Starter worksheet (cloze passage) created for the new L3 Applied Science (from 2016) Unit 3 (I used this for an observation). To recall previous knowledge on fuels. Includes stretch and challenge/early finishers task at the bottom and task objective at the top.
Main lesson task also included which guides students through how to structure and what to write and include for a lab report.
A PowerPoint lesson for Unit 4 assignment B preparation of an organic liquid. Includes lesson plan, helpful videos, pre-practical questions and starter activity worksheets (with teacher answers). I was observed in this lesson and obtained good feedback.
Includes a worksheet to assist with ideas and a starting point for research tasks/discussion around P4.
Other details: While students are refluxing for 30min, you could get them to look up literature values for the boiling point of the ester (so they know the temperature it should come out at during distillation) and research factors that affect purity and the effect that impurities will have on the boiling point. What are possible impurities and where may they come from etc.
If you have efficient, confident students, this full lesson with the 3 stage practical including activities will take 3 hours. If your students are less confident, I recommend 4 hours.
**note - **recommended videos included are from the RSC
written lesson plan is mine, however the template is from ‘teacher toolkit’ :)
A viscosity worksheet on identifying Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids and a crossword which can be used as an end of topic/end of lesson activity. Both with answers!
Created for Level 3.
This resource is a lesson created for A2 Chemistry OCR syllabus which covers Bronsted - Lowry acids and bases, conjugate acid-base pairs, mono, di and tribasic acids, neutralisation reactions with acid: carbonates, metal oxides and alkalis.
Includes theory, is interactive and has questions and answers. It has step-by-step guides to calculations and refers to OCR Chemistry textbook (states page numbers of summary questions to complete at end of teaching a mini-topic).
Watch me teach the basics of part this topic at ‘PhysChem with Liz’ on YouTube:

A PowerPoint created for teachers on how to structure the lesson and key things for students to notice. Includes a starter activity and some pointers about citing values, the 2 layers in the separation stage and how to do the yield calculation.
Note that PAG methods and teacher/technician sheets are on the OCR website. Each institution should have one person who is given an OCR login and access to these.
A nice 5-10 minute activity where students sketch and describe the shape of the graph and how k can be found.
Ideal for a starter/plenary.
I have included an answer file too. Ignore my first and second order curves, badly drawn! Second order should be steeper at the start compared to first order.
A guide to PAG 9.1 suitable for students and teachers. This assumes a basic understanding of what is going on.
PowerPoint includes the lesson/PAG aims, what you should be recording, how to set up your apparatus (ie fill burette first and keep tap closed), how to calculate volume of oxygen and concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
PowerPoint also shows how your graph should look and what to include with your PAG submission.
The starting exercises at the beginning refer to the A2 textbook and the RSC starter for 10 worksheets which are readily available online: https://edu.rsc.org/resources/kinetics-starters-2-16-18/4010281.article
A booklet covering an intro to buffers, all the equations you need to learn and the main types of buffer calculations with stepwise methods and an answer booklet with all working.
Worksheet resources for Learning Aim G, the Chemistry section of Unit 3 for L3 Applied Science.
Hydrocarbons (including paraffin wax) as a fuel.
Resource is for teachers.
