These are the resources for Chemistry unit C1.2 on limestone, quarrying, and the limestone cycle. QM stands for Quality Mark which is a levelled formative assessment based on scientific skills. HA= high ability LA= low ability In the powerpoints I use: -Yellow boxes- to show the students what to write in their books. - Blue boxes- for tasks that the students should do. I do not own all of the content in these resources, no copyright is intended, any offending resources will be removed.

This is the free version of an assessment for KS4 students who are studying hydrocarbons, fuels, alkanes, how number of carbons in a molecule affects properties, combustion, graph plotting and data handling. I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/energy-release-per-carbon-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11353565 The resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task, including a recap of naming alkanes and fractional distillation. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books; one version has just the task, and the other version has both the task and level ladder merged together on one page. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work. 4. Word document containing a mark scheme. 5. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 6. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task. 7. JPEG images showing a several hand-drawn versions of the graph, this may also be useful for students who aren't confident in starting to plot graphs. I've included sketches of the extrapolation of the data from the line of best fit, and highlighted the anomalous result This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, I have left these on however these can be so that you can use the old or new grading system.

This is the free version of an assessment for KS4 students who are studying limestone, building materials, matching properties to uses, thermal decomposition and method writing. I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/thermal-decomposition-of-carbonates-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11347047 The resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 3.

Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task. This is based on an old AQA Chemistry Exam Paper. This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE, or preparing students from writing pieces of coursework that require method writing skills. This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed some of these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.

This is the free version of an assessment for KS4 students who are studying sub atomic structure. I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/structure-of-an-atom-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11347791 The resource pack comes with several parts; 1.

This is the free version of an assessment for KS3, or low level KS4 students who are studying chemical reactions, specifically the reaction between metals and acids, this assessment investigates the link between the size of magnesium added to an acid and the volume of hydrogen gas produced. I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/model-cells-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11350637 The resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books with just the task on, there is also a word document with both the task and level ladder combined onto one sheet to reduce printing. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria. 4. Word document containing a mark scheme. 5. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students.

JPEG images showing a several hand-drawn versions of the graph, this may also be useful for students who aren't confident in starting to plot graphs. I've included sketches of the extrapolation of the data from the line of best fit, and highlighted the anomalous result. This involves the students plotting some given results on a graph, identifying variables, extrapolation from a line of best fit and evaluating their work. This task is suitable for KS3 students at level 3-7, however this could be adapted for KS4 students.

If you are doing an extended investigation with KS3 science students you could use these level ladders to give your students a level on their write up. I tend to use these sheets in lesson to get the students self assess or peer assess their own work.
