Interpreting Rate of reaction Graphs

(0)
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.
Reactions of Acids

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.
Halogens Research and Investigation
amesbeeamesbee

Halogens Research and Investigation

(0)
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.
Crude Oil and Alkanes Worksheet
amesbeeamesbee

Crude Oil and Alkanes Worksheet

(0)
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.
Alkenes worksheet
amesbeeamesbee

Alkenes worksheet

(0)
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.
Atomic Structure and Isotopes
amesbeeamesbee

Atomic Structure and Isotopes

(0)
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.
Metals and Acids
amesbeeamesbee

Metals and Acids

(0)
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.
Chemical reactions activity
amesbeeamesbee

Chemical reactions activity

(0)
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.
4.2 - Bonding, Structure and the Properties of Matter Revision
amesbeeamesbee

4.2 - Bonding, Structure and the Properties of Matter Revision

(0)
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.
Redox reactions - Independent Research
amesbeeamesbee

Redox reactions - Independent Research

(0)
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.
