Make explaining electrochemical cells and calculating potentials simple with number grids

A topic synonymous with misconceptions and confusion at GCSE, and calculation-dense at A-level (and equivalent courses), electrochemical cells can be tricky to teach. Read this article on number grids to learn how to make this abstract concept more concrete. Plus, build your students’ understanding and confidence, giving them a visual method to solve the most complex of problems.
