<p>Scheme of work for an after school club, aimed at KS3 students. I tried and tested all of the experiments and they work well. Most importantly, the students really enjoy conducting them. It includes all original links to all sources I used (worksheets, videos, etc.)</p>

<p>Precipitation reactions worksheet which, when laminated, can be used to conduct microscale chemistry experiments (5 different reactions). This is followed by the worksheet where students write word and balanced chemical equations as well as their observatons. Answers included.</p> <p>Specifications:</p> <p>Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Combined Science specification:<br /> 3.20 Predict, using solubility rules, whether or not a precipitate will be formed when named solutions are mixed together, naming the precipitate if any.</p> <p>AQA GCSE Chemistry (8462) specification:<br /> 8.1 Use of apparatus and techniques<br /> Use of appropriate qualitative reagents and techniques to analyse and identify unknown<br /> samples or products including gas tests, flame tests, precipitation reactions, and the<br /> determination of concentrations of strong acids and strong alkalis (links to A-level AT d).</p> <p>AT 8 – use of appropriate qualitative reagents and techniques to analyse and identify unknown samples or products including gas tests, flame tests, precipitation reactions.</p> <p>Edexcel International GCSE Chemistry (9-1) (4CH1)<br /> Appendix 6: Suggested practical investigations<br /> Test predictions of whether a precipitate forms when soluble salts are mixed.</p>

<p>This worksheet accompanies easy to set up experiment showing electrolysis of copper (II) sulfate and sodium chloride (brine). Answers to questions and pictures from the experiment included.</p>

<p>I went through 3 years of Edexcel Chemistry GCSE papers and put together a document with all the 6 marker questions. I referenced each paper so you can easily find the right mark scheme. These questions can be used as homework tasks, extension tasks and with the mark scheme for peer assessment. The document consists of both foundation and higher questions.</p>

<p>Easy homework or plenary task which requires students to consolidate their knowledge about separation techniques (filtration, evaporation, chromatography, simple distillation and decantation).</p>

<p>Easy homework which requires students to consolidate their knowledge about separation techniques (filtration, evaporation, chromatography and simple distillation). The second page includes labeled diagrams for less able students.</p>

<p>A set of matching cards which consists of the following tests:</p> <ul> <li>flame tests for metal ions</li> <li>tests for anions</li> <li>tests for cations</li> <li>tests for gases</li> </ul> <p>This resource can be used as a plenary or revision activity. I recommend laminating the cards before cutting them so they will last longer.</p>

<p>This Book of Achievements has been created to support KS3 students in their after school club sessions. It contains a list of tasks the students are supposed to complete in order to achieve Science Ambassador badge (you can choose your own reward in line with your school policy). The key words section focuses on literacy in Science. This workbook has been used with the following scheme of work <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-science-club-scheme-of-work-12015435">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-science-club-scheme-of-work-12015435</a></p>
