About the role
The chemistry teacher interview combines subject accuracy with safe, purposeful practical work. The panel will assess whether you can link visible changes to particles and equations, manage laboratory hazards and use questions that expose misconceptions rather than reward memorised procedures alone.
How to prepare
- Revise explanations that connect observations, particles, formulae and balanced equations.
- Plan an investigation using modest quantities and commonly available apparatus.
- Review how you would stop work and respond to spills, breakages or unsafe behaviour.
- Prepare questions that distinguish calculation errors from conceptual misunderstandings.
- Practise explaining one abstract chemistry idea with a simple model and its limitations.
Common mistakes
- Describing an exciting experiment without stating its learning purpose.
- Giving vague safety advice instead of naming hazards and controls.
- Treating coefficients and subscripts as interchangeable.
- Using a model without explaining where it stops being accurate.
