I created YouTube videos with instructions and activities in, a demo of the practical and results that students can use to analyse. I also explain and guide them through the calculations:
Risk assessment: what and how to and guides students through how to write their own and what to include https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XRQfdqygTk&t=10s
Practical: includes explanation, demo, activities throughout - how to write up and structure a lab report and how to tabulate results and do the first lot of calculations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NqUFSO5Ck0&t=199s

AS Module 2 Revision Board Game on bonding, structure, properties, shape, electronegativity and polarity.
Students really enjoyed playing this game and it was an excellent way to revise.
Teacher will need:
scissors, printer, card or a laminator (so the playing cards last), counters (1 per student), dice (1 per group).
Included:
cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions with Qs and As
blank versions of cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions so you can adapt/write your own
board game
About:
This is a learner-led revision activity.
Recommended group size per board game: 4
Estimated time to complete game based on this group size: 50min - 1 hour (based on experience and length of student engagement). Game can be any length of time as winning is based on number of points rather than reaching the end of the board.
Rules:
Class to be split into roughly groups of 4
Each group to be given 1 board game mat, 4 counters, 1 dice and a set of 1, 2 and 3 point Q cards. They also need scrap paper and pens/pencils for working out
Each group can either nominate a reader for the Q cards or they may take it in turns to read.

Method, with link to useful YouTube video demonstrating the practical. Practical-based Qs testing students understanding of the steps in the method, answers at bottom.
Slightly different method for stretch and challenge - can run more than 1 chromatogram simultaneously and some extra Qs at the bottom relating structure to Rf value.

Overview of AS Chemistry revision workbook.
Answers attached. Useful for students to have a go at independently using their textbook and class notes, or from memory closer to the exam/mock. Teachers may also wish to use this during revision sessions together with past paper questions.
Include examiner comments at the end which state how to do well on breadth and depth papers.

A lab book created for Applied Science students studying Unit 2: Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques.
This can be used as an electronic lab book to store results and calculations or can be printed and issued to students at the start of the unit.
I created and wrote this booklet and delivered a session (lasts around 45min-1 hour depending which yoga sequences and meditation you choose to do) to a cohort of stressed out trainee teachers and staff just before the Christmas break. The session was well received and had excellent feedback with several people saying they found it really helpful.
The booklet starts with assessing your level of stress, looking at how you spend your week (divided into 30min sections) - this is a good opportunity to discuss and be able to visualise work-life balance.
The booklet then takes you through many ideas for stress management techniques, with a couple of mini activities including a page introducing the concept of a gratitude journal and a ‘meditation challenge’.
At the end are some books, apps, journal articles and contacts in case people wish to find out more.
The new year is a time when many people set resolutions or ‘intentions’, however, these can be set at any time in the year and are beneficial towards our personal growth.
Inside this short booklet are ideas of intentions (what habits/things do you want to create or release?) and how to go about choosing them positively (i.e. avoid negatives such as losing weight, how about 'eating healthier foods 70% of the time?)
There are also prompts and ideas for starting your own gratitude journal and plenty of things to complete to get you thinking, including how we can view our challenges in a positive light - what can we learn from them?
This booklet can be easily adapted if you wish to use it with a class, assembly, project, colleagues etc.
Student worksheet including introduction, method, space for them to record results, structured calculations and error analysis.
Created for the new BTEC L3 spec, unit 19 Practical Chemical Analysis.
Can also be used for A Level Chemistry, HNC or other analytical science courses.
Includes:
student worksheet with space to include results, readings and observations for each of the 3 stages, clearly labelled.
3 stage method, teacher and technician notes
structured calculations and answers.
This resource is a full lesson created for A2 Chemistry OCR syllabus which covers Kp, partial pressure and mole fraction. Includes theory, is interactive, plenty of questions and answers. Clear step-by-step guides to calculations.
The brief for learning aim A was not provided by Pearson, so this was written by me for assignment A of Unit 19.
Includes brief template, scenario and all criteria and tasks (ie write a PowerPoint to include… and create a typed document to include…).
NOTE -** this resource does not include practical method sheets/instructions.**
Created for A Level Chemistry and suitable for all exam boards.
Can also be used on any course that studies benzene and looks at it’s stability compared to that of the Kekule structure.
A ‘fun’ resource to check your student’s learning on redox and oxidation numbers.
These domino cards can be printed on card/paper and then laminated (especially if printed on paper).
Available in blue and creamy yellow for students with dyslexia.
Questions and answers
Designed for AQA A Level Chemistry but can be used for any other course on which students need to understand stereospecificity in enzymes
Some pointers and ideas to help you devise a method and practical for the new unit 19 applied science unit.
This practical is one of the 4 options for assignment B. I know that the use of IR for quantitative analysis is uncommon, but it can be done.
Find attached a journal article of a similar experiment and a short outline of a method (word doc). Journal is obviously not my own work, I have just uploaded these to help centres devise their own methods for this assignment.
I hope this is helpful for you.
Please take a look at my other resources :-)
Mixed organic past paper questions from OCR A which are readily available on past paper finder (still suitable for use for those studying other exam boards). Suitable for AS students.
