Welcome and Chemistry class introduction

Dear parents and students.

I hope you had a great summer break.

This is Mr. Koc Secondary science (Chemistry) teacher. I will be teaching G9-12 IGCSE and IB Chemistry.

Starting from the beginning of this new academic year I will be teaching experimental techniques

as the first unit of the year to the 9th graders.

The concepts and practical skills introduced in this unit will be revisited in future topics.

 This unit contains a considerable amount of practical work and introduces a variety of practical techniques that future units will build on. The unit starts by focusing on the variety of purification techniques available to chemists.

These are the core topics that students will learn:

-        Properties of solid liquid gas

-        Changing phases

-        Physical changes and chemical changes

-        Methods of separation

Simple distillation

Fractional distillation

Filtering

Crystallization

Paper chromatography

At the end of this unit, students will have Basic knowledge on particle theory.

I wish you and our students to have a wonderful, fruitful and enjoyable new academic year with full of education.
