Regular Users

If you are a regular user of this website, and any of the Resources that I have personally produced, you may like to make a small donation.

CfE New Higher Chemistry

Notes are mainly revamped versions of my own original Higher Notes, designed initially to mesh with a Revised Higher course produced by mainly James Gillespies (Edinburgh). This in turn was based on 'Challenge Chemistry' as produced by R.I.S.E.

Schools, such as ourselves, who purchased 'Challenge Chemistry' probably have the right to use amended versions of their worksheets. However, I cannot presume to have any right to share or distribute these, so will only be posting my own stuff.

Higher Chemistry Final Update

Posted Sat, 20 Mar 2021 14:00:00 GMT by Gordon Watson.

Having retired from KHS in 2018 and on the point of completing ny final teaching job in July 2021, there seemed no point in retaining the old Blog entries.

I will leave these resources 'mothballed' for the forseeable future and will try and remove any 'dead' links.

CfE New Higher Chemistry Update 1

Posted Sat, 31 May 2014 17:06:00 by Gordon Watson/Peter Macklin.

No rest for the wicked. About to start the CfE New Higher on Monday but only recently have we had a chance to start getting organised. Aware that SQA are still finalising exactly what we will need to assess internally, so concentrating on Theory only.

For a Preview, the resources posted last year on the Revised Higher page will give an idea of where we are heading.

Original App Launched Jan 2022

This iOS App would suit students or teachers new to the course.

It includes a full set of AP Chemistry Notes as well as 170+ FlashCards with AP level questions, tips and advice. In addition, there are now 1600+ MC Questions arranged by AP Unit.

Each Question comes with a Hint & Explanation as an aid to undersatnding.

Many of these Questions would be suitable for A-Level, IB , AdvH , OCR etc. but would not cover all the content of these courses.

This will be Physical & Inorganic Chemistry with very little Organic.

New App Launched Jun 2025

This iOS & macOS App could suit students but is aimed more at teachers, tutors and home-schoolers.

This App uses the same bank of 1600+ MCQ but provides the opportunity to select and export questions as PDF Quizzes, Tests, Reviews or Exams.

Multiple Sets with Multiple Versions, chosen indivdually or at random.

Answers & Explanations can also be printed.

Question Banks can be archived and loaded when required.

Unit 4 - Researching Chemistry

Assignment 2015

This year I'm creating a dedicated web page aimed mainly at Vitamin C.

Researching Chemistry 2016

It will, however, have links to various documents and links that would also be relevant to other Topics.


Assignment 2015

Last year I intended doing Antioxidants but ended up concentrating on Vitamin C.

Two of my colleagues produced 20 Starter Questions aimed at Antioxidants.
