Carbon Monoxide

(0)
Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of Carbon Monoxide on health and discuss why this pollutant is of global concern. ✤ Explain why carbon monoxide detectors are used. Settler: Starter: Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMnaLKlVXxo Practical: Main 1: See worksheet. Main 2: Balancing equations activity in ppt. AFL: Homework Produce a warning poster on the dangers of improper use of gas fires in the home. A good poster will meet the learning objectives above and include explanation of any keywords used.. - examples on website

Sedimentary Rocks

(0)
Learning Objectives Be able to name some sedimentary rocks Explain the processes of weathering, transportation, deposition, sedimentation, cementation Use particle diagrams to explain cementation. Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Demonstration of sedimentary rock sandwich and metamorphic toastie You can do the transportation pipe demo but it isn't very good. Practical: Main 1: Main 2: EITHER: Pupils descibe the sandwich model and explain how it is different. We could compare each others answers to see wether we have learned this OR: Pupils undertake construction company exercise 15 minutes and 5 minutes of discussion at the end. Need to address issues with the vocabulary, many misconceptions come from geography. about weathering and erosion. AFL: Homework Metamorphic rocks worksheet

Combustion Practical

(0)
Learning Objectives ✤ To plan an investigation into the effect of volume of air on the time it takes for a candle to go out. ✤ To carry out an investigation Settler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwU3YL_SD70 Starter: Use common mistakes ppt. Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: This is the levelled task for this topic. We will be used to level along UK national curriculum levels you ability to carry out an investigation. The assessment is looking mostly for your ability to make links between the topics and explain both verbally and using diagrams. The levels available will range from a 3c (lowest) to a 7a (highest). If pupils have already achieved a 7c or above in the previous levelled practical they will be given the opportunity to use the GCSE criteria, these have much more criteria to be completed but will allow pupils to achieve grades rating from a FAIL to an A*.
Distillation of Air
RahmichRahmich

Distillation of Air

(0)
Learning Objectives ✤ Understand that liquids can be separated by distillation according to their boiling points. ✤ Describe the separation of oxygen and nitrogen from liquid air by fractional distillation Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Can show the oxygen in the jar demo with the water rising then ask the kids to explain why this demo does not show that the air is 20% oxygen as they are often taught but is due to pressure differences instead. Practical: Main 1: Use ppt. Main 2: AFL: Most pupils will struggle with the concept but can be used as an introduction to year 10 - use questions from year 10 textbook to assess. Homework

Hazard Symbols

(0)
All the modern hazard symbols covered by the curriculum gathered into one place. Images should be large enough for printing for displays. Check out my other resources for power points and worksheets related to these hazard symbols. display, safety, practical
Combustion CARD SORT/TIMELINE ACTIVITY

Combustion CARD SORT/TIMELINE ACTIVITY

(0)
Pupils use a comprehensive card sort activity to explain what happened the night f the fire. Pupils have a large number of events and will learn about the problems associated with combustion.\n\nAlso includes avery simple picture guide to the Controlled assessment for the candles in the beakers. I had these cut out and laminated so the pupils had to arrange their method themselves first for the controlled assessment.
