Rates of reactions exercises

(0)
This resource is designed to practise graphing skills and data analysis around chemistry rates of reactions. Also designed to develop student understanding of results obtained using collision theory. The exercise consists of activities where students develop understanding of the 4 different ways to change rates of reaction - concentration, temperature, catalysts and surface area.
The Avengers

The Avengers

(0)
This lesson involves using the avengers to teach students about forces and motion, The unit involves a lesson plan and an activity where students compare the skills of each avenger and solve simple calculations using Newtons first and second laws of motion. The students work in groups to help solve these mathematical problems
How to use a bunsen burner

How to use a bunsen burner

(0)
The presentation is to be done over two lessons. The first lesson goes over lab safety with an activity involving finding potential dangers in the lab. The next lesson involves the use of a bunsen burner to test for metals. The latter lesson involves students getting a bunsen burner drivers license by following safety steps. Once attained they test solid salt samples by the flame test. The other activity includes labelling the bunsen burner and using terms in sentences to reinforce learning. The learning objectives for both lessons are outlined in the presentation.

Global Warming

(0)
Designed to worked over for 3 lessons. The presentation and video are designed to introduce the concept of global warming, the causes and possible solutions and the evidence underlying the development of the theory of human involvement in global warming. The presentation also includes an activity to assess student understanding of the science. Primarily aimed at junior science, the video reinforces the presentation but illustrating the effects of global warming,.
Fossil Fuel Misconceptions
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Fossil Fuel Misconceptions

(0)
This activity is designed to help identify what students already know about fossil fuels. Unless pre-existing ideas are identified and properly addressed, new knowledge may not be incorporated correctly. Three common misconceptions are identified that can be used to form the basis of a classroom discussion. Alternatively a short multi-choice survey can be used to determine the underlying knowledge students have.
Future Energy Resources
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Future Energy Resources

(0)
An activity where students present a poster outline the advantages and disadvantages of possible future energy sources. Linked to junior science and physics. The activity can differentiated by the level of detail required in assessing the disadvantages and advantages.
Future Energy Poster
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Future Energy Poster

(0)
Activity where students are to develop a poster on the advantages and disadvantages of possible energy sources of the future. Designed for junior science in particular physics. Students consider social impacts of energy solutions. There is possibility for differentiation of how it is presented and also in to the level of depth the student applies to assessing the energy solutions.
Slinkies and waves activity
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Slinkies and waves activity

(0)
Activity idea In this activity, students model how sound travels by sending waves along two stretched plastic slinkies tied together. By the end of this activity, students should be able to: • understand that sound is a longitudinal wave where particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the same direction as the wave travels • see that a wave travels along as a series of compressions and expansions in the medium.
Chemical Word Equations
