Every job needs the correct tool and studying science is no different! I use a range of printable paper during the tutorials which are in the links below.
General stationery My favourite general everyday paper is dotgrid paper - it is great for drawing circuit diagrams, apparatus, reaction mechanisms and bullet-point notes. Graph paper is another one worth having in your folders for plotting graphs. Print this at home when you need some rather than have the inconvenience of taking a trip to buy a ream or pack of graph paper.
How to unpack what you know and answer the question Students sometimes tell me they know the material but still can’t answer certain types of questions. They often say that they can’t apply the Chemistry they know because they either don’t know where to begin or because there are many potential answers. Open ended questions and unstructured questions pose particular problems because they often have many arguments and ideas that need to be considered.
