Foldable crude oil fractional distillation column. With extended answer question (differentiated)

(0)
Create a fractional distillation column which folds open to show the fractions inside. There is plenty of space to colour and for teacher autonomy. Fractions are folded inwards so can not be seen until the cover is taken off. Fractions then fold out. There is also an extended question sheet that is the correct to stick over the inside cover to stretch learners to explain what is happening inside the column. Included is a mark scheme (what points exam boards look for) and a differentiated key points sheet that could be given out or used instead of the extended answers. See photos included for how foldable is fitted together. Foldable pictures are B+W however could quite easily be printed in colour.

The resource comes with the template (that can be coloured and cut out) Instructions Photos of a model design so your students can see what it should look like. A student worksheet with various questions on it designed to test knowledge of the Motte and Bailey castle and even space for teacher feedback.

A quiz that you will be able to complete within a 1h lesson, with answers and answer sheet. Round 1 - what is the Christmas film animation Round 2 - name the Christmas song from the lyrics Round 3 - When was the John Lewis advert? Round 4 - who has Christmas Day first? Round 5 - naming reindeer. None of the rounds require use of youtube or external sites, as I am aware these are often blocked in some schools.

Physics gas pressure -10 must do demonstrations- practical T&L ideas and support.

(0)
The resource contains 10 teacher led demonstrations some of which students can also do, all focussing on the gas pressure laws (Gay-Lussacs, Boyles and Charles) and their relationships. The powerpoint also includes data students could plot to further understand the relationships. I have also included the foldable that students can use to further discover the relationships between temperature, volume and pressure. This can be used in conjunction with the powerpoint lesson ideas. I hope you find it useful especially if you a non specialist or you find yourself teaching this new area of the Physics curriculum.

Create your your own balanced diet plate foldable

(0)
A foldable designed to engage learners studies nutrient groups. The end result is the student having a fold out resource either in their books or as an external interactive version. There is space left on the sections so you as the teacher have autonomy to instruct your learners to fill in as you wish - I always make sure that when I teach it my learners have included the nutrient group name, functions, examples of foods which contain the nutrients . Also included are 2 worksheets. a factfile research task which could also be used as a homework and a visual hexagon activity in which students are required to make links between the pictures and to explain why each one is important.
