A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to respiration including an explanation of the difference between respiration and breathing. What’s Covered Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs. Respiration is the release of energy from glucose. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to release energy from glucose. Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen to release energy from glucose and produces lactic acid which causes muscle cramps. Anaerobic respiration creates oxygen debt which must be cleared using oxygen and is why breathing rate does not return to normal immediately vigorous activity ceases. Yeast is a unicellular fungus that undergoes fermentation. Word equations for aerobic respiration and fermentation. Conditions necessary for fermentation.

A dominoes game with questions and statements game on separating mixtures including evaporation, distillation, fractional distillation, filtration and chromatography. Prior Knowledge Required The composition and physical properties of mixtures Evaporation to dryness and crystallisation Distillation Fractional distillation Filtration Chromatography What You Get 80 dominos Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play. Rules of the Game Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards. The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction. Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched. If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached. If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on separating mixtures including evaporation, distillation, fractional distillation, filtration and chromatography. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs. If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair. Please note – This pack is best printed in color. Included in this Pack 42 question and answer cards Teacher’s answer sheet.

With 42 question cards on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale), this is an enjoyable and challenging board game for up to six middle school players per set. It is suitable for all abilities. Included in this Pack Game board 42 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty Teacher answer sheet Instruction sheet. Preparation Photocopy Board onto A3 paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included). Photocopy question sheets onto paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included) and cut into question cards. How to Play Highest score of dice starts Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares. Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces. If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces. In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet. Prior Knowledge Required An acid is a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6. A base is a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14. Concentrated acids and bases are corrosive. Know that neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline. The pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14).
