AQA GCSE chemistry - Unit 4 - Lesson 6 Acid and Alkali Titrations and Calculations

(0)
Resources to support teaching acid and alkali titrations, calculations and the GCSE assessed practical on neutralisation Success Criteria I can describe the steps involved in doing a titration I can identify the useful facts in titration questions I can calculate calculate the concentration of an unknown acid or alkali I can carry out a neutralisation practical to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or alkali. I write Professor Bunsen resources to teach and test in my own classroom. 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!

AQA GCSE chemistry - Unit 5 - Lesson 3 Bond energies and energy changes in reactions

(0)
Powerpoint lesson linked to workbook for the lesson with spaces for students to write answers, example examination questions and a mark scheme for the workbook. Save time by avoiding the need for your students to write out lengthy sets of notes or draw diagrams. The 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. Success criteria covered in this lesson are: I understand that an exothermic reaction is one that transfers energy to the surroundings so the temperature of the surroundings increases. I understand that an endothermic reaction is one that takes in energy from the surroundings so the temperature of the surroundings decreases. I can explain and evaluate uses of exothermic and endothermic reactions I can investigate the variables that affect temperature changes in reacting solutions such as neutralisation reactions. 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!

Could substitute for class books providing evidence for progress over time linked to success criteria. Success criteria covered in this lesson are: I can draw simple reaction profiles for exothermic and endothermic reactions to show their relative energies. I can annotate the reaction profiles to show the activation energy and overall energy change I can explain whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic using reaction profiles I can explain that activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.

Interactive revision session for parents! - Teach your parents how to help your students to revise

Interactive revision session for parents! - Teach your parents how to help your students to revise

(0)
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.
