This workbook is designed with two main focuses:
Conceptual focus: To guide learners to understand stoichiometric concepts at submicroscopic, macroscopic and symbolic levels
Calculation focus: To guide learners to solve stoichiometry questions, largely using the unit factor method
Some features of these workbooks:
thinking, understanding, use of proportion, calculation competence and terminology-acquisition are focused on.
their systematic, guided and consistent colour-coded structure is intended to guide learning even if a teacher or other resources are absent by: (1) giving worked examples, then (2) providing guided practise, then (3) removing support to develop independent competence.
the interactive PDFs have links to movies on each topic at the appropriate places. For these to work, internet access is required.
The workbooks (and memos) come in 3 formats. All are full-colour:
paper
laminated (allows for write with a white-board marker, and wipe, for reusability)
interactive pdf (single license, non-printable, password secured): For some fields options are given in drop-down lists. Works on any device (cell phone / tablet / computer). Works offline, but links to external resources require internet connectivity.
