Covers all of Chem4 These google forms are designed to allow you to either print or mail direct to you students and they can self assess what they know against the required specification. When completed either within the email or in an internet browser (works perfectly on mobile devices) the evaluation from the class is sent directly back to you where a breakdown of the responses is built into the form. (responses - summary of responses). **UPDATE** Digital gforms are linked to in the word document only Each form only takes pupils a few minutes to fill out and are much quicker than traditional Red/amber/green self assessments. Ideally complete after the lesson is taught, at the beginning of any revision period and at the end of a revision session.

Pupils use a comprehensive card sort activity to explain what happened the night f the fire. Pupils have a large number of events and will learn about the problems associated with combustion. Also includes avery simple picture guide to the Controlled assessment for the candles in the beakers.
