Amylase experiment
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Amylase experiment

(0)
This is an experiment designed to test the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. The experiment is designed to link with the IGCSE Biology course. The activity also includes plotting of experimental results and questions designed to test understanding of enzyme activity.
Electron Configuration
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Electron Configuration

(0)
This powerpoint presentation outlines for A-level students how to develop electron configurations for the elements. It also outlines the shapes of the orbitals associated with these electron configurations.
Rates of Reaction
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Rates of Reaction

(0)
This activity is divided into 4 parts each activity involved one of the components of rates of reactions - size, concentration, temperature and catalysts. The activity involves graphing data and then explaining the plot using rates of reaction theory. Students graph data and then apply this information to collision theory to explain observed data. The activity also includes hint sheets to assist students.
Work Booklet Chemistry - Groups 1 and 7
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Work Booklet Chemistry - Groups 1 and 7

(0)
This booklet is designed to test student understanding of the periodic table and in particular, groups 1 and 7. The activities in the form of questions and practical exercises are designed to link electronic structure with the properties of the elements. Balancing of equations and explantation of experimental results is also involved.
Projectile Motion

Projectile Motion

(0)
This lesson incorporates a powerpoint presentation designed for senior physics. The presentation contains worked examples and individual learning tasks to assess students understanding of the topic of projectile motion.
SUVAT Equation practise tasks
doctorharvesdoctorharves

SUVAT Equation practise tasks

(0)
This resource is in the form of a powerpoint which works through various problems involving applying the SUVAT equations. Designed with AS physics in mind the tasks are designed for the class to work through each problem.
Mass energy equations in nuclear physics

Mass energy equations in nuclear physics

(0)
This senior physics equation introduces the concept of mass energy and how we can use the equation E=MC2 to make calculation about energy released in nuclear reactions. The lesson in the form of a power point includes worked examples and also student activities to test learning.
Periodic Trends - atomic Radii
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Periodic Trends - atomic Radii

(2)
This A-level powerpoint presentation outlines how the atomic radii of the elements change across the periods and down the groups and discuss the reasons and justifications for these trends.
Gas Exchange
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Gas Exchange

(0)
This lesson involves students examining the process of gas exchange through a digital presentation followed by an assessment task in the form of an exit card. The lesson is in the form of a Microsoft Office Sway presentation outlining learning objectives, diagrams and a short video. The presentation can be accessed below: https://sway.office.com/oSEdgW9sCCACrkmQ?ref=Link
How to use a bunsen burner
doctorharvesdoctorharves

How to use a bunsen burner

(0)
The presentation is to be done over two lessons. The first lesson goes over lab safety with an activity involving finding potential dangers in the lab. The next lesson involves the use of a bunsen burner to test for metals. The latter lesson involves students getting a bunsen burner drivers license by following safety steps. Once attained they test solid salt samples by the flame test. The other activity includes labelling the bunsen burner and using terms in sentences to reinforce learning. The learning objectives for both lessons are outlined in the presentation.
Forces revision game
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Forces revision game

(0)
This is a useful revision resource around forces and Newtons equations of motion. The activity consists of students cutting out and creating a series of cards. The students then work in groups of 3 - 4 to attempt to compete the task set on the cards. The fastest group wins. The task is 'I have, who has' Each card has a definition (I have) and also a question (who has) one student reads out a question (who has) and other students respond with the answer (I have) based on what cards they have in front of them. If the answer is correct then they read out the question on their card. The game is completed when all definitions are answered by the group.
Rates of reactions exercises
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Rates of reactions exercises

(0)
This resource is designed to practise graphing skills and data analysis around chemistry rates of reactions. Also designed to develop student understanding of results obtained using collision theory. The exercise consists of activities where students develop understanding of the 4 different ways to change rates of reaction - concentration, temperature, catalysts and surface area.
Chemistry-Trionimoes
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Chemistry-Trionimoes

(0)
This activity is similar to dominoes, just this time with 3 sides! The students cut out the trionimoes and try and build shapes by match sides to each other. The game has three levels of difficulty depending on the level of students. Questions are based on atomic structure and bonding as well as the periodic table
Rate of reaction trading cards
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Rate of reaction trading cards

(0)
Excellent revision tool for rates of reaction. In pairs, students cut out both sides of the cards and glue them together. Then as one asks the question the other tries to answer it. If you get an answer right, you keep the card. The one with the most cards wins! Designed for KS4 Chemistry.
Phase changes
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Phase changes

(0)
This task can be designed as an assessment or set as a task in class. The activity involves students determining the phase changes of water by correctly placing image in the right order. The activity can be extended by students developing a video using digital devices on what happens during phase changes with the activity as a prompt.
Plant and animal cells
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Plant and animal cells

(0)
An introductory powerpoint presentation on cells. The presentation illustrates the concepts of different cell types (animal and plant). Additionally, the presentation discusses specialised cells. Finally, the presentation includes student activities to ensure students have grasped the material and reinforce learning. The activities include a research task of linking the shape of a cell to its function and differentiating between animal and plant cells. Determine the difference between animal and plant cells. Describe how cells are adapted to their function.
Elements - assignment
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Elements - assignment

(0)
5 tasks the form of an assignment consisting of a series of questions designed to test student understanding of atomic structure and how the periodic table is designed. Developed to investigate the first 20 elements and linking their atomic structure to the properties of these elements. Describe how the properties of the first 20 elements link to their position on the periodic table.
