NCEA Chemistry can be a hard topic to understand at the best of times. Most of the topics force you to try and imagine molecules too small to see. 

It can be enough of a challenge trying to interpret your teacher’s scribbled whiteboard diagrams. Even worse is trying to understand the information when you are stuck trying to learn NCEA Chemistry without your teacher there to answer your questions as they come up. 

Have self-isolation, lockdowns, or a teacher you just don’t click with, left you trying to memorise thousands of facts in an attempt to get NCEA Chemistry to make sense? 

Then The Online Chemistry Classroom Workbook is for you. It makes it easier than ever to learn NCEA Chemistry when you want, where you like, as often as you need.

The Online NCEA Chemistry Workbooks

There is a workbook for every NCEA Chemistry external. These interactive workbooks can be used on any device that lets you view and edit PDFs - including your phone!! You don’t have to carry around a heavy textbook and you’ll never forget it because you always have your phone on you!

Please download the sample pages to check whether your phone lets you edit these fillable PDF's before you purchase. If not, you can download a PDF editor from the Google Play/App store or use the notes/pages app on your phone to answer the activities.

Every online workbook is broken down into the key points that make up the external Achievement Standard. These key points are introduced in the same order I teach them in class, so that you are always building on your understanding of the topics.

For every key point there are:

🧪Essential notes and videos so you can choose how you learn.

🧪Learning activities to help you develop your understanding. 

These can be completed on your device or printed out if you prefer writing 

🧪Answers to the learning activities so you can check your understanding

The workbook also includes:

🌡All of the key words and their definitions

🌡A breakdown of the external into the three main topics and the learning outcomes you need to know to pass your exam

🌡Revision activities so you can be confident you are studying the stuff most likely to come up in your exam

ABOUT AIMEE ELLIOT

Kia ora! If we haven’t met, I am Aimee Elliot, a chemistry teacher in New Zealand.

Why I created The Online NCEA Chemistry Workbooks

Working as both a chemistry teacher and a chemistry tutor, I have seen the benefits and disadvantages of both. 

The teaching of each Achievement Standard is structured in a classroom, and all content is covered. Tutoring is often used to ‘plug gaps’ that you're aware of, meaning there can still be missing pieces. This can make it hard to truly understand the topic, and your results can suffer if the ‘missing pieces’ are tested in the exam.

Specialist chemistry teachers can be hard for schools to find so you're often left learning from a teacher who does not have a deep understanding of the subject.

Classrooms can have up to 32 students in them, sometimes more. That gives the teacher less than two minutes of time with each student, assuming they don’t spend any time actually teaching! A chemistry tutor gives you the time you need with a chemistry expert, to ask questions and understand each topic. 

But, in both cases, once the lesson is over it cannot be repeated. You must rely on your notes and these can be hard to interpret when revising the lesson months later.

The Online NCEA Chemistry Workbooks came from my desire to help all students understand and love chemistry no matter where in NZ they live.

I am passionate about NCEA Chemistry and all of the career opportunities that come from learning it. 

My Qualifications and Experience

I studied Genetics and Biochemistry at Massey University. In 2011, I completed my Bachelor of Science and went on to gain my Post Graduate Diploma in Secondary Teaching, after working in a Biochemistry Laboratory for the summer. I first started teaching Chemistry at a college in Palmerston North, before moving to the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

Over the past seven years, I have

• been the teacher in charge of chemistry 
• worked with the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry writing practice exams for schools throughout New Zealand  
• held two roles as an NZQA contractor
  
  

I have a thorough understanding of both the NCEA chemistry curriculum and the types of questions that are used in NCEA exams. I know exactly what examiners are looking for and I have used my knowledge and experience to ensure these workbooks will include everything you need to prepare for your exams.
