Selection of activities for teaching about the earth’s early atmosphere and how it changed, including a storyboard with answers, cloze activity with answers, and 2 exam-style questions (short questions or a 6-mark) with suggested mark schemes.
Covers 4.9.1.2 of AQA GCSE Chemistry (the earth’s early atmosphere).
This activity includes an information sheet which shows students how to complete dot-cross diagrams, and lots of examples to practice with. Answers in a separate file.
(No answers)
Summary sheet on separating and purifying substances. This was created for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE but could be adapted for other specifications.
2 differentiated worksheets where students work out the displayed and molecular formula of the first 8 alkanes. Second more difficult sheet also includes working out the empirical formula.
A worksheet (with answers) I made to give my Y7 class at the end of their Elements topic. Would also work well with AQA( Kerboodle) Activate 1 Matter 1 topic.
Includes elements (their names and symbols), elements/compounds/mixtures, pure/impure substances & heating/cooling curves, dissolving/solubility, filtration & distillation, naming compounds & chemical formulae.
This worksheet helps students practice the calculations needed for titrations, with scaffolding that is gradually removed. An answer sheet is included.
Worksheet for practising drawing displayed formulae of alkenes and their reaction products (including hydration producing alkanes, halogenation producing haloalkanes, and water producing alcohols).
Used for AQA GCSE Separate Chemistry, Organic Chemistry topic.
Practice questions for the AQA Chemistry calculations topic (relative formula mass, relative atomic mass, moles, reacting masses and limiting reactants)
Worksheet for practising drawing displayed formulae of alcohols and their reactions products, e.g. reactions with oxidising agents and sodium.
Used for AQA Separate Chemistry, Organic Chemistry topic.
Activity on predatory-prey cycles. Students can be given either the scaffolded worksheet or just the graph for them to describe and explain independently. Includes a food web/producers and consumers recap starter. Used with Activate 1 Interdependence and Plant Reproduction with a Y7 group.
2 worksheet versions, one includes drawing the scientific diagrams for each piece of equipment while the other is just naming and describing functions. Answers included.
Students arrange the models of the atom into a timeline and add the statements that describe each model. They can then use this as a scaffold to demonstrate their learning, e.g. by recreating the timeline in their book or writing ‘The Story of the Model of the Atom’. Or they can stick it straight in their books if they have 1 copy each - I laminated because a) I wanted to use the resource again, and b) I wanted my low ability group to draw the timeline themselves to embed the knowledge).
Used with a low-ability Y10 group for both atomic structure and radioactivity topics to help them visualise the development of the atom - I played this video to help them (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4Us5PTb4J8), could also be used with the information sheets or as a revision activity. Stretch: blue boxes contain either an evaluation fo the model or information on how it was developed (e.g. cathode ray tube, alpha scattering experiment). These could be omitted and students asked to write this information on post-it notes instead.
I have tried to organise the boxes in a way that minimise the time taken to cut out.
Revision summary sheet for C9, crude oil & fuels for AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy. Covers crude oil & hydrocarbons, fractional distillation, cracking and combustion.
Revision summary sheet for AQA Activate Energy Part 2 - includes heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation), work done and simple machines, along with some science skills.
