Required practicals will replace controlled assessment in the new GCSE.
These record and worksheets are much more than a method. They are designed to track students performance towards achieving their apparatus and skills and provide information to help them understand the background chemistry which is key to understanding an experiment and not just completing it. All the sheets can be bound together in-house into a Required Practicals workbook/log book, or you could hand the sheets out separately.
Practical work may be assessed through the terminal examinations - be sure that your students haven’t just done the practicals but understand them fully!
AQA state:
Practical work is at the heart of science – that’s why we have placed it at the heart of each of our GCSE science specifications. By carrying out carefully considered practical work, students will enhance their investigative thinking, improve their mastery of techniques and consolidate their understanding of key scientific concepts.
Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time and support your students to understand the practical work in greater depth.

Worksheet on atomic structure and atoms and isotopes including challenge questions on isotopic abundancy and calculations of relative atomic mass (Ar).
Answers provided - word files and pdf files.
Mind maps linking key definitions for new specification AQA A-level Chemistry
Unit 3.1.1 Atomic Structure
Unit 3.1.2 Amount of substance
Cut and stick a comprehensive glossary onto a pre-prepared mind map showing the connections between the concepts and definitions in the topic.
How many marks do your students lose because they cannot correctly interpret the question or use the incorrect terminology in the definitions?
This activity is best printed A3 so the definitions can be easily read. Students can then prepare their own mind map definitions sheet by cutting and sticking the relevant definitions onto the mind map.
Make it more or less difficult by adjusting the mind maps to contain more or less information to help them.
Support your students to learn the definitions they need for all the year 2 A-level only topics in the new specification A-level chemistry!
Each word document contains definitions that can be cut, individually folded over and used to revise or learn the accepted AQA definitions of key words and concepts for every topic.
Students should print the sheets in A3 or A4 and then cut each definition into a strip. Fold over and glue together to give a robust card. Shuffle and test yourself or each other. Keep each topic separate or mix it up, the units are marked on each card so they can easily be re-sorted. Fold and laminate for a longer lasting set.
Good for starter activities, revision and test yourself!

3.1.8 Thermodynamics

Two GCSE chemistry worksheets with mark schemes covering metallic bonding and the properties of alloys and other substances.
Accompanying PowerPoint slides that can be incorporated into your lesson.
The resources are Worksheets 11-12 and Powerpoint 6 from my bundle on KS4 Bonding, Structure and Properties.
Parent and student friendly mark schemes so you can use these to support your learning.
These worksheets could be used for any exam board and for double or triple science and contain a range of challenges and space for feedback and reflection.
The scheme of work is included here so you can see how this fits into the unit and the other resources available. If you like these, why not check out the full bundle!
