Print onto A4, chop in half to A5. Keep a supply for pupils who just can’t draw a test tube.

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.

Print onto a sheet of 4 labels. Stick inside cover of exercise books. Alternatively print onto paper, cut and glue.
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

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!

Useful intoduction to Periodic table and how it fits together. Two versions on separate sheets within spreadsheet; first 10 elements; first 20 elements. Print landscape. Carefully cut into 3 strips. One per student to stick inside cover of exercise book.
