Required practicals will replace controlled assessment in the new GCSE. These record and worksheets are much more than a method. They are designed to track students performance towards achieving their apparatus and skills and provide information to help them understand the background chemistry which is key to understanding an experiment and not just completing it. All the sheets can be bound together in-house into a Required Practicals workbook/log book, or you could hand the sheets out separately. Practical work may be assessed through the terminal examinations - be sure that your students haven’t just done the practicals but understand them fully! AQA states: Practical work is at the heart of science – that’s why we have placed it at the heart of each of our GCSE science specifications. By carrying out carefully considered practical work, students will enhance their investigative thinking, improve their mastery of techniques and consolidate their understanding of key scientific concepts. Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time and support your students to understand the practical work in greater depth.

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!

Support your students to learn the definitions they need for all the year 2 A-level only 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! This resource contains definitions for: 3.1.8 Thermodynamics 3.1.9 Rate equations 3.1.10 Equilibrium Constant Kp 3.1.11 Electrode potentials and electrochemical cells 3.1.12 Acids and bases 3.2.4 Properties of period 3 elements and their oxides 3.2.5 Transition metals and 3.2.6 ions in aqueous solution 3.3.7 Optical isomerism 3.3.8 Aldehydes and ketones 3.3.9 Carboxylic acids and their derivatives 3.3.10 Aromatic chemistry 3.3.11 Amines 3.3.12 Polymers and 3.3.13 amino acids and DNA 3.3.15 NMR 3.3.16 Chromatography and infrared spectroscopy

AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.1.10 Amines - Lesson or Revision workbook and notes with answers This workbook covers a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell Style note taking so the books can be used while you teach and students can add their own notes and ideas down the margin. I have used colour consistently for the different types of sections to make the booklet more dyslexia friendly as I have found that chemistry notes and questions can often be very dense, and somewhat inaccessible for students who have dyslexia. The workbook can also be produced as a revision guide for the topic and contains all the notes and practice past paper questions you would need to revise along with worked examples. Parent and student friendly. This booklet is 20 pages long with answers to past paper questions provided at the back from page 16 onwards. It is provided in word and pdf. Contents Amine functional group Naming amines with alkyl chains and naming priorities in organic chemistry Preparation of amines by the reaction of ammonia with halogenoalkanes Preparation of aliphatic amines by reduction of nitriles Preparation of aromatic amines by reduction of nitro compounds Basic properties Reactions with acyl compounds and acid anhydrides
