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: Success criteria: Identify the products / reactants of an acid-base reaction. Describe how to balance equations. Explain why equations must be balanced. Powerpoint contains 21 slides. Some prior information is needed for understanding chemical formulae in the later parts of the lesson.

A Powerpoint resource that is ready to use out of the box. Contains KS3 and KS4 content, each of which is signposted per activity. Learning objective: Justify why containers become pressurised and explain its uses with water rockets. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: -State what is meant by pressure. -Describe how gas particles interact with the wall of the container. -Explain why each of the following increases pressure: Increasing temperature, Increasing the amount of gas particles, Decreasing volume of the container. This resource also contains a practical lesson, risk assessment, results (+ class results) and evaluation. Videos included of how to launch a water rocket. Contains 24 slides in total.

A beginner’s approach lesson to making bar and line graphs. Following the lesson, learners will be able to determine whether bar graphs or line graphs are necessary to represent data and will be able to construct these graphs independently. Learning objective: Evaluate the construction of graphs and tables… Success criteria: Identify bar and line graphs. Describe how and when to plot bar and line graphs. Explain why graphs are used. 7 Slides included.

Included is a html file which holds the code for a sound meter, functionality can be seen in the video linked here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLkyPn4nN5YfDTMdSgeRcWarPW5WGzxE/view?usp=sharing Are you still using a timer or stopwatch to help with behaviour management? Why not automate the entire process instead? Functions: Measures the loudness of audio from your device and registers the loudness according to: silent, quiet, talking and shouting. The meter will continue measuring even if the programme is minimised. A quietness meter can be toggled on/off to display score of the quietness visually. Scales of the quietness bar can be customised to suit classes. The values of duration at each loudness level can be reset if needed and recording of audio can be paused. Sensitivity of the meter can be changed as needed, reference values for each category is displayed. Seating arrangement below can be quickly setup by dragging and dropping the shapes above into the grid. Fixing the tables in the grid allows for pupils (represented by circles in each table) to be clicked and cycle through colours: green, amber and red. Colours can be used to highlight where key individuals are present in the class. Tables and colours can be reset as needed. The audio is not stored, only the loudness is measured and reported into the table for the duration. The programme is not able to store any audio files for later use.

Tired of copying and pasting the same information for each piece of BTEC documentation? The BTEC documentation generator helps reduce this task to a 2 minute job. Import your BTEC assessment plan as per the normal BTEC layout and populate the fields as directed. Obtain electronic signatures from each person mentioned in the plan (make sure to get their express permission before doing this). That’s it, you can then open the master copy for either assessment record sheets, internal verification documents or resubmissions and 90% of the work has been done for you, all you have to do is the part that matters, the grading. The document given has a science plan attached for reference, replace this with your chosen plan and the mail merge will do the rest of the work. This will work for any BTEC course.
