Support your students to learn the definitions they need for all the year 1 and AS topics in the new specification A-level chemistry! Each word document contains definitions that can be cut, individually folded over and used to revise or learn the accepted AQA definitions of key words and concepts for every topic. Students should print the sheets in A3 or A4 and then cut each definition into a strip. Fold over and glue together to give a robust card. Shuffle and test yourself or each other. Keep each topic separate or mix it up, the units are marked on each card so they can easily be re-sorted. Fold and laminate for a longer lasting set. Good for starter activities, revision and test yourself!

Mind maps linking key definitions for new specification AQA A-level Chemistry Unit 3.1.1 Atomic Structure Unit 3.1.2 Amount of substance Cut and stick a comprehensive glossary onto a pre-prepared mind map showing the connections between the concepts and definitions in the topic. How many marks do your students lose because they cannot correctly interpret the question or use the incorrect terminology in the definitions? This activity is best printed A3 so the definitions can be easily read. Students can then prepare their own mind map definitions sheet by cutting and sticking the relevant definitions onto the mind map. Make it more or less difficult by adjusting the mind maps to contain more or less information to help them.

Save time by avoiding the need for your students to write out lengthy sets of notes or draw diagrams. The complete unit work book includes spaces for marking and feedback including checked by teacher and verbal feedback given. Also leaves space to stick in improvement work or complete on the page. Could substitute for class books providing evidence for progress over time linked to success criteria. I write Professor Bunsen resources to teach and test in my own classroom and try to make the resources compatible with a lot of the ways in which we are currently being asked to teach science including feedback and improvements and redrafting. The new specifications are intensive on time, and I am testing out moving towards workbooks and away from ordinary class books. These could be differentiated towards your own students. I hope that I manage to make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time!
