That will give you the full contents list and the index, the first 6 pages of Chapter 1, and all the answers to the problems in the book - including the fully worked answers.

This started with A-Level groups and then moved down to GCSE groups and even occasionally to a third form group. I was born, brought up and went to school in Falmouth, went to Cambridge followed by teacher training, and then taught chemistry at several schools before ending up in Truro in 1974.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.

Occasionally a senior member of staff would show parents and potential students around the school, and they would be ushered into the lab with me in my pink lab coat, music playing, and everyone absorbed in the music and what they were doing. Each type of calculation is introduced in a very gentle way, making no great assumptions about your chemistry knowledge or maths ability. 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 are relatively few calculations on this site, but you might be interested in my chemistry calculations book.Jim was a superb teacher of chemistry, a quiet authority in the classroom and laboratory, commanding respect from students and staff alike. Often frustrated by the many inaccuracies, poor descriptions, incorrect data, out of date, missing or unverifiable ‘facts’ and many confusing or poorly laid out, chemistry textbooks, he set his mind to improve this situation. In fact it is now being used by people on equivalent (16 to 18 year old) courses worldwide and by students at the beginning of university level courses. However, a bump at the base of the dune was enough for the sledge to become airborne for a brief moment before landing on the damp, compact, concrete-hard sand of the beach. At school level, chemistry is, above anything else, a practical subject and a potentially dangerous practical subject at that.

Calculations in A Level Chemistry guides your students through the various types of calculations which they will encounter during their AS/A level course in a clear and simple way. At the end of each section there is a set of problems for you to do, based firmly on what has gone before. Uses simple language to clearly explain the basic principles *Guides students through each exercise with help and hint boxes as they gradually progress through the text *Covers variants of each type of calculation "Calculations in AS and A Level Chemistry fills a gap in the market and provides excellent coverage of the calculations needed at A Level. Chamber music worked best because it is clearer; large orchestral pieces echoing around in a big lab just sound ‘muddy’.Now I proudly tell every new A-Level cohort about Jim Clark and his Truro School legacy, and year on year, my students use ‘Chemguide’ to develop and enhance their chemical knowledge. There are then lots of worked examples, gradually getting more difficult and showing as many variations on a calculation as possible. Tony Harris' artwork credits include Starman, Aquaman, Iron Man, JSA, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and Daredevil. Suitable for use with all AS and A Level specifications, it helps students to understand mathematical concepts specific to AS and A Level Chemistry.

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. I need the income from sales of my books both to live and to subsidise the running costs of this site. 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.You mightn’t expect this to appeal to teenagers, but it did, and if I forgot to put it on, they invariably reminded me. If you are working in another examination system, you still need to know exactly what is expected of you, but will have to find that information for yourself.
