AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.1.12 Acids and Bases - Three lesson / revision workbooks and notes with answers covering the whole unit. These workbooks cover a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell note taking so the books can be used while you teach and students can add their own notes and ideas down the margin. Colour is used 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 all students but especially those who have dyslexia. The booklets can also be produced as a revision guide for the topic and contains all the notes and practice past paper questions you need to revise along with worked examples. Parent and student friendly also. These three work books are provided in word and pdf. Contents Workbook Part 1 - 21 pages Brønsted Lowry Theory - Strong and Weak Acids and Bases Acid Dissociation pH Calculating pH of strong acids The ionic product of water KW Calculating pH of a strong base Workbook Part 2 - 25 pages Weak acid dissociation constant Ka Calculating the pH of a weak acid Determining Ka by experimental methods Titration curves Indicators for titrations Calibrating pH meters Workbook Part 3 - 29 pages Buffer solutions Acidic buffers Basic buffers Calculating the pH of acidic buffer solutions

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! This resource contains definitions for: 3.1.1 Atomic structure 3.1.2 Amount of substance 3.1.3 Bonding 3.1.4 Energetics 3.1.5 Kinetics 3.1.6 Equilibria 3.1.7 Redox 3.2.1 Periodicity 3.2.2 Group 2 the alkaline earth metals 3.2.3 Group 7 the halogens 3.3.1 Introduction to organic chemistry 3.3.2 Alkane 3.3.3 Halogenoalkanes 3.3.4 Alkenes 3.3.5 Alcohols 3.3.6 Organic Analysis

An easy session with worked examples to provide as much information as most staff need to know for the transition to progress 8. This training session predicts the end of the flight path and while not offering concrete alternatives helps your staff to understand exactly what goes into the measure that their performance is now judged against. Three case study worksheets with marksheets help staff to work out for themselves the progress 8 scores. These should be accompanied by the download of the most recent KS2 to GCSE performance tables from the DfE (not included).

This powerpoint forms the basis of an interactive session I run every year for parents of year 11 students. We usually run one in October and another in February. The aim of this session is slightly different to a conventional lecture to parents which might focus abstractly on different techniques and on the websites that deliver content. These are easy to find by parents in a simple web search anyway. What I aim to do when leading this session is make parents revise. I try to show them what works, what is boring and doesn't work, what they are tempted to do instead of revise and most importantly when to spot these things happening with their child. The resources themselves are mainly a prompt to promote discussion and debate and to help parents to leave enlightened rather than full of a list of strategies and websites. It is also a really fun session to deliver. I tease parents by doing the "teacher thing" I tell them not to talk over me, I make them work in silence during parts of the session, and I ask them AfL questions using lolly sticks! Seeing the looks on the parents' faces is worth running the session for alone ;-) On a very serious note though, parents who have been through this training become very effective home study partners and the impact on work produced at home is measurable and rapid especially when supporting pupil premium parents who perhaps didn't receive this sort of support themselves.

This is an afternoon session designed with ITT and PGCE students in mind to support them if they are asked to write or contribute to a scheme of learning. It covers ideas on how to gather information in your new school and what to do with it!

This resource is designed to help A-level chemistry students get their heads around the multiple usage of the letter 'k' meaning Kc - the equilibrium constant Kstab - the stability constant of a complex Ka - the acid dissociation constant k - the rate constant
