Currently selling and providing free resources for all three sciences, predominantly for GCSE, although there are some KS3 and A level chemistry resources available. Lots of the resources focus on differentiation and exam technique as I feel there is a profession- wide weakness in these areas.

based on the AQA spec (reference included) - the first part of topic 10. Exam style questions with approximate 3 - 9 grades. The worksheet comes in 2 levels of difficulty for differentiation (harder and easier/foundation). Takes about 30 - 40 minutes. Answers in a separate document objectives: exam technique, maths, subject knowledge, scientific methodology good for: homework, part of a lesson, revision,cover, catch up sheet for absent students, part of an independent study if lesson time is short differentiation: two levels of difficulty - easier/foundation and harder

for GCSE chemistry/combined students. Could be used for either foundation or higher tier. objective: to define ‘allotrope’; to compare the structures and properties of allotropes of carbon; to relate properties to uses good for: full lesson as a staged task (after explanation or with a reference text); full lesson - the answers could be used as a collective memory task; homework; revision; cover; student that is out of the lesson differentiation: to 3 levels - easier more visual task, gap fill task, and free fill task Answers included

Ionic equation differentiated worksheets for chemical analysis, with answers

(0)
Ideal as a homework. Differentiated to lower, middle and higher abilities, each with a progress question of more difficulty. There is also a mixed worksheet, where all levels are present, if you prefer to use this one. The questions include chemical analysis testing, balanced symbol equations and ionic equations. Suitable for all exam boards. Answers are included for ease of marking.

New spec chemistry chemical analysis spot the mistake activity

(0)
all tests present, except flame spectroscopy, requiring that students spot the mistakes in each test, their results or their ions (all of them have at least one) and/or correct them. The resource also helps with exam technique, since the new style exam question requires that they state errors in practical investigations. differentiation: foundation or low ability could just circle the mistakes; higher ability also to correct them good for: homework, starter or plenary, part of a cover lesson/catch up sheet or if a student is out of class
New spec exam style question starter on catalysts
LawrenceLLawrenceL

New spec exam style question starter on catalysts

(1)
Starter based on real exam question and real responses as an Afl style activity. I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards suggested uses: Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect This could be extended to be the focus of a whole lesson, if you use the question as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds. Commentary on student answers are included.

Topic 10 (AQA) chemistry GCSE triple new spec 2 worksheets (differentiated): corrosion

(0)
Based on the AQA GCSE triple course (AQA and Edexcel references included), but could be used for any board. Students complete the exam style questions based on the corrosion of iron experiment. The questions are given approximate grades of 1 - 9: the harder worksheet is approximate grades 4 - 9 and the easier/foundation one is approximate grades 3 - 5. Potential answers are given in a separate word document. objectives: subject knowledge, maths, exam technique, scientific method differentiation: 2 worksheets of different levels of diffiiculty good for: homework, cover, catch up sheet for absent students; part of a lesson; part of an independent project if lesson time is short

surface area questions for GCSE higher tier

(0)
Covers mostly biology topics, but there is a chemistry and a physics application also. Questions are given approximate grades for differentiation. Can be used as a homework or cover lesson (or as a class activity) for exam technique purposes and consolidation of this all-pervasive concept. Potential answers included for ease of marking. Can be used for all specifications.

for KS3 or GCSE: naming the elements in compounds differentiated worksheet

(0)
the students have to state which elements and how many atoms of each at in the compound. there are 15 examples for them to try, getting progressively harder differentiation is at 3 levels: easier as described above, middle: the students attempt to name the compounds given the formulae as well as above; and harder: the students attempt to produce the formulae, given the name of the compound as well as above SUGGESTION: for KS3 - give only the first 10 examples ideas for use: I used as a homework, but also: part of your lesson; cover; catch up for absent students Answers included
KS3 new spec naming compounds (based on the SMART science course)

KS3 new spec naming compounds (based on the SMART science course)

(0)
I used this lesson with year 7's - hint: the main mistake the higher ability students make is not reading the first part of the sheet, which contains the information they need to complete the task. There is a teacher -led part where an explanation is given on how to name sulphides, etc and then the students have a go. Then, another teacher lead part to explain '-ates'. The students then have a go. DIFFERENTIATION: lower ability: tasks in red boxes middle ability: tasks in blue boxes higher ability: tasks in green boxes/on separate sheet for second part of the lesson OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRESSION: student can go on the next level task and middle/higher ability students are given a challenge . Timings given in the lesson plan are approximate.
