This is the perfect topic to end the year on. It is fun and the students don't even realise there is a serious aspect to it: healthy eating, analysing food etc. You can adjust the depth and type of learning outcomes depending on the age group (eg. if it is an older group I always include a section on microbiology and we swab surfaces and check for cleanliness, learn about how factories manage food safety etc). This topic encourages student-led learning and there is considerable enthusiasm in the classroom. You do not need to have an ice cream machine, although I did and there is often someone in the class who does have one). I have written up a rough guide on how the 1-2 weeks would go but I found that the students really enjoyed their own research and in some years this took longer than I originally had planned for. This resource includes: notes for teacher, a base ice cream recipe, ice cream in a bag activity, taste testing template, energy calculation activity and some other ideas (eg poster design). It is a lot of fun and will save you that painful end of year "now what do we do"?

This resource consists of 4 worksheets (13 pages of problems in total). The problems require students to write balanced equations (some are redox) and use calculations to solve the problem. The problems would suit AS and A2 students or those wanting to compete in National Chemistry Olympiad competitions. (18 Jan2018 post script: an additional 2 w/s have been added that focus only on waters of crystallisation).

This resource consists of 9 pages of notes and calculation examples and a three 2-page worksheets to help the teacher or student grapple with buffer calculations. The target is A2 and IB students. The wk/s 4 and 5 (and answers) are essentially a titration on paper where a specific weak acid (or base) is gradually titrated (each problem a new calculation) to show the student the effect the addition of OH ions has on the final pH. Itis a chance to repeat the same calculation multiple times. The format ensures students get to practice on the same system and therefore minimise cognitive overload. Students are encouraged to think about what species are in solution and what part of the titration curve each calculation relates to. I also encourage a novel way of setting out the calculations, which I (and my students) believe minimises potential mistakes.

This resource consists of 5 pages of terms and expressions in Chinese and English that relate to the human body. Separate version require filling in the Chinese or the English word. Additional resources (and answers) specific to the heart, lungs, digestion, the hormone system such as as cross word puzzles, cloze style activities, diagram labeling are also given. Although these resources have been checked by a native Chinese speaker mistakes do happen. Please get back to me if you find an error. The feedback from my international class has been positive and these notes help the students.

This resource contains 9 pages of detailed notes and worked examples as well as a 2-page worksheet that contains some straight forward pH calculations as well as some very challenging calculations due to the weak acid not being so weak. The detailed notes work though a variety of scenarios and some of the associated misconceptions. The notes would be useful for both new chemistry teachers and students. This resource would be suitable for A level students. It will also be useful for those interested in continuing in chemistry or entering the National Chemistry Olympiad competition. Key words: buffer, pH, calculation, acid, base

This resource contains a number of worksheets and activities that will help Korean students learn Chemistry in an English school environment. It includes: * 3 page dictionary of key English chemistry science words (both Korean and English). Parts of this list have been broken down into smaller themed lists to act as worksheets for the students (eg periodic table; acids and bases). * A Korean period table * Metals/non metals worksheets (with pictures to describe properties and a practical activity) * Equipment worksheet * A funworder requiring the student to find the English element * Some cloze style activities * A crossword and other starters. Instruction sentences are also included. These resources have been used for 12 months and adjusted based on feedback from the students. Please leave feedback on how they can be improved or if you find any mistakes.

This resource has a set of notes with worked examples to explain how to determine Lewis structures, molecular shapes and formal charges. The accompanying worksheets (and answers) use these skills to predict shapes and reason the bond angles. Some problems are based on the comparison of two molecules. ws2 problems are more difficult than ws1 and would suit students who are doing A level chemistry and who want to be challenged or are interested in competing in the National Chemistry Olympiad competition. This resource has combined material from 3 previously available resources. If you find any mistakes please make contact with me and I will correct and send an updated version.

This resource focuses on the scientific words used in a typical physics class. There are multiple lists that are missing either the English of the Korean word. The lists include electricity, lab equipment, light and sound and typical physics words. Some worksheets focus on calculations and speaking/describing activities. These will be useful for Korean students studying abroad as international students or for teachers in Korea who wish to teach their students the English words typically used in a physics lesson. More problem based worksheets will be added to this resource in the next few weeks. The feedback from the classroom has been very positive and some colleagues from other schools have asked to use these resources for their Korean International students. If there are specific topics you would like please tell me as it is likely they are currently being developed / or used.

This bundle of resources contains material that will help a native Chinese student manage the new language and subject material that will likely appear in a geology lesson. It includes word lists in Chinese and English that need to accompanying word in the other language, cloze activities, a test and a diagram to label.

This resource consists of a series of w/s with themed problems (and answers). There are 20 pages worth of material (2-4 page w/s) as well as the CIE learning objectives (2016) and the accompanying ppt slides (69 slides). Problems include naming and drawing compounds, writing mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elucidating reaction schemes, geometric isomers, unknowns and definitions etc. updated 9 Nov (pptn was missing)

This bundle has been updated (29 Sept 16) to include: * a 13C nmr spectra assignment worksheet (14 spectra; 5 pages long) and answers to help prepare for the spectroscopy test (see below). * a 1 hour 8-page test (or work sheet). There are 3 questions built up of multiple parts. Each requires the student to use information from Infra Red, Mass Spectrometry and C-13 NMR spectra to elucidate the different compounds. Answers are included. Students are expected to give evidence to support their assignments. This test would be useful for A-level students. Note: This mark scheme is specific to the NZ National examination program and involves some holistic marking and grading rather than /100. The test takes about 1 hr and the focus is on the student being able to write full answers and justify their assignments. It is important that the user adjust this resource to fit with their own national assessment. Over the coming months further tests/work sheet versions will be developed, which will allow users to cut and match questions or be longer to meet end-user needs. The 3rd document consists only of answers (cf. the 2nd where the answers are built into the test/work sheet).

