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 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.

Research task structured for students to use text books or ICT to research the role of pollinators and colony collapse disorder (CCD). Designed for a Year 7 Scheme of Learning. (1-2 lessons depending on ability of students.) Task 1: Students use ICT or books to independently research the questions and statements on the worksheet; encouraging students only to collect key information. It is worth setting a time limit. Task 2: Design an information leaflet, using the information collected in the research task and the success criteria on the worksheet. There is then space for this to be peer assessed and students can make improvements accordingly.
