One of the main points of our discussion was how to use this section to revise other parts of chemistry. It was an eye opening experience to see how all of these sections come together to do something useful. Marissa said there was a danger that teachers could leave out this section, but urged them to use it as a method of revision and application of their knowledge.
Marissa's slides are quite comprehensive, so let's take a look at them:
