If
you want to use all of the topics from the CD-ROM, we recommend
that students firstly study all the Foundation topics in
each section in order (beginning with 'Melting
and Freezing' and finishing with 'Chemical
Change '). After that, they could study any of the Advanced
sections: the topics in Substances
and Mixtures
of Substances could be taken in any order; the
topics in Changing
Substances are best done in the order shown.
You can use the resources as they are with a group of students,
and there are further suggestions for teaching approaches
in the teachers’ guide.
You can also access the collection of images, animations
and video clips, so that you can use these as you wish in
your own Word or PowerPoint presentations or using the additional
interactivity provided by an interactive whiteboard. You
may also wish to adapt the material so that is suitable
for use by individual students working independently.
By itself, it is unlikely that Stuff
& Substance would be sufficient to teach students
the ideas: you will still need to provide the full range
of normal teaching activities, including first hand experience
of phenomena, live demonstrations and, most importantly,
group and class discussion of ideas.
