The Investigations Folio for Stage 2 Chemistry must include practicals where students design and safely carry out investigations, and develop and extend their science inquiry skills by deconstructing the parts of a problem to determine the most appropriate method for investigation.
This workshop will explore the requirements of the practical investigations component of the course. In the afternoon teachers will complete an exemplar practical in the laboratory. At each stage of the day, teachers will be given guidance and resources to help them implement and asses this aspect of the Investigations Folio task.
