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.
Revision resource for topic 4.4 - Chemical Changes 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.
Worksheets for Y7 energy topic - Gravitational and Elastic Potential Energy
Worksheet 1, GPE, gets students thinking about the energy changes that occur when a bouncy ball is dropped.
Worksheet 2, Bouncy balls investigation, is scaffolded so students can carry out their own investigation into drop height and bounce height. Differentiated conclusion with numeracy extension for most able.
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.
Revision resource for topic 4.3 - Quantitative Chemistry 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.
Answers included on answer sheet for numerical problems.
Scaffolded worksheet used with Low-mid ability students when first teaching ionic bonding and dot and cross diagrams.
Also includes short summary quiz.
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.
Revision resource for topic 4.1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic table 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.
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.
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.
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.
Designed for new Year 7 curriculum to go alongside demonstrations of lung dissection and using the bell jar and balloons model to represent the breathing system.
Worksheet give students opportunity to consolidate their knowledge and could be used alongside a text book for more independent work.
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 for students to collect data from an experiment, use knowledge of specific latent heat equation and explain shape of specific latent heat graph.
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.
Worksheet that was used as short homework for topic C6 of OCR Gateway Chemistry B so that students were prepared for a subsequent lesson on how fuel cells work (1sided, see preview)
Method cards for food tests: fats, protein, sugars and starch.
Higher and lower worksheets for students to record the method for each test plus the outcome of carrying out each test.
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.
