🧪 QotW: Energy Profiles & Catalysts (Unit 3)

This VCAA exam question looks straightforward… but it’s where a lot of students lose marks.

Common issues include:
✅ Incorrect drawing energy profile diagrams
✅ Confusing ΔH with activation energy
✅ Inaccurate graphing - poor reading of axes and vertical scale
✅ Weak explanations linking catalysts to collision theory

Great for a quick revision check

🧪 Short Tutorial – Dispersion Forces (Units 1–4)

Intermolecular forces are often misunderstood, and dispersion forces add another layer of complexity — especially when comparing properties of different molecules and functional groups.

🧪 QotW: Hydrogen Fuel Cells (Unit 3)

This question looks straightforward…

…but most students lose marks by:

❌ Confusing anode and cathode polarity
❌ Getting the cathode half-equation wrong
❌ Misunderstanding fuel cell advantages and limitations

🧪 Short Tutorial – Dipole–Dipole Forces (Units 1–4)

Sometimes it’s the simple concepts that hold students back in chemistry.

Understanding how covalent molecules attract one another underpins topics like boiling points, intermolecular forces, and organic chemistry.

I made a short 2-minute explanation for my classes this week.

Free to access, and feel free to share it with your students.

STAV Conference 2026 was full-on in the best way.

Between the VolkScience stand and the Beginning Teachers Toolbox session, it was non-stop conversations all day. I barely sat down.

So good to meet so many early-career teachers who are serious about getting their structure right from the start. The appetite for clear teaching sequences and practical classroom tools is strong.

A great group joined the VolkScience community yesterday, and more are coming on board this week.

If we didn’t get a proper chance to chat, feel free to email me directly. Always happy to keep the conversation going.

Big energy. Big year ahead.

🧪 QotW: Fuel Cells Revision (Unit 3)

Fuel cells are one of the trickier topics in exams.

This QotW breaks it down and covers:

✅ How hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity
✅ The redox reactions behind it
✅ How to tackle exam-style questions
