September is here and we’re heading back to the labs for another exciting year of Science teaching! But before we can get started with combustion, evaporation or even fireworks we need to ensure the safety of our classes and their use of a Bunsen burner. In this presentation we focus on: The importance of rules in the science lab. The difference between hazards and risks. How to write a risk assessment. The parts of the Bunsen burner. How to use a Bunsen burner (we often use this lesson to make s’mores and again think about the rule of eating and drinking in the lab). This presentation is aimed at Edexcel GCSE Sciences but could be adapted for younger year groups and other exam boards with ease. LEARNING OBJECTIVE Can I recall how to use the laboratory with confidence and professionalism? Subject content covered: 1.e. Evaluate risks both in practical science and the wider societal context, including perception of risk in relation to data and consequences. Safe use of appropriate heating devices and techniques, including use of a Bunsen burner. The presentation also comes with the resources needed to help students that may need a little support with drawing tables of information. All the best for your new year in the lab! I do not own any of the images in this presentation. Thanks Google!

In this lesson, specifically made to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III, learners use the scientific method to experiment the cooling rates of crystals and their sizes and relate this back to the formation of the gemstones on the Crown. Aimed at 11-18 with a Geology/ chemistry focus on making crystals. This lesson comes with: • A PowerPoint presentation • A word document of the workbook • A homework/ extension sheet • A PDF of the workbook for quick printing Lesson Title: Can I use the scientific method with confidence? Success criteria: • Can I define a crystal? • Can I collect quantitative and qualitative data? • Can I analyse a graph of data? Slides include: • Fun ‘do now’ investigation. Learners use molymods, paper and cellotape, lego bricks to make quick models to show ow time is important for the size of crystal growth. • Information about the two crowns; St Edwards Crown and The Imperial State Crown • The mineralogy of the gemstones of the Imperial State Crown • Revision pages on what a crystal is and crystal structure • Revision pages on how minerals are made through igneous rock, metamorphic rock, living organisms, alluvial deposits, and water • Introduction to the safe use of salol and its risk assessment • Learner notes on how to complete the salol experiment. In this experiment you will need 4 250ml beakers per group and 3 test tubes of solid salol. I used 2 spatulas of salol to recrystalise and this works well and gives learners the chance to measure the crystal sizes. Another way to do this is to prepare slides for a drop of salol to be placed. This often doesn’t work or give results that pupils can measure easily as the crystals can be hard to see. • A PIT STOP so learners can check their understanding of key words in the scientific method • A table of results and graph drawing exercise • How to analyse data • A quiz to finish to check leaner confidence and engagement throughout the lesson If you need any additional help with the practical set up or geology of this lesson, please do ask. I hope that all relevant information is given on the presentation. I am a postgraduate in geology. I do not own any of the images in this presentation but they were downloaded from sites for free. Enjoy the Coronation!

Set it as homework before the exams, as an independent task or play with your learners! Great for an end of year quiz! This project has been an incredibly labour of love which has taken many, many hours to complete. I know you and your learners will enjoy the challenges! Rounds include: • Pointless. The aim of the game is to score the lowest number of points, so learners should try to answer for the most obscure question. • Jeopardy. The aim of the game is to score the highest number of points, so learners should try to answer for the questions worth more points. If a team gives a wrong answer, award them 0 points for this game. • Family fortunes. The aim of the game is to score the highest number of points, so learners should try to give the most obvious answer. If a team gives a wrong answer, a life is lost.
