Problem Solving in Chemistry

Some years ago, AUS-e-TUTE added a "how to solve problems in chemistry" page.
We call this approach to problem solving the StoPGoPS method:

1. Stop: State the question.
2. Pause: Prepare a plan of how you will solve the problem'
3. Go! Follow the steps in your plan.
4. Pause: Ponder the plausibility of your answer. (Have you answered the question you were asked? Does the answer look "about right"?
5. Stop: State your solution (if your answer seems plausible) or Start again (if your answer doesn't look right)

Well, we have now added a Template that students can use to help guide them through the Problem Solving Process. You can download this "Template for Problem Solving" pdf at ausetute.com.au for free.
