Back to School Reflective Question Cards Included in this resource: 24 Question Cards (8 cards per side of A4 = 3 page document) The questions support and scaffold a conversation with a child (or between peers) around the upcoming school year. Questions link to achievements, relationships with peers and staff, trips, clubs, thoughts on lessons / subjects and feelings around the school year starting. These cards can be used 1:1 or in a group setting to guide conversation and positive reflection. I have found them to be a nice way to start off the school year and I have mostly used them in the first couple of weeks. The questions are quite broad so link to a wide age range. There may be American English spellings in this resource. Thanks!

Introduction to Aldehydes Activity Included in this resource: Information page - This page covers the structure, bonding, naming, reactivity, oxidation, reduction and physical properties of aldehydes to an introductory level. It is a simple overview of aldehydes for a first time learner. Prior knowledge on hydrocarbons and atomic structure e.g. electrons and electronegativity is required, however no prior knowledge on aldehydes is required to access the material. Question sheet - This page includes questions directly linked to the information page. Students extract knowledge from the information page and build on concepts e.g. naming aldehydes, identifying trends and commenting on bonding and reactivity. Answer page - The answer page answers all the questions present in the question sheet. Ideal for independent, student-led work (i.e. could be used for a substitute teacher) as all the information and answers are present in the resource. No accompanying books or presentations are required - no further preparation needed. File included: 3 page A4 document

Chemical Bonding Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the chemical bonding unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around ionic, simple covalent, giant covalent and metallic bonding, with a selection of questions from each bonding type. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Which types of elements undergo covalent bonding? Why do simple covalent substances have a low boiling point? Describe how positive and negative ions are held together Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.
