S3 Content Mastery Course
Become Great At Tackling Chemistry Questions
What Your Child Will Learn
During this 4-day content-packed S3 CCI™ Chemistry Course (Stoichiometry & Acids, Bases, Salts), we’ll work closely with your child to improve on his/her mastery of the subject matter:
🧱 Understand Key Chemistry Concepts In The Secondary 3 Syllabus
We’ll help to break down complex Chemistry concepts using coloured illustrations, comparison charts and worked examples.
Next, we’ll help your child relate these concepts with different scenarios so that he/she is better able to understand how these concepts work.
In order to help him/her retain information better, we will also introduce memory retention techniques, such as acronyms and abbreviations. As your child is expected to digest more content in upper secondary school, it will benefit him/her greatly to be able to recall key information easily.
We will also teach your child how to interpret graphs effectively and solve questions using Math.
🎯 Gain Exposure To Various Question Trends & Question Types
Our S3 CCI™ Chemistry Course (Stoichiometry & Acids, Bases, Salts) is all about understanding various examination question trends and question types & how to apply our tested and proven answering techniques to tackle these questions.
Knowing how questions may possibly be tested during examinations helps your child understand what to study and how to study. This also means that your child will be better equipped to tackle similar questions during his/her examinations and hence will be able to process these questions a lot faster than his/her peers.
If your child diligently reviews and applies what we’ve taught, he/she will definitely make progress in their abilities to tackle Chemistry questions.
🚀 Proven ‘Copy and Paste’ Answering Structures, Keywords & Key Phrases
Your child will NOT leave this workshop empty-handed.
Not only will our Chemistry Specialists take your child through the step-by-step process of tackling Chemistry questions, we’ll also provide your child with beautifully-illustrated notes and worksheets that are designed to help students learn Chemistry easier, better and faster.
These valuable resources will help to shorten the learning curve tremendously. You and your child can expect to save lots of valuable time and frustration trying to figure out what examination setters are looking out for.
💣 Avoid ‘Concept Traps’ That Cause Most Students To Lose Marks Unnecessarily
It is important to have an understanding of the common conceptual pitfalls so that your child can learn to avoid them. We also included little ‘warning notes’ to remind students of potential misconceptions in their syllabus.

- Describe neutrality and relative acidity and alkalinity, in terms of
- relative hydrogen and hydroxide ion concentrations,
- colour in Universal Indicator, and
- the pH scale
- Describe qualitatively the difference between strong and weak acids in terms of the extent of ionisation.
- Describe the characteristic properties of acids as in reactions with metals, bases and carbonates to form salts.
- Describe the reaction between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions to produce water as neutralisation.
- Describe the importance of controlling the pH in soils and how excess acidity can be treated using calcium hydroxide.
- Describe the characteristic properties of bases in reactions with acids and with ammonium salts.
- Classify oxides as acidic, basic, amphoteric or neutral based on metallic/non-metallic character.
Session 2
⚗️ Topic: Acids, Bases & Salts (Part 2)
- Describe the techniques used in the preparation, separation and purification of salts (methods for preparation should include precipitation and titration together with reactions of acids with metals, insoluble bases and insoluble carbonates).
- Describe the general rules of solubility for common salts to include nitrates, chlorides (including those of silver and lead), sulfates (including those of barium, calcium and lead), carbonates, hydroxides, salts of Group 1 cations and ammonium salts.
- Suggest a method of preparing a given salt from suitable starting materials, given appropriate information.
Session 3
⚖️ Topic: Stoichiometry & Mole Concept
- Define relative atomic mass, Ar.
- Define relative molecular mass, Mr, and calculate relative molecular mass (and relative formula mass) as the sum of relative atomic masses.
- Define the term mole in terms of the Avogadro’s constant.
- Calculate the percentage mass of an element in a compound when given appropriate information.
- Calculate empirical and molecular formulae from relevant data.
- Calculate stoichiometric reacting masses and volumes of gases (one mole of gas occupies 24 dm3 at room temperature and pressure); calculations involving the idea of limiting reactants may be set.
- Apply the concept of solution concentration (in mol/dm3 or g/dm3) to process the results of volumetric experiments (e.g. titration) and to solve simple problems.
- Calculate % yield and % purity.
Session 4
🔎 Topic: Qualitative Analysis
- Describe the use of aqueous sodium hydroxide and/or aqueous ammonia to identify the following aqueous cations through the formation of precipitates (if any) and their subsequent solubility: aluminium, ammonium (together with evolution of ammonia gas upon warming), calcium, copper(II), iron(II), iron(III) and zinc.
- Describe tests to identify the following anions: carbonate (by the addition of dilute acid and subsequent use of limewater); chloride (by reaction of an aqueous solution with nitric acid and aqueous silver nitrate); iodide (by reaction of an aqueous solution with nitric acid and aqueous silver nitrate); nitrate (by reduction with aluminium in aqueous sodium hydroxide to ammonia and subsequent use of damp red litmus paper) and sulfate (by reaction of an aqueous solution with nitric acid and aqueous barium nitrate).
- Describe tests to identify the following gases: ammonia (using damp red litmus paper); carbon dioxide (using limewater); chlorine (using damp litmus paper); hydrogen (using a burning splint); oxygen (using a glowing splint) and sulfur dioxide (using acidified potassium manganate(VII)).

In case you’re wondering…
This is NOT one of those enrichment programs where students gain loads of theories and do nothing with them afterwards! As your child will get to apply whatever they’ve learned directly on school examination questions during the course … by the time your child has completed the course, he/ she will be trained on how to tackle his/ her school homework & school examination papers accurately & efficiently. Not a month later… or even a week later, but immediately! During the S3 CCI™ Chemistry (Stoichiometry & Acids, Bases, Salts) course, we’ll be revealing some massively potent studying strategies used by our top-performing students. These strategies have helped them save hours studying every day and yet allow them to score A1s during their school examinations time & time again!
So… if you are looking for:
1) A highly robust methodology to sharpen your child’s Chemistry answering techniques, especially in their open-ended section (… such that he/she no longer loses marks unnecessarily due to missing links, key words or key phrases) 2) An engaging teacher with a strong proven track record (… trust me: teachers make or break the learning experience for students. Set them up with the right teacher & they’ll enjoy the learning process for life) 3) A comprehensive set of visually-appealing revision materials that high-performing students use to excel in their examinations (… you’d want your child to get his/her hands on these materials & start revising now. The best part: Your child doesn’t have to spend countless of hours trying to study, because we’ve distilled the most important parts to take note!) … then this course may just be perfect for your child.
Now, let’s be real. Is this going to be easy?
There is ALWAYS going to be a bit of discomfort, uncertainty and plenty of hard work when your child is trying to learn and apply our answering structures to tackle examination questions. That is normal & many of our students go through the same process all the time. Once your child pushes past that discomfort, that’s when you will notice real growth in his/her learning. It will not be a walk in the park, but we have plenty of materials & close guidance to help your child improve his/her answering techniques! We’ll see your child at the workshop!
