About Laboratory Skills and Safety
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This unit sits in the Foundations of Chemistry strand of Chemistry. It pulls together the practical side of the subject: knowing your equipment, working safely, taking careful measurements and describing experiments clearly. Most of the material was made for secondary courses, with a small share for university and professional study.
Start with equipment and hazards
Begin with the flashcard decks Laboratory Tools and Laboratory Apparatus. They pair each piece of kit with its job, such as the beaker for mixing and rough volume measurement, the thermometer for temperature and the Bunsen burner for heating. Then move to Chemistry Hazard Symbols, which covers explosive, corrosive, toxic, oxidising, harmful, flammable and irritant warnings, among others.
- Check yourself with the quiz HEAT SOURCES AND FLAMES, which asks how heat differs from a flame and what separates a luminous flame from a non-luminous one.
- Look through the lab safety mind maps to see precautions grouped on one page.
Move on to technique and measurement
The deck Practical and investigative skills lists separation methods such as filtration, distillation, fractional distillation, crystallisation and the separating funnel. Next, the notes Error and % error show how to work out error and percentage error from a measured and an actual value. There are also several notes and a quiz on significant figures, plus resources on titrations, standard solutions and serial dilution.
Prepare for practical assessment
For A-level work, the slide set Required Practicals - AQA A Level Chemistry explains that Paper 3 can assess any content and any practical skills. The deck Chemistry Core Practicals prompts you to name safety precautions, draw the equipment, describe the procedure and sketch the graph. The mind map Chemistry ATP covers common variables such as concentration, volume, surface area, mass and temperature.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see the shape of a topic. Then take a quiz and note the questions you missed. Go back to the matching flashcards or notes and try again. Teachers can set a deck or quiz as a quick starter or revision task.
Choose one practical you find hardest and work through it from equipment to results.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this page?
Start with the flashcard decks Laboratory Tools and Chemistry Hazard Symbols. They cover the equipment and warning signs that every practical relies on. Then try a safety or apparatus quiz to see what stuck, and move on to techniques such as titration and separation once the basics feel familiar.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Most of the resources are at secondary level, and the ones that name exams mention GCSE Chemistry, IGCSE Chemistry, A-level Chemistry, CIE A-level Chemistry and IB. A small share is aimed at university students, so check each resource's title and content to see whether it matches your course.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover hazard symbols, lab safety, lab equipment, titrations, separating mixtures, determining melting and boiling points, and measurements and errors. There are also revision maps for IGCSE Chemistry and a map called Chemistry ATP that sets out precautions and common variables in practicals.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Is there anything for practical exam preparation?
Yes. The slide set Required Practicals - AQA A Level Chemistry outlines how Paper 3 assesses practical skills, and Chemistry Core Practicals works through the molar volume of a gas. You will also find a quiz on measuring an enthalpy change and a set of OCR B practical questions.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Browse the related notes, flashcards and mind maps on this page first, since many topics appear in more than one format. If something is still missing, you can build your own flashcards, mind map or quiz on the topic and use it for revision.
