This bumper resource is full of everything you need to help your students understand the first required practical in the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I use this with my Y10 students to help them make connections between the chemical changes topic and the making a salt required practical. The resource can be printed as a booklet or as individual resources. Included in the resource is:
What is a salt (Information sheet)
Naming Apparatus (Worksheet)
Generic how to make a salt (Information sheet)
Method tick sheet (Preparing copper sulfate crystals)
