N5 Chemistry 2016

This is my attempt to walk the fine line between 'supporting' and 'spoon-feeding' pupils involved in researching Bioethanol / Biofuels. This year we have combined this with an Investigation (Outcome 1) involving Enthalpy of Combustions of different alcohols.

The first Video demonstrates a method for doing the Enthalpy of Combustion experiment. The second Video will be used as part of my introduction to the Assignment.

Enthalpy of Combustion

Bioethanol UK


These are a couple of videos to get you started. the second was a Flash Animations that I converted to video. There is no commentary so it can be muted to avoid the annoying clicking.
