All the modern hazard symbols covered by the curriculum gathered into one place. Images should be large enough for printing for displays. Check out my other resources for power points and worksheets related to these hazard symbols. display, safety, practical

Pupils are given this guide to writing up practical investigations. They can tick off each section after they think they have answered it, identifying what they need to do for each mark. Includes all common sections of a write up including hypothesis, method, diagram, graph, results table, context, analysis and evaluation. The resultant marks are added up to give a pupil a sub level based upon the number of marks they have achieved. This works very well for independent working as well as peer and self assessment after they have finished. I also find it very useful myself when marking.

A simple worksheet used with my year 7s to allow them to practice naming compounds. includes 6 common compounds that can be named with simple rules. All of these compounds are also known by another name so you can engage pupils by telling them about everyday substances. Simple worksheet, compounds, afl, starter, plenery

A great challenging activity, split your class into 6 groups, print out on six different colours of paper and gove each group the relevant cards for each scientist in a different colour. My medium ability year 7s were able to delegate tasks within their groups and so complete the whole puzzle in less than 10 minutes - meaning they could then answer the questions on the main card. Includes; Rutherford, Bohr, Democritus, Dalton, Thompson and Higgs so that dates go right up until October 2013, covering 2500 years of chemistry history.

Pupils split into two groups ( a higher and lower ability group) each pupil in the lower ability group uses the information provided to write a letter to the CEO of a multinational oil company posing as a member of greenpeace. Pupils need to explain their concerns about the effects of using hydrocarbons on the environment. The other half of the class pose as CEOs of the company.

Simple checklists that can be used by pupils and their peers alike to mark or assess their own graphs, I am using this early on with my year 7s so that they can form good habits by the time they are doing ISAs.

A simple card sort for al the different stages in an investigation write up: Diagram , apparatus, hypothesis, method etc. Pupils have to identify what the definition is and an example of each.

Simple stickers for my year 7s, placed in books when pupils are able to explain how to use equipment safely or accurately. Nice skinner technique.

Useful layout of all the learning objectives from the spec for AQA chemistry. Pupils can tick off topics as they go along or use this as a revision tool that is slightly easier to use than the plain specs. I am using this for formative assessment to have pupils tell me which areas they are confident with.

Simple rock cycle card sort. I use this half way through teaching the rock cycle so that pupils can work out the rest of the cycle themselves. Just print laminate and cut out.

Since 2007 the hazard symbols used worldwide have been changing to these new pictograms. I have yet to see resources using them in schools. Pupils need to know what these mean and so I have updated some of the usual activities and collected together all the important images. Includes a powerpoint explaining in simple terms what the pictograms mean. hazard symbols, safety, laboratory, year 7
