This contains 120 individual homework/intervention questions with associated model answers differentiated for foundation and higher tier with success and marking criteria included on the questions. The questions can be either self or peer assessed in line with the model answers attached. Also included is a booklet containing all the Physics equations required for the KS4 exams with worked examples for illustration. These equations are also broken down into individual lesson starters as a powerpoint.
Worked examples of the kind of calculations students can expect to face from A* - to very basic Grade E and above, included is.............
The use of moles in calculations: gases and solutions
Working out the formula of a compound using moles
Calculating the percentage mass of each element present in a compound
Working out the EMPIRICAL formula of a compound
Using balanced equations to predict the masses of reactants and products.
38 individual GCSE homework/intervention questions (Higher and Foundation), all the same format, including success criteria linked to the new specifications. Each homework question has an associated MODEL ANSWER. Both the question and the model answer have been formatted to fit an A4 page in exercise books. All are produced in WORD are are fully editable, so you can remove logos, week numbers, set own marking criteria etc. Included in this pack of questions and model answers is…

To support literacy across the curriculum and obviously Science in particular here, these sentence construction frames are extremely useful in a number of different contexts. Students find this quite a challenge but do engage with this in an extremely positive manner. A good opportunity for collaborative work.
They can be edited for differentiation purposes, with significant challenge for the most able and also access for the weakest/SEND.
They have been used very successfully as starters, plenaries, end of topic summaries, revision tools, homework and also extensions and they can be adapted for any topic across the entire curriculum from Yr7 to Yr13.
I have attached a number of examples with associated powerpoints to have up on the board as the students attempt the task, including.....
Limestone
Hydrocarbons, Fractional Distillation and Cracking
Radiation
Respiratory and Circulatory System
The Atom, Reacting Masses and Rates of Reaction
Transformers and Power
Save yourself some of that precious time, no need to trawl the interweb, use this package of Chemistry JPEGS (62 individual items) covering Yr7 - Yr11 Chemistry to support your presentations, documents, revision aids, classroom teaching resources etc.
This presentation covers aspects of the C2 and C3 Units of AQA Chemistry:
Collision Theory
Activation Energy
Factors affecting rates of reaction.
Endo thermic and Exothermic Reactions
Making and Breaking bonds
Reversible reactions.
Factors affecting the position of Equilibrium
The Haber Process
Basic Electrolysis
Explaining ions and electrolysis
Half Equations
Extraction of aluminium
Redox Reactions and OIL RIG
Electroplating
Electrolysis of Brine
A lesson originally put together for OCR 21st Century Science C1 (Foundation - weak students) with significant challenge but would be equally applicable for any exam board (AQA, EDEXCEL etc) to illustrate the concept of Cause and Correlation. Observed during inspection with this lesson. Very successful outcome.
Potentially dry topic. Use a clearly incongruous link, in this case ice cream sales and hayfever cases lnked to pollen count to illustrate the difference between a 'cause' and a 'correlation'. The graphs for this are in the attached powerpoint.
Once the difference has been highlighted, move on to collaborative work in the class with the attached work on nitrogen monoxide levels and hayfever and the instances of asthma in a given area. Graphs to be completed using the data on the sheets and the questions about the completed graphs also to be done.
Differentiated starter questions are also attached (D- B grade).
Presentation covering all the topics within the AQA Chemistry 3 Unit:
Calorimetry
Rates of Reaction
Energy Level Diagrams
Making and Breaking Bonds
Identifying Substances; Flame tests, Precipitation reactions etc
Hydrogen as a fuel
Alcohols
Carboxylic Acids
Esters
Titrations
The Haber Process
Reversible Reactions
Electrolysis of Brine: The Chlor Alkali Industry
Summary presentation of factors affecting the rate of a reaction including.....
Factors: Temperature, Surface Area, Pressure, Concentration and use of Catalysts
Activation Energy
Energy Level Diagrams: Endo and Exothermic reactions
Making and Breaking Bonds
Reversible Reactions
The Haber Process
Factors affecting the position of equilibrium
Simple summary with illustration of the Fractional Distillation column of what happens to the physical and chemical properties of the hydrocarbons condensing at different temperatures ie how the compounds change as they rise up the column and condense as they cool the higher up the column they go with lower and lower boiling points.
Basic summary sheet highlighting the differences between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, focussing on single and double bonds as well as the general formulae.
Worksheet for completion. Can be used as part of any lesson looking at the manufatcure of Salts, either as a starter or plenary or homework. Can be edited for differentiation purposes to stretch and challenge the most able.
