Balancing equations can be tough for many students, especially since they require you to build up knowledge of notation, reactants and products, conservation of mass, writing formulae and using coefficients before you get to actually balancing equation. And then you get even trickier things like half equations and ionic equations. This booklet is here to help - it provides a step by step guide on how to balance equations, starting with the simplest things - recognising reactants and products and writing equations from sentences all the way up to balancing equations and half equations. Each step comes with an explanation, at least one example and some exercises. All exercises have answers provided (in the powerpoint) and there are teachers' notes.
This reasource breaks down how to write an ionic equation for dissolving an acid or an alkali in water, how to work out the salt produced when an acid reacts with an alkali. It also has a list of key words.
This is a table to help students lay out the number of protons, neutrons, electrons and charges in the ions of the first 20 elements.
I have provided the table with blanks for the number of particles in each ion and an answers sheet which can be edited so that the students can work out the charge on an ion based on the number of particles in it.
Here are three exemplar level assessed tasks that were exemplars for teachers set up to be used by students who need help on how level assessed tasks are marked. This is a level assessed task for the cells unit in year 7 but it can be used before any level assessed task to give the pupils an idea on how to do one and mark one.
Just a quick multiple choice quiz for the Earth and Space topic using the diagnostic tests from OxBox as inspiration. It has 13 questions and 15 marks. I have aimed to ask questions which highlight misconceptions.
Here is a list of questions that have appeared in all the past GCSE AQA science ISAs along with their mark scheme answers. In total, these questions make up 35 of the 50 marks on the ISA.
A list of science club activities that can be done. Some could take more than one session. These activites are completely modifiable. Make sure that you have done the appropriate risk assessment for your practicals. Do not just use mine as you may do the practical differently.
Here are titles for each of the units in the Oxford Press Oxbox shceme of work with associated pictures. The aim of these is to use them on displays to highlight work or keywords associated with that unit.
Also includes an introduction to science unit for year 7 and a scientific investigations unit for year 9.
Fancy something to do over a Zoom at the weekend or in the holidays? Here is a 40 question teacher themed pub quiz with the following rounds:
Name the celebrity teacher.
Picture round - real life universities and fictional educational establishments.
This is the silly answer, what is the question.
Teachers and schools in fiction.
Enjoy!!!
This Powerpoint lists common poisonous plants, the names of their poisons and what they do. It also includes a bit of A level chemistry and biology - the Krebs cycle, enzyme inhibition, RNA production inhibition, amino acids, chirality and why different enantiomers have different effects on the body.
I created this lesson at the request of a home educated student.
