AQA AS-level Chemistry 2015 specification for printing on dividers to give to students (CHECKLISTS)
AS specification
I printed the specification onto dividers and then handed them out to students - they can mark off when the content has been taught.
Students really liked the checklist - especially for when they are ill, absent, revision and in particular to separate out work when taught it in class.
I used different coloured card (dividers) to print it onto to help students identify different parts of the course.
All hand typed and required practicals are highlighted for easy viewing
Includes :
Organic Chemistry 1
Inorganic Chemistry 1
Physical Chemistry 1
