Traditional petroleum resources will gradually be replaced by sustainable resources derived from nature including trees, plants and food and biorefinery wastes. Calculations in AS and A Level Chemistry fills a gap in the market and provides excellent coverage of the calculations needed at A Level. Provides free access to an ActiveBook, a digital version of the Student Book, which can be accessed online, anytime, anywhere supporting learning beyond the classroom.

Speeding down the steep slopes of soft sand at Crantock on a Christmas day must have been thrilling, at first. When I first met Pete, my technician, I soon realised he was a veteran of Truro School, and having worked there for many years, he had worked with quite a few chemistry teachers in his time. Jim was dedicated to making sure he taught as truly factual chemistry as possible, whilst also making it enjoyable.What they will be left with are practical skills in handling fragile equipment and potentially dangerous materials including household things like bleach, oven cleaner, paint stripper and weedkiller.

He also enjoyed walking many long-distance footpaths in the Peak and Lake Districts, the Dales and South West Coast Path. In those days, as well as A-Levels there were harder S-Level papers available, and most years you might have two or three chemistry students doing S-Level exams.If you want to suggest a page or site that I might like to link to on Chemguide's links page, please read this page first. The last year of 11+ (which uniquely included some 10+ students as well that year – my son, Paul was one) generated one of the best years ever.

More will need chemistry for medicine or biology, but the majority will forget all the chemistry they ever knew soon after leaving. At one stage our excellent lab technician, Pete Seymour (still a lab technician at Truro School), decided he was bored with his white lab coat and tie-dyed it a sort of green-blue colour (I hesitate here, because my wife and I rarely agree on where something is on the spectrum around turquoise). Thank you Jim: and if you ever fancy popping in for a coffee with Pete and myself, you would be most warmly welcomed, and our students of course would be completely star struck! There is nothing remotely interesting in any of this, and it feels a little like writing my own obituary. Jim was a superb teacher of chemistry, a quiet authority in the classroom and laboratory, commanding respect from students and staff alike.

The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. We are investigating a range of green chemical technologies and their application to major chemical challenges. Chatting over our usual morning coffee one day, he casually revealed that Jim Clark had once been Head of Chemistry at Truro School. Beware that this book is no longer appropriate for Edexcel International GCSE examinations from 2011 onwards, and has been out of print for some time. Pearson progression tools allows quick and easy formative assessment of student progress, linked to guidance on how to personalise learning solutions.

Chemguide is designed as a tool to assist 16–18-year-old chemistry students and is estimated to be used by almost every A-Level chemistry student in the UK, with around 1. You will often find comments suggesting that you should refer to your syllabus or to recent exam papers.
