Water Chemistry (Hard and Soft Water and effects)

(34)
The learning Mat allows the students to work in groups to use the images to explain what is happening. I broke this into the 2 parts over 2 lessons. They write their ideas on post-its to stick on the learning mat and then use them to answer the questions. I have attached the answers so students can either self or peer assess. There is also a challenge question and the answer. The ppt has timers and objectives for the lesson. Hope you enjoy using the resource!

Water Chemistry C3

(23)
This is around 5 lessons combined in a PowerPoint and supported with a pupil booklet for the Water Chemistry section of the AQA C3 exam. The students annotated their booklets with key ideas as the lessons progressed. Their knowledge and understanding is then assessed with exam questions in the booklet as well as the answers to help highlight key points. The video clips were a great way of reinforcing the ideas learnt-I was unable to uplaod the water cycle song video clip but it's easily found via youtube!

The storyboard highlights how acid rain is formed, the problems it causes and help the students to have an understanding of why these problems occur. The students work in pairs and use post-it notes to write down what is being shown. The PowerPoint has 'clues' to help aid less able students to access the resource. After they have done this there is a structured worksheet to complete.

Electrolysis of Sodium Chloride (Brine)

(19)
This is a learning mat to get the students to understand the electrolysis of sodium chloride for themselves. The students work in pairs to go through the storyboard, writing on post-it notes what they see. They then complete the worksheet which can be self assessed. I have found that it gives them a better understanding of what happens at the electrodes and helps them to understand half equations much more easily.

Christmas Quiz

(11)
A great Christmas Quiz PowerPoint to use in class at the end of term or with your form. The 'name that tune' round needs you to play 4 midi files. I was unable to download them as part of the resource so I have attached the link to the website where I found them. Simply right click in the song and then 'save target as'.Choose whichever 4 songs you want. If when you open up the PPT the fonts look out of place you can either change them to fonts you have or download the ones I used. I used 'Frosty' 'Christmas' and 'Tinkertoy' (it just gives the quiz a xmas feel) Hope you enjoy using it!
