Do your students get nervous using the Bunsen burner the first time? Maybe you are the teacher start getting anxious knowing there is a lab coming up where Bunsen burners are used!
Try out my introduction to Bunsen burners activities - with a lab procedure included. These activities give the students the opportunity to earn a Bunsen burner license, having shown you they can act responsibly and work with confidence when using a Bunsen burner.
My students were particularly wary of Bunsen burners, especially after the pandemic, they had very few lab skills. This is a nice way to ease them in, and build their confidence - especially when it comes to changing the type of flame used (to start with my students are terrified of touching the collar on the Bunsen!)
By giving them a certificate with their Bunsen license at the end of the lesson, we are showing our students trust and ownership over what they can do in the lab - a big step up in responsibility!
So, what exactly do you get included in this resource?
- Optional booklet front page to print out if you want to present it to students as a booklet.
- An introduction to the Bunsen with some facts, followed by a diagram to label (words included) – this is scaffolded to also have a version with the first letters to help students out (alternatively you could get them to research the names on a device or show them a labelled image on your whiteboard).
- Top tips for Bunsen safety followed by a match up activity for the different flame colours produced by the Bunsen.
- Lab procedure for students to follow in order to get their Bunsen burner license.
- Bunsen burner license certificate (colour and B&W copy).
- Answers are included for any activities.
