A calendar of weekly activities to last the year with themed links to each coming holiday. Including events such as: creating reusable glowsticks for halloween, making snow for Christmas and egg themed experiments before Easter.
Included is a link to an editable poster - it is a google link to a view only document. To make your own copy click File>Make a copy. You will then be able to write over the script and use the poster as you wish.
There are links to most activities - ones without are self explanatory.

• Accuracy of thermometers and temperature probes at different temperatures.
A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about how salts can be made by reacting a metal oxide and base. Students will be able to name salts or determine the reactants that form them, balance equations regarding salts and for a high ability stretch use moles in order to calculate the needed masses of reactants to react completely.
Progress checks are available following each success criteria
Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner.
Learning objective: Justify how specific salts can be synthesised with reference to amounts.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
