Revision worksheet using a range of retrieval practice and thinking hard strategies (includes colour code/categorise, true or false, label the diagrams and odd one out). Useful revision summary that really requires pupils to think about what they have learnt rather than just repeat. Can also use the keyword quota activity to then assess pupils’ scientific literacy on the topic.

Starts with differentiated structure strips to help students through the reacting masses calculation using moles (GCSE Chemistry - Higher Tier) Orange strip - slightly more hints/support Blue strip - basic guidance through the calculation Then has examples for students try without the structure strip. Though step-by-step hints provided for any still struggling. Would then follow with an exam question from appropriate exam board and ask students to complete without any help.

A3 resource to help students visualise what is happening during the electrolysis of four different aqueous solutions (*AQA REQUIRED PRACTICAL). Splits the solutions into the anode and cathode. I tend to work through the first example on the visualiser in this order: 1 - Identify the four ions present in the solution 2 - Draw the two ions that would be attracted to the cathode in the cathode half, repeat for the anode. 3 - Use the rules printed at the top to then identify the product at each electrode. 4 - State the reason for each product (again using the rules at the top) Students can then try the other three examples on their own.

Structure strips to help students answer common Structure & Bonding explain questions. This resource is aimed at lower ability but could be used to aid structuring exam questions for any ability.

Resource folds into an A5 booklet with the visual instructions on the front and the exam-style questions on the inside. Includes a scientific literacy section focusing on key words in the required practical. Would usually use as students completed the required practical but would also be useful to allow students to follow along during a demonstration (COVID appropriate!)

Resource designed to help students unpick how to answer comparison questions at GCSE. Starts by breaking down the question, including command words and key terminology. Then splits the answer “structure strip” style - I would usually model this under the visualiser. Students to then try applying the technique to two more examples.

Retrieval practice activity. Most useful as revision at the end of the topic as requires knowledge of all three bonding types. Each worksheet includes 5 pictures and the pupil must suggest how each picture links to the topic. Standard version are slightly easier to link to the topic (e.g. covalent bonding diagram for water). Hard version more conceptually challenging (e.g. pictures showing transfer, sharing etc)

Worksheet set out in the IDEAL structure to cover the titration required practical. Exam question for Link section is from exampro. I - Identify the equipment D - Describe the method E - Explain the method A - Analyse the results L - Link to exam question
