This is a free sample of the Relative Atomic Mass calculations. 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 keystages/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. 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. 4. Word document containing just the answers. There are a total of 3 resource packs for the relative atomic mass calculations. This is Resource pack 1 and it is free. If you find Resource Pack 1 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-relative-atomic-mass-1-free-sample-11353809 2. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-relative-atomic-mass-2-11353972 3 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-relative-atomic-mass-3-11354416 I have also made a bundle which is available for a reduced price containing all of the resource pack for this type of calculation. This is available to purchase at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-relative-atomic-mass-bundle-11354433

Last lesson we looked at at the atmosphere as it is today and looked at two methods for determining the composition of the atmosphere. In this lesson we will see and learn how to do the calculations that scientists use to determine the volumes of gases. This is a simplified version of these types of calculations as my students had not yet come across moles or relative formula mass. This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGEgS0wJzE4&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=8 The worked answers can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSDRNfblHco&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=9 Extra questions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IEU940Z2Xs&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=10 I teach the AQA GCSE Chemistry course, including both double (8464) and triple (8462) award, and as such most of these resources will be specific to that course, however they may also be useful for other specifications.

I have been through the specifications for the new AQA Science qualification covering Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462) and Physics (8463). This resource pack contains just the CHEMISTRY, but I have also posted the others too separately to make it easier for you to get just the part you need. All the attached resources are either AQA documents or my shortened version of them. I have converted the PDF specification into word documents so that they are easier to use and then extracted smaller parts from these specifications to make them easier to quickly reference. For the Biology, Chemistry and Physics I have extracted from the main specification the required mathematical skills for each science, and the new required practical's. For the required practical's I have made a shortened version to be used as a quick reference.
