Post 16 chemistry subject knowledge enhancement: redox RX076

Develop your subject knowledge of post 16 chemistry, focusing on the topic of redox reactions


Summary

Develop the background subject knowledge required to help planning and teaching chemistry for key stage 5. This course will help you to prepare for teaching the topic of redox reactions and will focus on the subject knowledge needed to teach the content. You will explore ways of building student understanding, taking into account misconceptions and common issues in teaching key concepts. Primarily aimed at A-Level, this course also supports this topic area within other Level 3 science qualifications.

Outcomes

1. Enhance your subject knowledge of the following concepts:

  • oxidation states
  • writing and completing half equations
  • practical approaches to redox
  • standard electrode potentials
  • using the electrochemical series
  • types of batteries and cells
  • applications of redox: battteries and cells
  • the halogens & titrations

2. Gain insight into teaching approaches and applications that could be used for these topics

3. Identify resources that can be used to support the teaching of these topics
