Lesson power point, worksheet and teacher notes to show the properties of polymers and to relate these to the structure of their polymer chains. Useful for high ability KS3 or medium ability KS4 chemistry. Links rigidity, strength and melting points to the idea of length of polymer and cross links. Spaghetti demo showing effects of chain length and cross links for cooked then dried samples. Uses polymorph a low mpt plastic that can be melted in hot water and hand moulded. then investigates effects of a load on strips of plastic bags to show stretching as the chains slip over each other, longer chains = more strength. Blooms taxonomy and new NC Levels.

A tracker to record up to 20 separate test results and provide an analysis of the results. Caters for grades A-E, so is suitable for any A Level subject. Entering grade boundaries for each test the tracker will calculate %'s and show the grades for each student, their ranked position and a summary of all their test results and position overall in their teaching group. Allows up to 40 students to be tracked at a time. Individual student summary page can be produced that can be used when mentoring students or for parent evenings, showing their progress over the year.

NEW AND UPDATED A tracker for monitoring student progress in the new AQA A Level Biology required practical tasks for the CPAC skills INCLUDING THE SUB COMPETENCIES The tracker will monitor attendance for each student. Monitor the attainment of CPAC skills for the students in each RP activity. Produce a print out showing the individual performance of each student showing the CPAC skills they have acquired from each RP activity. The tracker can be modified to match the RP activities for Chemistry and Physics by changing the RP titles and use of apparatus criteria on the Titles sheet.
