher will add to the 'Files' section of your Chemistry Team.

If you want some extra work, there are homework exercises that can also be completed - ask your teacher for the best way that they can mark your efforts.

If you have problems accessing any of the files in Teams, (this is a problem when the system is busy), ask your teacher to e-mail you the files directly to your e-mail address.

There will loads of suitable videos to help explain the learning outcomes for the units of work to be found on YouTube.

A very useful website to help you is BBC Bitesize – the link is below.
