Learning Intentions 1 - Recall the factors affecting rate of chemical reaction 2 - Understand the difference between collision theory and activation energy 3 - Understand how to calculate the mean rate of a reaction and surface area:volume ratio. Suitable for Black and White Printing Additional Resources: None Running Time: 30 minutes The students enjoy this activity as I allow them to work in pairs and decide on which 4 out of the 8 tasks they would like to do. This gives students sense of ownership of the task and encourages engagement.

Who is it for? This is an assessment based upon the new national curriculum on acids and alkalis suitable for KS3 but could also be used at KS4 for a pre-topic assessment. What is included? This resource is a carefully designed, 30 question multiple choice quiz, that assesses depth of knowledge. There are two ways to use the resource. Firstly, it can be manually marked within a couple of minutes, by students. Secondly, it can be marked using the free Quick Key App for android and IOS. Data is collected within seconds using the teacher's mobile phone or tablet, and results visible immediately as well as consolidated in an Excel Spreadsheet. The data in this form is exceptionally useful, teachers are able to assess progress in a matter of minutes, and address misconceptions immediately. I've been using this app for a very long time and can't recommend it highly enough. Feedback tasks can be generated in either little report forms or as a whole class spread sheet that can be RAG rated by outcome. See the video tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0XcUHc09Qc Info on the app can be found here: https://get.quickkeyapp.com/teachers/ Feedback Tasks related to this assessment will be available by 14 November and can be found at my shop. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis
