Welcome to LC Chemistry: Running the Chemistry in Practice Investigation. This short course has six lessons of about 25 minutes. You know your chemistry; this course is about running the investigation with a whole class, from the brief to the signed Authentication Form P.2.

In this first lesson you rate your confidence, see how the investigation runs this year, and study a class planner built back from the completion date. Then you note your class's next date. Your survey, reflections and plan across the six lessons compile into a downloadable Professional Learning Portfolio when you finish.

Before the presentation, rate your confidence on the five areas this course develops. There are no right answers. You will rate the same five statements at the end of the course, so you can compare each rating with your first.

Watch this presentation on the Chemistry in Practice Investigation as it runs now: the two assessment components, the 2027 brief and its completion date, the six stages and their hours, and planning back from the completion date.

Study this class planner, filled in for an invented sixth-year class working to the 2027 brief and planned back from the completion date. Read the notes on each choice.