This resource includes a colour-coded power point pack (51 slides): the first half focuses on inheritance and how information is ultimately coded into proteins. The 2nd half covers sexual vs asexual reproduction, genetic variation, mono-hybrid inheritance, punnett squares, pedigree charts and natural selection. The slides are kept simple and are not cluttered with lots of words. The user can delete slides not required for their specific course. My students tell me the slides are easy to annotate and are very good for exam preparation. A set of learning objectives (SLOs) is given as well as three 2-page problem sheets that focused mainly on punnett squares and pedigree charts (answers provided). Two of the problem sheets can be bought separately from this shop ("Biology: punnet square problems and interpretation of pedigree charts"). Thank you to everyone who has bought this resource over the past year. If you have a spare 2 minutes could you please leave some feedback? This will help me refine or add to what I have published.

This resource contains a number of worksheets and activities that will help Chinese students learn Chemistry in an English school environment. It includes: * 3 page dictionary of key English chemistry science words (both Chinese and English). Parts of this list have been broken down into smaller themed lists to act as worksheets for the students (eg periodic table; acids and bases). * A Chinese period table, * Metals/non metals worksheets (with pictures to describe properties and a practical activity) * Equipment worksheet * A funworder requiring the student to find the English element * Some cloze style activities * A crossword and other starters. 2-Sept-16: an updated list of Chinese words has been added with some small corrections.

This resource focuses on the scientific words used in a typical physics class as well as a number of related worksheets (eg. calculations, a crossword, cloze style activity, English short answers). These will be useful for Chinese students studying abroad as international students or teachers in China who wish to teach their students the English words typically used in a physics lesson. Answers are also provided. The feedback from the classroom has been very positive and some colleagues from other schools have asked to use these resources for their Chinese International students. If there are specific topics you would like please tell me as it is likely they are currently being developed / or used.

This resource consists of all of the material a teacher would need to teach a 3-4 week topic on this most delightful of topics: the Periodic table. Most of the focus is on the PT trends, how it can be used to predict a property of an element or charge on an ion. The activities have been tried in my class over the past few years and the students feedback and improved grades suggest they add value. My bug bear as a Chemist is that the PT is often taught as "first 20 by rote" with little time spent showing students how they can use the PT to help answer questions or solve problems. The topic covers subatomic particles, electron configuration, formation of ions, compounds/molecules, reactions of group 1 and 2 metals with group 6 and 7 non-metals and the tests for H2, O2 and CO2. Resources include worksheets, cloze activities, starters, projects, identifying equipment activity and short tests. The “notes for teachers” outlines how I teach this subject for both low and higher ability students along with ideas of the projects I set the students. Some documents contain more than 1 worksheet or activity and some worksheets are 2 pages long. Additional slides have been included on balancing equations if the class is stronger. Either use them in this course or save for the following year. Some of this material appears in other resources at Drogchem's shop (eg balancing equations and funworders). Thank you to everyone that bought this resource. If you get a spare 2 minutes could you leave some feedback? It is the only way I will know whether it meets your needs or what I might need to do to develop it further.

This resource pack consists of material that will be covered in the AS and A2 program. It includes + Power point (53 slides) covering: oxidation number and balancing REDOX equations revision, REDOX calculations, batteries, Nernst equation and electrolysis. + Summarised CIE learning objectives + Student notes - REDOX (8 pages) that summarise the slides + Student notes – balancing REDOX equations + 7 -11 work sheets depending on whether double sided or a booklet (19 pages of problems) and answers. + Practicals (4) Buying this bundle will mean buying material used over two years so hopefully it is save you time and be viewed as value for money. Please note, some of these resources are already available on TES but as smaller bundles. 17 Aug 16: A recent typo was found on the electrolysis w/s and it has been updated (Q4, IV).

Thank you to all those who have bought this resource. Please leave feedback as it helps me better align the material to student needs. This resource bundle (85) combines material from multiple resources focused on Science for Chinese students learning English as a second language. The purpose of the bundle is to provide material for teachers who have native Chinese speakers in their class. The students are regularly put into other subjects (eg Science) as part of the experience yet often with limited material that targets both language and content knowledge. This material has been trialed on 20 students over 12 months and refined over the year. This bundle includes material in biology, physics, chemistry and astronomy. Specifically, * A list of translated general science question phrases typically asked in worksheets and exams * A list of useful describing words when filling out worksheets and exams * Chemistry: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), works sheets covering periodic tale, electron configuration, acid/base, PT trends, fun worders, cross word puzzles, cloze-style activities, short answer questions, True/False activities, 15-20 minute tests, PT, who am I activities and a metal-non metal practical activity. * Biology: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), anatomy diagrams for labeling, plants/flower diagrams for labeling, short answer questions, ecology x-wrds, poster activity, classification activity. * Physics: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), light and sound x-word, graph w/s, calculation w/s, forces w/s, pressure w/s and power w/s, mechanics w/s * Astronomy: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), short answer questions, word finder. Admittedly, there is slightly more chemistry resources than physics. The students told me that chemistry and biology (and the associated terms) were their biggest issue. Please leave me feedback to let me know what and how I can improve the bundle or tell me of material you are searching for.
