A complete revision guide that can be copied, distributed to students and used until fully published resources become available. Already tried and tested as a Christmas revision guide for year 9 students learning from the draft specifications, this 20 page fact based booklet adapts and extends the exam specification to support revision for assessments and tests. Covers:
Atoms, Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
Chemical Symbols
Word Equations
Ionic Equations
Half Equations
Changing model of the atom
Protons, neutrons and electrons
The early periodic table
NOW UPDATED TO INCLUDE - booklet of practice questions and answers for use and adaptation in school.
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!
The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist.
These resources have been prepared for the new GCSE science examination specifications that are new for first teaching in 2016.
Get ahead with year 9 or use to plan your schemes of work for September. Buy individual resources or a set of lessons.
Fully resourced with Powerpoints, worksheets and lesson activities and key facts and opportunities for improvement and redrafting throughout.
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 state:
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.

Worksheet on atomic structure and atoms and isotopes including challenge questions on isotopic abundancy and calculations of relative atomic mass (Ar).
Answers provided - word files and pdf files.
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).
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.
