This tarsia puzzle is designed to test students’ knowledge of homologous series and types of polymerisation. Students need to cut out each triangle. Triangles can be arranged to form a larger triangle. Students will know if they’ve been correct in their sorting if the statement on one side of a smaller triangle corresponds to the statement on the adjacent triangle. The resource is made to accompany the C8 (Organic Chemistry Unit) from the AQA GCSE 9-1 syllabus. Answers are included.

Here’s an interactive activity that students can use to find out and summarise their knowledge of methods of heat transfer (e.g. Conduction, convection & radiation). Cut out the larger square and fold the corners along the dotted lines. Add descriptions of each type of heat transfer to the corners (in the shaded sections). Draw diagrams to represent energy transfers on each inside corner. Complete the gap fill using the word bank. Stick the gap fill into the exposed centre of the foldable. Stick the reverse side of the foldable into their book. This is a resource that’s designed for a mid to lower ability class and supports the energy transfers topic from the AQA physics specification. The resource can be easily adapted for higher ability groups by removing the gap fill and asking students to describe each type of energy transfer using the key words.

Here’s a worksheet that can be used as an introduction or summary to the ‘Making Copper sulfate salts’ required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses. The sheet includes sections on: Background information on neutralisation reactions Key definitions Word equations for making salts The method - including a list of key terms Exam style questions The resource also has QR codes that can be scanned to take students to useful webpages or videos that will help them with the sheet.

Here’s a worksheet that can be used as an introduction or summary to the ‘Electrolysis ’ required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses.
