	Key Concepts in Chemistry G GIVE YOUR PUPILS A HEAD START AND GET AN INSTANT REACTION!


	There are fundamental concepts that permeate all the modules in the study of chemistry and GCSE science. These central ideas form a vital foundation for the GCSE courses of all the examining boards..

Virtual Image has developed a state-of-the-art program that will enable you to teach these fundamental principles on an interactive white board. The software includes all the basic chemical concepts that your pupils require and will provide them with a thorough grounding in the subject. The software provides objective-led lessons with interactive starters and plenaries and can be used within all the chemistry units up to and including GCSE.


	The powerful interface enables lessons to be accessed quickly via a menu-driven navigation system or sequentially like a Powerpoint presentation. The software includes numerous interactive activities and a bank of lesson starters and plenaries. The topics covered are as follows:
