Student-friendly advantages vs disadvantages sheet on different fuels.

This is an AS level chemistry revision resource that can be used in lesson as a plenary, for AFL or set as homework. Alternatively it can be used as part of a revision lesson.

This is a set of 6 trump cards on separating mixtures. They cover distillation, filtration, decanting, paper chromatography, magnet and gel electrophoresis (challenge). The PowerPoint can be modified. The Word document is printed and laminated. These can be used for Key Stage 3 groups as well as lower ability GCSE groups. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is an instruction sheet for teachers and students on how to make a bioplastic using everyday lab resources. Silicone paper can be bought online. This sheet can be printed and laminated for the students. Photos and a lesson PowerPoint will be uploaded later. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is an acids and alkalis revision crossword. This covers naming salts, H+, OH-, ammonium nitrate and neutralisation. There are 15 words.

This is a fun activity that be used as a lesson starter or for revision. Students replace element names with symbols to find the names of film characters (easier) or use the clues to work out the symbols (challenging). Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

Periodic table match up exercise for Key Stage 3 - use as a starter, revision or plenary

These fact sheets can be printed and given to more able pupils to highlight key facts about these 2 types of green energy.

US Admiral Rickover's 1957 the end of oil speech and 2004 National Geographic article 'the end of cheap oil. Both have been edited to one page length. Questions are provided. Suitable for high ability KS3 and mid to high ability KS4. Feedback: rowan.savage@hotmail.com

This is an AS Chemistry lesson on calculating which chemical is in excess in a reaction. Also students calculate an enthalpy change using a graphical method for reactions that happen slowly and therefore heat is lost to the surroundings when recording the temperature rise. The graphical method involves estimating the actual temperature increase. There is opportunity to use hand warmers for the starter activity and reacting magnesium with oxygen (i.e. in air) as a main activity. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a set of 16 revision flashcards created for AQA C1.6 GCSE plant oil revision. The question and answer pages should be printed double sided and then cut out. The questions and answers match up when printed double sided. There are 8 Challenge questions to extend students and keywords in the question are highlighted in bold. Font is 1.5 line spacing to make the writing easier to read. GCSE grades D to A. Diagrams and questions are included from past paper exam questions. Please rate this resource and leave feedback

These are thoroughly differentiated resources designed for an AS level chemistry lesson on reduction of carbonyl compounds. Objectives are framed as learning questions and graded C to A. There are clear AFL plenaries using mark schemes. There is a graded Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz for an end plenary. The starter is an engaging scents demo using butanal (pleasant) and butanoic acid (rancid butter). Pace and student effort is the key to delivering an outstanding lesson using these resources. Mark schemes can be printed. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a lesson designed as part of the Edexcel A2 unit 4 scheme of work on carbonyl compounds. In this lesson students can carry out a practical (grade C) to compare the oxidation of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. The oxidation and distillation of a primary alcohol is demonstrated. Students then develop their understanding (grade B) by considering which type of oxidant would be best to oxidise geraniol (rose scent) to germinal (lemon scent). Geraniol could be used in the demo. The grade A task is writing organic redox half equations. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a set of 16 revision flashcards created for AQA C1.2 GCSE limestone cycle revision. The question and answer pages should be printed double sided and then cut out. The questions and answers match up when printed double sided. There are 8 Challenge questions to extend students and keywords in the question are highlighted in bold. Font is 1.5 line spacing to make the writing easier to read. GCSE grades D to A. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is an AS chemistry 14 mark test on the topic redox with mark scheme and very detailed feedback sheet sheet.

There is a newspaper template with boxes that students fill in using information from the website links. The NSB website is a website that provides symbol equations (very challenging). The Doncaster website is a lot easier to read and understand. I will later add a lesson PowerPoint and keywords glossary.

This is a lesson that works with a very able top set double science GCSE, triple science GCSE or AS chemistry. The levels are based on AS so these may need to be increased if this lesson is to be used at GCSE. The SAS video is played from 2 minutes 30 to around 5 minutes for the starter activity. The Top Gun theme tune could be used as an activity timer. Exam questions are from Edexcel AS chemistry unit 1 but work equally well for GCSE. The Mr T photo indicates 'challenge&' questions that require resilience (independent learning). Please rate and leave feedback.

This is a PowerPoint that I share with AS students so that they are aware of the grade boundaries. I use percentage equivalents to grade work that is handed in. It is worthwhile bringing to students attention that AS boundaries are lower than A2 despite the increasing challenge in A2.

This is a peer editing exam question task on polarity for AS Chemistry. Students use the glossary keywords to answer an exam question. To help develop exam writing skills there are 3 graded questions based on the exam question. Students answer each of these questions then pass the sheet on to their partner to peer edit their work - such as by adding more detail from the glossary. The actual mark scheme is provided for students to assess themselves against. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is the 6th of my AFL strategies. Tarsia are an excellent and fun way of carrying out AFL. This is because the shape expected is generated if the correct answers are matched up. These are science tarsia and more of these will be added. Please leave feedback and rate the resources if you find them useful or have suggestions as to how they can be improved.
