Worksheet designed for student being entered for higher exam to practice using rates graphs to describe a reaction, calculation of rate from gradient and the use of interpolation.
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.
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.
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.
Worksheet to go alongside a halogen displacement practical, space for students to research properties, record results, order the halogens by reactivity plus write word and symbol equations and explain reactivity in terms of atomic structure.
Worksheet for low ability students studying AQA GCSE Chemistry (teaching from 2016) covering key information on crude oil, hydrocarbons and alkanes.
Scaffolded worksheet introduces new key words, with fill the gaps and short answer questions - this works well as a good summary activity following discussion about what students already know about crude oil and the introduction of key ideas.
This activity also requires a molecular modelling kit to help students to visualise the alkane molecules (methane, ethane, propane and butane) and begin to recognise patterns in their names and formulae.
Worksheet designed for low ability students but could also be used as a shorter revision activity for other students.
This worksheet helps students to recall the test and result for alkenes using Bromine water - which can be demonstrated for students.
It also requires the use of molecular models to help students visualise the addition reaction that takes place when bromine reacts with an alkene and to model the different alkenes.
Scaffolded worksheet for students to independently research atomic structure and isotopes.
Initially designed for OCR Gateway Additional Science - C4.
Use alongside a text book or ICT equipment.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the structure of the atom.
2. Calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons from the atomic number and mass number of an element.
Worksheet to go alongside a practical to investigate the reaction between metals and acids. Designed for year 8 students, differentiated throughout to stretch the most able.
Worksheet is scaffolded so that students can:
1. Risk assess their practical including control measures and an evaluation of how well risks were managed.
2. Identify and explain control variables.
3. Record observations.
4. Use results to order metals according to reactivity.
5. Write word and symbol equations for reactions between metals and acids.
Worksheet with circus activity for students to identify evidence for when a chemical reaction takes place.
Differentiated and scaffolded through out for students to explain what a chemical reaction is in terms of products and reactants, plus word and symbol equations for simple chemical reactions.
Revision resource for topic 4.2 - Bonding, Structure and the Properties of Matter for AQA GCSE Chemistry (teaching from 2016), designed using the specification.
Students could complete with their notes, a text book or ICT equipment. Works well as a homework or in class using 2 colours of pen to show areas that they already know and didn't need to look up the answer for and another for areas they had to research. Best printed A3 size.
Worksheet designed for OCR Gateway Chemistry - C6c Redox reactions.
Scaffolded so that students can collect meaningful information while researching using text books or ICT equipment. Graded throughout using specification.
A good homework activity if short of lesson time towards end of Y11.
Scaffolded worksheet used with Low-mid ability students when first teaching ionic bonding and dot and cross diagrams.
Also includes short summary quiz.
Scaffolded independent research worksheet designed for P4h - Fission and Fusion (OCR gateway), graded throughout.
Students could complete tasks on worksheet using text books or ICT resources, or is also useful as a revision activity.
Worksheet for students to collect data from an experiment, use knowledge of specific latent heat equation and explain shape of specific latent heat graph.
Scaffolded worksheet to help students collect meaningful information about conduction, convection, radiation and energy transfer in the home, using text books or ICT equipment.
Can also be used to find out what students remember about energy transfers from KS3
