THE KEY TO UNLOCKING CHEMISTRY
Presenter: Miss D. Simpson
STUDYING CHEMISTRY
#1: HOW TO STUDY CHEMISTRYS- Survey
Q- Question
R- Read
N- Notes
A: SURVEY THE CHAPTER
B: QUESTION THE INFORMATION IN THE CHAPTER
WHY?
WHAT?
WHERE?
WHEN?
WHO?
HOW?
C: READ THE TOPIC CAREFULLY!!!
D: TAKE NOTES! Preferably colored notes.
#2: USE CONCEPT REVISION MAPS
Put your notes on one page in the form of a
concept map.
#3: MAKE USE OF FLASHCARDSUse flashcards to study and review
concepts , formulae, definitions or reactions in Chemistry.
Take a blank card On the front write the conceptOn the back write a brief explanation of the
concept.
What is Chemistry?
EXAMPLEFRONT OF CARD BACK OF CARD
The study of the
STRUCTURE and
BEHAVIOUR of MATTER.
#4: HOW TO SOLVE NUMERICAL PROBLEMS
Read given problem VERY CAREFULLY
Identify given units and carry out conversion
Write proper formula and substitute the
value
Simplify
Finally, write the answer with the proper unit
#5: MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A PERIODIC TABLE IN YOUR ROOM
Learn and remember Names, Symbols, Atomic Numbers,
Valences, Oxidation Numbers and Electronic Configurations
of the first 20 elements.
GENERAL STUDY TIPSMake a list of formulae of all the topics and
MEMORIZE them.
Write model answers to in-text questions
and final answers
Practice drawing neat labeled diagrams in a
short time
GENERAL STUDY TIPS contd.In case of Organic Chemistry practice writing
chemical equations along with proper experimental conditions, common and IUPAC names of reactants and products.
Solve ample Multiple Choice Questions from various past papers.
Do not pick and choose what to study.
DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!
REVISE, REVISE, REVISERevision is the MOST IMPORTANT step!!!Do short revisions daily so that you can
MEMORIZE the concepts!
TEST YOURSELF!Test yourself FREQUENTLY to EVALUATE
your performance.
SUMMARY Read textbook and draft colored notesPrepare concept revision mapsSolve significant number of problems/
numericalsPractice ample MCQsDo frequent RevisionsTest yourself for Performance Excellence
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VIEWING!
ALL THE BEST IN YOUR STUDIES!!!!!!!!!
