Fascinated by counting how many drips of one liquid have to be mixed in another before the mixture changes colour? Realised that sneezing on a petri dish is a dream come true? Coming soon, support for the lesser sciences!
I’ll help you with complex tasks such as memorising a list of pseudo-Latin words that closely resemble what you’d hear in a Hogwarts classroom. All the excitement of matching the colour of a liquid to a chart to work out what the pH is, or if that is too exciting, use a pH meter to take all the skill out of the task. Is there anything more enjoyable than listening to a biologist talk about ‘action potential‘ with no idea what potential actually is?
From counting drips to counting cells to counting bubbles to counting dandelions in a field – there’s no end to the counting that can be done in the lesser sciences! If you need support with such a task, soon you’ll be able to get it right here!
I can help you bury your head in the sand and entirely ignore energy-mass equivalence so you can happily calculate the missing numbers in chemical reactions. I can help you simplify genetic inheritance to a simple matching activity for dominant and recessive alleles, even though inheritance is much more complex than that. I can help simplify photosynthesis to single chemical reaction that you’ll have to unlearn later in your career because it’s simplified to the point of absurdity. But hey, it gets you grades right? And that’s all that matters, right? Right?
I can help you plot graphs with little value, where the x-axis is always the independent variable and dot-to-dots are essential.
Want to do some maths in biology? Sure, let’s look at magnification of microscopes (which is actually physics), or… erm… no, that’s about it for biology, unless you count the KS2 skill of computing means, medians and modes. Oh, and there’s y=mx+c, but we do that properly in physics.
Want to do some maths in chemistry? Sure, let’s look at converting number of molecules into number of moles (which we do properly in physics), percentage yield (also known as efficiency, kind of, which we do properly in physics), reaction rates (dividing by time. Yep, that’s it), some Rf from chromatography (lol). Any graphs again, but again, we do that properly in physics. Wait, they don’t even do gas laws properly? Wow.
We can use techniques such as look, cover, write, check to memorise the key words needed for success, because that’s pretty much all these lesser sciences test you on. Oh, and adding up basic numbers (like we do in nuclear physics).
Stay tuned for further developments. Biology with Keith and Chemistry with Keith. Coming soon! Click here for more details later today.
Easter Revision Sessions
The Easter Revision sessions were very popular last year, so I am running them again. These are perfect for students who are sitting their GCSE or A-Level examinations this summer.
The GCSE Easter revision session is today at 9am. For details, see here.
The A-Level Easter revision session is tomorrow at 9am. For details, see here.
