GCSE Chemistry Required Practical Activities - Bundle Pack containing activities 5-8 inc. MS

Required practicals will replace controlled assessment in the new GCSE.

This bundle of resources contains worksheets for the first 5 practical activities along with expected results and mark scheme as appropriate.

1. PA 5 Rates of chemical reaction foundation tier
2. PA 5 Rates of chemical reaction higher tier
3. PA 6 Chromatography
4. PA 7 Identifying ions
5. PA 8 Purifying water

These record and worksheets are much more than a method. They are designed to track students performance towards achieving their apparatus and skills and provide information to help them understand the background chemistry which is key to understanding an experiment and not just completing it. All the sheets can be bound together in-house into a Required Practicals workbook/log book, or you could hand the sheets out separately.

Practical work may be assessed through the terminal examinations - be sure that your students haven’t just done the practicals but understand them fully!

AQA state:
Practical work is at the heart of science – that’s why we have placed it at the heart of each of our GCSE science specifications. By carrying out carefully considered practical work, students will enhance their investigative thinking, improve their mastery of techniques and consolidate their understanding of key scientific concepts.

Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time and support your students to understand the practical work in greater depth.
