This is something I write for Mts to keep them focussed on their responsibilities at this time of the year. Includes links to guidance on applying to holland, the US, the UK etc, personal statement advice and is a good start for the inexperienced MT. I keep track of all of the applications, personal statements and references through a google drive, but you can edit this to link in to whatever you want. This is a brief over-view, a full presentation required an hour and staff were losing the will to live, so I have chopped it to the bare minimum that I think MTs should be doing.

This is a resource I made for an observed lesson on Mixtures. It is differentiated by task and learning style and supplements work on Elements compounds and mixtures. It includes a data handling exercise and works into demonstrations using molymods and real demonstrations.

Differentiated Resources for teaching Organic Chemistry. Differentiated by ability and task. Pupils use the cut out and match-up cards to construct a reaction pathway, from alkenes to carboxylic acids and back and flashcards to learn the functional groups. I have colour coded this into three simple reaction pathways-see picture- you could amalgamate for stronger pupils (or get them to integrate) into one larger web, or provide blanks to expand on the stimulus material. To make Flashcards- simply fold down the centre and stick. For weaker candidates I give them colour coded versions. Additionally, for the flashcards, weaker candidates get given the structures. Stronger candidates can do this as a pair matching or sequencing activity which gives better retention in the long run. Works fine as a starter, revision, plenary or activity.

This contains a little more information about the benefits of studying in Europe (principally cost) but also calibre of university via weblinks. Obviously, Berxit is going to scupper a lot of these fee structures but it’s worth showing your pupils there is more than just English unis available. It is editable and I use this as the framework for a letter to parents. I have u

This is for pupils to develop the ability to use a spreadsheet (I wrote it in excel) to process a large amount of data in order to calculate a value for g (set to be a little lower than 9.8) and then lead into consideration of experimental errors. Using s=ut + 1/2at2 pupils can calculate gravitational acceleration. Pupils are provided with values for s and t Pupils need to calculate a mean t from a very large data set (easy to do using excel). Pupils then need to square the mean t. Then they need to plot s against t2 which will give them a linear graph with the gradient as 1/2 a. The worksheet is editable so weaker pupils can have more guided instructions. Stronger pupils can work their way through. The accompanying worksheet then looks at errors in measurement- absolute and % AND there is a random error in the data set. Pupils can use absolute errors in the data to determine size of error bars, Pupils can work out experimental error, plot best, steepest and shallowest trend lines for g and compare that against the total % error in their data.

Multi choice and short response style questions that are repeated at regular intervals to reinforce the type of question being tested.

Will work fine for distance learning/ supported e-learning. I use this as a set of notes/questions for introduction to organic, as homework for my IBDP students and as revision for exams. It can also be used for a set of work for cover lessons or for pupils who have been absent from class. Essentially it is a good back-covering exercise in that you KNOW the pupils have covered the work if they can complete the exercises. It’s not massively exciting, but it covers all bases.

A set of notes and links to videos to cover rate expression, reaction mechanism, activation energy and rate determining step. Works fine as gap fill or revision.

A powerpoint that includes links to animations and videos to allow teaching of this key concept in a blended learning environment.

A series of notes, activities, video links and gap-fill exercises to support the distance learning of Kinetics. It is in word format so can be edited by pupils without access to a printer, either in word or in ipad markup.

A set of notes, exercises and videolinks to support the teaching of Kinetics. This works well for students in remote working mode and as catch-up work. I use the gap-fill exercises in Word or Markup on iPad, but they work just as well printed off and filled in by the student.

Editable word document that contains weblinks and supporting resources to learn atomic structure. Especially useful for distance learners. Contains gap-fill exercises Questions Video links and worked examples.

Shows students how addition of alkali to acid changes the moles of H+, then [H+] then pH and shows why pH approaches 14 but doesn’t reach it. Also shows how very small changes in volume create a very steep rise in pH They can then plot the graph if that is a desired outcome (or view the generated one) A nice mathematical demonstration suitable for A level or IB students.

A resource to teach the three methods of calculating ∆H and to reinforce ICT skills. Includes weblinks, data for graph plotting, bond energies and Hess’s triangle exercises.

This is a complete resource for teaching everything you could need about atomic structure. Contains notes, questions, weblinks and worked examples. I have used this as cover work when away, as preliminary reading before starting the topic. As revision in September and before the end of year exams. It's a good resource that has been revised as the syllabus updates.
