The organic chemistry topic is always one of my favourites to teach at GCSE. Some ideas to teach the reactions of alkenes, potential misconceptions and how it builds at post-16 ⬇️

[EiC @RSC_EiC]

Students confused by alkenes? @MrDBeech tackles misconceptions and uses practical strategies to transform your alkene lessons, for ages 14-16 ⬇

@BradleyKBusch @Inner_Drive This would be really useful if you get chance 😃

@adamboxer1 Enjoyed this, great title! Sharing this with my science leadership team tomorrow.

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

@PriestleyChem No problem, just replied 👍

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

@PriestleyChem @RSC_EiC @bcamrhesford Thanks, Wendy! Hope you’re doing well. It was a nice article to contribute to and a good example of something that has worked and become fully embedded within the department since @bcamrhesford initially introduced it.

GUESS what @mrdbeech and @bcamrhesford use instead of formula triangles to help students tackle equation-based questions 👇

GUESSing is great! Have a read of @MrDBeech and @bcamrhesford article:

@ChrisHillidge @dylanwiliam I downloaded this before, hopefully will read through it this week. Great that it is open access.

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

@flynn_simon Really like cleanliness of this diagram, always use “amount doesn’t count”

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

Interesting read @ChrisHillidge

Very strong results for English children in TIMSS Y5 and Y9 maths and science assessments - https://t.co/HLxSxF0mdR

@ChrisHillidge @SlpMerseyside @EleanorBelfield @TCATchallenge Looking forward to this, should be really interesting.

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

@ChrisHillidge Just double checking the spec now for what to prioritise revision wise.

🧪Want to engage students with alkenes and organic reactions? @MrDBeech shows us some misconception-busting teaching ideas 👇

@ChrisHillidge Fled to Brussels due to all your edutwitter beef?

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

@CurnowPhysics @bcamrhesford @MrsJBarrowcliff maybe of use 😃

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

@ChrisHillidge Perhaps something like end of Y10 exams (worth 40%), end of Y11 exams (worth 60%) to avoid endless resits. Single exam board - yes! No weird 21st Century Skillz spec and definitely no coursework ever. Just thoughts don’t @ me.

[Dan Beech @MrDBeech]

In the process of writing an article for @RSC_EiC that involves some A-Level Chemistry. It even made me dip back into a textbook that I’m sure most undergraduate chemistry students remember well…and one I haven’t opened for a while 👀
