A complete revision guide that can be copied, distributed to students and used until fully published resources become available. Already tried and tested as a Christmas revision guide for year 9 students learning from the draft specifications, this 20 page fact based booklet adapts and extends the exam specification to support revision for assessments and tests. Covers: Atoms, Elements, Compounds and Mixtures Chemical Symbols Word Equations Ionic Equations Half Equations Changing model of the atom Protons, neutrons and electrons The early periodic table NOW UPDATED TO INCLUDE - booklet of practice questions and answers for use and adaptation in school. 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! The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist. These resources have been prepared for the new GCSE science examination specifications that are new for first teaching in 2016. Get ahead with year 9 or use to plan your schemes of work for September. Buy individual resources or a set of lessons. Fully resourced with Powerpoints, worksheets and lesson activities and key facts and opportunities for improvement and redrafting throughout.

Professor Bunsen Alpha Resources tailored to the United States NGSS. This resources is written for MS-PS1-1 and introduces a new character for the USA - Seaborg! Academic Standards - NGSS Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures Disciplinary Core Ideas DCI - PS1.A Structure and Properties of Matter Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. (MS-PS1-1). Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it. (MS-PS1-2),(MS-PS1-3). The resources are written by a post-doctoral research chemist from the University of Oxford turned secondary school chemistry teacher. Fully resourced with Powerpoints, worksheets and lesson activities and key facts and opportunities for improvement and redrafting throughout.

Required practicals will replace controlled assessment in the new GCSE. 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.

An easy session with worked examples to provide as much information as most staff need to know for the transition to progress 8. This training session predicts the end of the flight path and while not offering concrete alternatives helps your staff to understand exactly what goes into the measure that their performance is now judged against. Three case study worksheets with marksheets help staff to work out for themselves the progress 8 scores. These should be accompanied by the download of the most recent KS2 to GCSE performance tables from the DfE (not included).

Save time by avoiding the need for your students to write out lengthy sets of notes or draw diagrams. The complete unit work book includes spaces for marking and feedback including checked by teacher and verbal feedback given. Also leaves space to stick in improvement work or complete on the page. Could substitute for class books providing evidence for progress over time linked to success criteria. I write Professor Bunsen resources to teach and test in my own classroom and try to make the resources compatible with a lot of the ways in which we are currently being asked to teach science including feedback and improvements and redrafting. The new specifications are intensive on time, and I am testing out moving towards workbooks and away from ordinary class books. These could be differentiated towards your own students. I hope that I manage to make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time!
