Problem-solving is one of the most challenging aspects students encounter in general chemistry courses, leading to frustration and failure. Consequently, many students become less motivated to take additional chemistry courses after the first year. This book tackles this issue head on and provides innovative, intuitive, and systematic strategies to tackle any type of calculations encountered in chemistry. The material begins with the basic theories, equations, and concepts of the underlying chemistry, followed by worked examples with carefully explained step-by-step solutions to showcase the ways in which the problems can be presented. The second edition contains additional problems at the end of each chapter with varying degrees of difficulty, and many of the original examples have been revised.

Mae'r pynciau yn y llyfr hwn yn helpu disgyblion i ddeall nodweddion defnyddiau drwy ymchwiliad. Maent yn atgyfnerthu dulliau ymchwil gwyddonol trwy fynnu bod disgyblion yn cynllunio ac yn gwneud gweithgareddau ymarferol, ystyried tystiolaeth, a chyfl wyno syniadau a chasgliadau. Mae nhw'n canolbwyntio ar greu grwpiau a dosbarthu defnyddiau, newid defnyddiau a gwahanu cymysgedd o ddefnyddiau, ond mae hefyd yn cynnwys cysyniadau eraill fel grymoedd, gwres a magneteg yng nghyswllt deall nodweddion defnyddiau. The topics in this book help pupils understand the properties of materials through investigation. They reinforce methods of scientific enquiry by requiring pupils to plan, carry out practical activities, consider evidence, and present ideas and conclusions. They focus on grouping and classifying materials, changing materials, and separating mixtures of materials, but other concepts such as forces, heat and magnetism are also included within the context of understanding the properties of materials. The three books in the Brilliant Support Activities Science series are an ideal way of introducing scientific terms in Welsh. The books are designed to develop the essential skills of observation, predicting, recording and drawing conclusions. The books contain a mixture of paper-based tasks and 'hands on' activities. The reproducible worksheets introduce one concept or statement per sheet (unless they are review sheets), and they can be used in any order. They are designed for use by individual pupils or to be used as a class activity if all the class are working at the same ability range.

In Professor Povey's Perplexing Problems, Thomas Povey shares 109 of his favourite problems in physics and maths. A tour de force of imagination and exposition, he takes us by the hand and guides us through uncompromisingly challenging territory that expands our minds and encourages a playful and exploratory approach to study. The puzzles, he says, are like toys. We should pick up the one we most enjoy, and play with it. Whether you are an aspiring scientist or an old-hand, pitting yourself against these problems will test your ability to think, and inspire you with curiosity and enthusiasm for physics. Presented with charm and wit, the questions span the gap between high-school and university-entrance standard material. Detailed answers are lightened with a fascinating and refreshing blend of scientific history, application and personal anecdote. On this delightful and idiosyncratic romp through pre-university maths and physics, the author shows us that behind every single one of these questions lies a new way of thinking about subjects we thought we had understood. He argues that engaging with the unfamiliar is key to forming deeper insights and developing intellectual independence. Professor Povey's Perplexing Problems is a manifesto that science should be playful, and a celebration of the curious.
