GCSE Chemistry Revision "Balancing Chemical Equations"

In this video, we tackle the one topic that students always dread: balancing chemical equations. Well don't panic because I'll show you a method that always works and give you some examples to try yourself. Also, I'll show you what a typical exam question looks like and you'll see that it really isn't that hard.

[@ijc4870]

Before watching this video, I only had very little knowledge on how to balance chemical equation. Whereas, after watching this video, I managed to understand it completely. I am a GCSE student(2020 exam year). My teacher last year played your videos in class every once in a while and my friends found you helpful. They watched your videos to revise and it helped them very much. They managed to get me to watch your videos and I also find you very helpful so i will watch your videos until i sit all my science exams and hopefully get what I want in them. Wish me luck!
