Chemistry is a subject that has the power to engage and enthuse
students but also to mystify and confound them. Effective chemistry
teaching requires a strong foundation of subject knowledge and the
ability to transform this into teachable content which is
meaningful for students. Drawing on pedagogical principles and
research into the difficulties that many students have when
studying chemical concepts, this essential text presents the core
ideas of chemistry to support new and trainee chemistry teachers,
including non-specialists. The book focuses on the foundational
ideas that are fundamental to and link topics across the discipline
of chemistry and considers how these often complex notions can be
effectively presented to students without compromising on
scientific authenticity. Chapters cover: the nature of chemistry as
a science the chemistry triplet substances and purity in chemistry
the periodic table energy in chemistry and chemical bonding
contextualising and integrating chemical knowledge Whilst there are
a good many books describing chemistry and many others that offer
general pedagogic guidance on teaching science, Foundations for
Teaching Chemistry provides accounts of core chemical topics from a
teaching perspective and offers new and experienced teachers
support in developing their own 'chemical knowledge for teaching'.
