This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 students who are studying pollution, combustion, the impact of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide and the carbon cycle. This resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria. 4. Word document containing a mark scheme. 5. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 6. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task. 7. jpeg image showing a hand-drawn version of the carbon cycle which has been inserted into the powerpoint, but may also be useful for students who aren’t confident in laying out their work. This is based on an old AQA Chemistry Exam Paper. This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE. This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system…

This lesson sets the students off on a research task to find out about the BIG five pollutants in our atmosphere and where the come from.

This is the first lesson in the topic ‘The Environment and the Atmosphere’ This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtfJMOIoPFg In this lesson I discuss some theories of what the Earth and its atmosphere may have been like in the past, and set a task for students to create a storyboard of how the atmosphere has changed over time. The review work set in this lesson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF81ReGLz4w&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=3&t=198s Links mentioned in the video:- GCSE BBC Bitesize My Favourite one Primoridal Soup These can all be found at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQqpdTTanY9189wmlA5TIW2_nTaWl-Fj 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.

This is the second lesson in the topic ‘The Environment and the Atmosphere’ In the previous lesson I discussed some theories of what the Earth and its atmosphere may have been like in the past, in this lesson we look at the evidence that has been used to prove this, and look at jobs in science too!

In lesson 1 & 2 we looked at how the atmosphere has changed over a long period of time and the evidence that has been used to prove that. In this lesson we will look at the atmosphere as it is today and look at two methods for determining the composition of the atmosphere. This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRNodyQNQoE&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=5 A follow up video of student questions can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycBCQDUjoA4&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=6 The review of work set in this lesson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMjofcBkPB8&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=7 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.

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.

Last lesson we looked at the carbon cycle i.e. how carbon is reused and recycled in our atmosphere and planet. In this lesson we will learn about Greenhouses Gases and where they come from. This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGRDuexmoxY&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=13 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.

Last lesson we looked at Greenhouses Gases and where they come from. In this lesson we will learn about how those greenhouse gases contribute to the Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDQEJuePIfw&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=14 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.
