Breathing song - words to put on screen

Breathing song - words to put on screen

(0)
I wrote this song in the shower one morning. It just came to me. (Sing to the tune of Frere Jacques.) At that time I had a particularly joyful class who I thought would like it, as a bit of fun. However I have since used it with classes of all ages and all abilities. We have also done very simple actions. ( Not as popular with the older ones.) I have even witnessed students mouthing the words during an exam! I hope you have as much fun with it as I have done over the years.

12 dimple tray

Useful for keeping track of which chemicals you have put in a dimple tray. Have a supply to hand. Also good for drawing what was seen down a microscope for a series of slides.
Graph paper - big with axes

Graph paper - big with axes

(0)
Useful for less able students who struggle to draw axes and identify where to put the numbers. Don’t be put off by the formatting on the preview, it downloads and prints off fine.
Osmosis - naked eggs in golden syrup

Osmosis - naked eggs in golden syrup

My GCSE classes always like this. If you use good quality free range eggs they will last longer. The shells take longer to dissolve than cheap ones but the membranes are stronger so less likely to break. The syrup can be reused as often as needed for one set of eggs. It will get thinner but it still works. When the eggs are past their best dispose of them and the syrup as well. Each year when you teach this you will need a new set of eggs and a new jar of golden syrup.
Osmosis in jelly sweets

Osmosis in jelly sweets

Instructions for setting up practical to show osmosis to GCSE classes. Use small beakers rather than boiling tubes. I’ve done both but sweets get stuck in boiling tubes. Take care not to leave for too long. One lesson until the next works fine. Store covered in a cool place to reduce risk of microbial growth. Any jelly sweets will work but my classes preferred teddies although Minions were quite popular!
