I have made a range of resources for the calculations that AQA GCSE students will be expected to complete for the new Chemistry specification (8462). The resources packs contain 1. PowerPoint showing the key stages/background information on the calculation. 2. Word document worksheet with some questions for the students to attempt, whenever possible these are based on exam questions. 3. Word document with the questions on with space left for working out the answer. 4. WMV video clip this format is playable in most programs, such as RealPlayer, MPlayer, Windows Media Player, and the VLC Media Player. The video clip goes through the stages of the calculations on the worksheet, this is extremely useful for students (and teachers) who are struggling to see where the answer comes from. 5. Word document containing just the answers. There are a total of 13 resource packs for the balancing chemical equations calculations. If you find the Resource Packs helpful and want more of the same the rest of the resource packs can be purchased from TES at: 1. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-1-free-sample-11354804 2. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-2-11354808 3. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-3-11354813 4. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-4-11354814 5. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-5-11354818 6. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-6-11354822 7. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-7-11354823 8. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-8-11354825 9. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-9-11354826 10. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-10-11354830 11. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-11-11367403 12. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-12-11367404 13 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-balancing-chemical-equations-13-11367406 I have also made a bundle which is available for a reduced price containing all of the resource pack for this type of calculation.

These are question cards on Subatomic Structure and include questions on protons, neutrons, electrons, charges of subatomic particles, structure of the atom, relative masses of subatomic particles, relative atomic mass, atomic number, calculation the numbers of subatomic particles, electron structure and ions. These are made to go with the Science Revision Board Game I made which I use with KS3 and KS4 students to revise for their end of unit tests or exams. The board game and some sample question cards are freely available at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-revision-board-game-free-version-11445205 If the game board isn’t quite how you’d like it, or if you want your own question cards you could download my ‘Make Your Own Revision Board Game Resource Pack’ which can be purchased at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/make-your-own-revision-board-game-resource-pack-11445322 For the teacher, this is quick and easy revision activity that requires a one-time set up and then it can be used time and time again! Very little effort is required by you and the students can happily spend all lesson playing the game (if you let them) leaving you free to do what you fancy! My students love it and I get chance to sit down with the students who need extra help, or catch up on a bit of marking. To get started: • Print the board game on white A3 paper. • Print the question cards on blue paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Print the hazard cards on yellow paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Laminate the board game (optional but makes the game last longer) • Get a little stash of counters or items that could be used as the player pieces e.g. coloured paper circles, novelty rubbers, little model etc • Get some dice. For a class of 30 I’ve found that 6 groups of 5 work quite well, therefore you’d need 6 game boards and 6 packs of cards. For each unit taught I’ve made my own quiz cards so the students can test themselves on the unit content, I have quite a few different units which I am in the processing of uploading to TES now. Keep your eyes peeled for the bundles I am putting together.

These are question cards on Chemical Bonding and include questions on ionic bonds, covalent bonds, metallic bonds, metals, non-metals, electrons, giant covalent structures, simple covalent structure, graphite, diamond, electrical conductivity, identifying bond type from pictures, and solubility of bonds. These are made to go with the Science Revision Board Game I made which I use with KS3 and KS4 students to revise for their end of unit tests or exams.

This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS3/KS4 students who are studying forces, friction, scientific investigations, variables, data analysis, graph plotting, concluding findings, identifying patterns, writing conclusions, evaluating a practical and results. This resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task and relevant background information. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students work can be assessed, this has two columns so that the students can tick off the levels as they go and then the teacher can tick off the achieved tasks too. 4. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. The spreadsheet includes a few comments for the graph however focuses mainly on the conclusion and evaluation aspect of this assessment. A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 This was originally a KS3 assessment on method writing, however I have expanded this to a full investigation which could be used for KS3 students and KS4 students preparing for coursework. The levels are numerical however these could be adapted to whatever you need.

This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 GCSE students who are studying energy changes in reactions, exothermic reactions, endothermic reactions, oxidation reactions, rate of change, rate of reaction, graph plotting and analysing practical data and results. This resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work. 4. Word document containing a mark scheme, with exemplar answers in. There are a range of suitable answers for some of the questions and the graph scales may vary from student to student, so this mark scheme should be used to inform your marking but should be considered open to interpretation. 5.

Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task. 7. JPEG images showing a hand-drawn versions of the graph, this may also be useful for students who aren't confident in starting to plot graphs. This is based on an old worksheet, some elements of this task are rather tricky and would probably be best for med - high ability KS4. The graph plotting could be done on computers. This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A however I have removed these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.
