Abstract
As many undergraduates in the Faculty of Science know, the unit on buffer systems in first year chemistry is one of the toughest parts of the course. However, despite this difficulty being commonly seen, there is still a large gap in the literature on the teaching and learning of buffer systems^1. Due to the gap in literature about teaching buffer systems, this undergraduate research project built upon the work of Orgiland Sutherland^2 and looked to determine if there really is a statistical backing to the claims of difficulty with buffer systems, determine why such a difficulty exists, and attempt to address the observed issues through the implementation of a learning simulation.
