The brief for learning aim A was not provided by Pearson, so this was written by me for assignment A of Unit 19. Includes brief template, scenario and all criteria and tasks (ie write a PowerPoint to include… and create a typed document to include…). NOTE -** this resource does not include practical method sheets/instructions.**

A mix of percentage yield questions with hints and structure to help students with their calculations.

Created for A Level Chemistry and suitable for all exam boards. Can also be used on any course that studies benzene and looks at it’s stability compared to that of the Kekule structure.

A ‘fun’ resource to check your student’s learning on redox and oxidation numbers. These domino cards can be printed on card/paper and then laminated (especially if printed on paper). Available in blue and creamy yellow for students with dyslexia.

Questions and answers Designed for AQA A Level Chemistry but can be used for any other course on which students need to understand stereospecificity in enzymes

A resource created to assist teachers and students with delivery of the A2 OCR Chemistry PAGs. A PowerPoint to help you structure the beginning of the PAG lesson on 10.2 thiosulfate and acid. Can easily be amended and used as a template if preferred. Alternatively, this could be given to students as a guideline to assist them with their planning and calculations. Example results and graph for thiosulfate (part 1) included, showing the first order relationship. Possible extension opportunities include monitoring how temperature affects the rate of reaction - an Arrhenius plot could then be done as part of the analysis. Recommended for A-A* students. Gives students a checklist of what needs to be submitted. PowerPoint for PAG 9.3 rates attached also. This one includes OCR past paper questions (and answers) at the end as a plenary.

Suitable for all exam boards.

This contains a (relatively!) exciting PowerPoint lesson around what can be a boring and tedious topic - risk assessments and safety. It includes case studies and scandal, what can happen when we are not aware of the risks involved. This is suitable for any science course at any level I have also included a very short lesson on authority and accountability i.e. academic fraud, this is also suitable for any course at any level. It was initially created for the old BTEC level 3 applied science, but is not specific to this :)

Laboratory design activity that could be used for an after school STEM club, mini science project, summer project or even a class task. Aimed at school level but can be as simple or challenging as you would like to make it :) A supporting PowerPoint is attached with ideas for student instructions ie group tasks visiting laboratories, what to focus on/take notes + photos of. This can be quite hands on and you can let students measure things and do conversions, creating keys and grids in their own laboratory design plans, if you have the facility to do so.

A booklet that can be done for homework or in class to help consolidate the theory from learning aim G. Includes possible exam questions that may come up in the Part B written paper.

This is a lab book for unit 2 that will help students greatly once assignments are issued. Students can record their results in here during/after the practicals, either handwritten on a printed version or typed on an online copy. This saves loads of time with planning lessons :-) I hope that you find it helpful.

These sheets were created for a class that fell behind and were struggling with unit 4. 2 fool-proof sheets for B and C handy for when students need to finish asap

This PowerPoint is most useful for new teachers, teachers who have not taught VSEPR before (ideas for how to structure your lesson) or teachers who want ideas on how to make this topic more interactive and include ideas for kinaesthetic activities. This PowerPoint includes VSEPR yoga, VSEPR triominoes (I have not included the resource as it is a pack of cards, however I have included instructions and an image example so you can make your own) and VSEPR cut and sticks can also be made to keep your students engaged. Other interactive ideas could include online quizzes such as Kahoot, Bingo etc.

This includes a mini selection of resources including a crossword on learning aim G (fuels), an independent task where students can get on with preparing presentations on the hazards of fuels (has a checklist, 4 choices of what to present on and is differentiated), a results table including structured calculations and report template, a glossary which can be used throughout and added to each time a new key term is introduced and a scientific investigation card sort (which can be used at the beginning as part of the introduction to the unit).

This is a booklet I’ve put together for anyone interested in doing a little ‘at home virtual yoga retreat’! You can do it alone, with your children or partner, it’s up to you. if you are new to yoga and/or meditation, you can check out my other resource ‘Yoga, meditation and other stress management techniques’ which may be good to start with I have included online guided yoga and meditation videos for each day (with a range of instructors, so you may find someone new you wish to subscribe to or in case you prefer some styles of teaching over others!). I have also given each day a theme and included some journalling prompts. Please let me know what you think in a review :) I will be updating the booklet as I continue adding to it, but wanted to get it uploaded asap for anyone looking for ideas of things they can do at home. Let’s try and make the most of this time :) PS - I’ve also included a yoga/meditation calendar for May which is from ‘YogaWithAdriene’ (not made by me) x

Attached are step-by-step calculations with equations, ratios, units etc which were created for the new unit 19 in the level 3 applied science course (new from 2016). The calculations are for the determination of bicarbonate in bottled water, the amount of copper in brass and the amount of iron in iron tablets. There are 3 stages to the bottled water practical, the end answer states the concentration of bicarbonate in water (tap water was used to save money!) in moles per decimetre cubed.

This bundle includes an assignment brief (created by me), lesson on thermodynamics and feasbility (can be easily adapted for what level/content you would like to teach) and answers to the last 4 assignment questions. This was created for a level 4 course where I taught chemistry to biology apprentices (ages 18+). The title of the unit was ‘chemistry for applied biologists’ and this is one of 4 assignments set in that unit. It could also be used for A2 Chemistry as there are some worked examples and practice questions on Gibbs free energy and 2 redox practicals which include half equations and observations.

Designed for Unit 2 Practical Scientific Procedures & Techiques L3 Applied Science. Lesson activity for part of Assignment A teaching and completed ‘5 min lesson plan’ Credit to ‘teacher toolkit’ for the format of the lesson plan.

Sample results for practical-based assignments A, B and C for Unit 2 Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques. Includes results for calibration of 3 pieces of equipment, 2x titrations (one using indicator, one using a pH probe) and colorimetry for assignment A. For assignment B includes results for calibration of a glass and digital thermometer in hot and cold water and cooling of both stearic acid and paraffin wax. supporting videos for assignments: A plotting and annotating pH curve: https://youtu.be/mgNhkUipZw0 Plotting and annotating colorimetry curve: https://youtu.be/IXXOmPygKXY Writing chemical foon a computer: B plotting cooling curves: https://youtu.be/92zysOBqKP8 Finding and referencing a literature value: https://youtu.be/b4jkipDtO9k Drawing a tangent to a curve: https://youtu.be/Ne-cxsjHPIM Includes amino acid and plant chromatography for assignment C. Note amino acid was paper chromatography and basil was used for the plant chromatography, which was thin layer chromatography. Solvents used for chromatography were as follows: For the amino acid chromatography we used a mixture of solvents in the following ratio: butanol, water and ethanoic acid in 4:2:1, respectively. For the plant chromatography we used a mixture of solvents again, in the following ratio: cyclohexane, acetone and petroleum ether in 5:3:2.
