Last lesson we looked at at the how to do the calculations that scientists use to determine the volumes of gases. In this lesson we will discover how carbon is reused and recycled in the atmosphere and environment. This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMozRv0mc6Q&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=11 The review of work set in this lesson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_knKyiV0PM&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=12 The full resource pack for this including an automarker can be found at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/carbon-cycle-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11346610 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 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.

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.

This activity is about getting the students to think outside the box and to design a new item based on a new material that has an unusual property. I usually start the lesson by showing the students a youtube video on Accidental Discoveries by gzfraud. Which gives the students an idea of how many discoveries were made by accident. Then presenting them with the scenario shown on the Powerpoint. D30 is a product which uses the unusual property of ‘turning sold when hit’ to create a range of protective wear that can take large impact without it or the item its protecting being damaged. This activity is perfect for end of term as it can fit anywhere in a unit and provides a fun yet scientific end of term activity. The students enjoy it best when its done as a competition. This may also be appropriate for STEM days.
