A short practical activity for students to compare a carboxylic acid with hydrochloric acid. There is a starter included, full method and results table. My class particularly enjoyed the colour changes and extended this themselves in attempt to make a variety of colours.

Document includes full method for titration and making crystals, plus results table for titration readings. Page two is an equipment list per pair. I put this together when I was looking for a different titration to do with my Y11 Chemistry class. This uses methyl orange as the indicator. They need to be accurate with the end point otherwise they will make coloured crystals. We extended this by looking at the crystals we made under the microscope and making observations. The class found it more engaging than the usual titration work. Easily links in to discussion on the choice of indicator and can be extended to include % yield.

2 options. Full lesson. Includes starter, method, diagrams to refer to during the practical and differentiated plenary questions. Suitable to use for AQA required practical. Print sheet and give one per student. Second option requires the students to say why they are carrying out each step in order to prepare them for the exam. Prompts are given to help scaffold or can be removed for higher ability groups.

Full lesson on one sheet. Print the sheet and give on per student. Starter included on sheet. Full method and results table as well as balancing equations plenary. This can be linked to bond making, conservation of mass or balancing equations. Or use as an extension to bring all three together.

This gives a one sheet document that can be printed out and used by the class to complete the required practical. There is a sheet for both part 1 (disappearing cross) and part 2 (volume of gas). For part 1 I have included two options - the second slide is my preferred option and gives the students more guidance (this is the hand out that I used and it goes well along with the power point). Covers hypothesis, variables, the purpose of each step and conclusions. If you are only carrying out the disappearing cross practical then diagrams of the other possibilities are used in the plenary.

This document contains everything you need for a full hours lesson and practical. Includes starter reviewing knowledge of DNA, full method to extract DNA from kiwi fruit and differentiated questions to be completed during any down time. I printed these onto A3 paper, but could be used as A4 back to back. Space on the sheet for all work to be completed on it so no need for exercise books to get messy! Can be self, peer or teacher assessed using feedback box.

The first slide should be printed and given to the class (one each). This gives them the instructions using all the HP names for the the potion 'ingredients'. The second slide gives the equipment needed for each station and the real world names of the 'ingredients'. I used this with low ability Y8 but could easily be used for any lower school class (or possibly primary?) as a fun intro to Science or end of term activity. I designed these to fit into an hour lesson, with 4 groups moving around 4 stations. Add/remove or modify activities depending on class age/size/ability. Please risk assess for you individual class and school.

This is a lesson using flame tests that I put together for Harry Potter day. Students need to work out who has poisoned Dumbledore. I used this with Y10 who had not done flame tests before.
