Structure of the Earth

(0)
Structure of the Earth construction and research task. (approx 3-4 hours of lesson time, less if construction is set for home work.) Task 1: Independent task: Worksheet to guide students through researching the structure of the Earth, using text books or ICT equipment. Originally designed for OCR Gateway science B and is graded using the specification. Double sided worksheet. Task 2: Modelling task: Students design and build their own model to demonstrate the structure of the Earth and continental drift theory. Double sided worksheet is structured so that students can: 1. Plan how they will construct their model, materials used and how it helps explain the science. 2. Self evaluate - guided with questions. 3. Peer evaluation following presentation of the model to another group -3 x What went well and 2 x Even Better if which students can then act on. 4. Reflection on what other groups models have taught them.

Reactions of Acids

3 Resources
Worksheets for Y8 scheme of learning, to accompany classic class practicals on reactions of acids with metals and metal carbonates, plus scaffolding for students to complete a full investigation in to the reaction of antacids with acid.
Calorimetry - Burning Fuels
amesbeeamesbee

Calorimetry - Burning Fuels

(0)
Worksheet to go alongside calorimetry experiment comparing energy per gram of fuel for different length hydrocarbons. Work is scaffolded for students to discuss control variables and hard to control variables, which acts as good practice for controlled assessments. Following completion of a calorimetry practical students calculate energy transferred and energy per gram using the key equations plus rearrangement of equations. Students are extended through link to exothermic energy profiles. Designed for students entered into higher exam for OCR Gateway Additional Science B / OCR Gateway Chemistry B, and is graded according to specification.
Copper Extraction - Displacement and Electrolysis
amesbeeamesbee

Copper Extraction - Displacement and Electrolysis

(0)
Double sided worksheet for students to record the equipment used, their observations and scientific explanations when they carry out 2 reactions: 1. Displacement of copper from copper oxide, using carbon. 2. Purification of copper by electrolysis. Originally designed for OCR gateway science B and is graded using this specification. (grades C-A*). As both reactions take time it is worth students setting up their practicals and completing the worksheet tasks as the experiments run.
