A simple introduction to functional groups, ethanol, ethanol acid and esters. Straightforward powerpoint accessible to foundation tier that can be co-taught with the work book to support students in their first introduction in functional group organic chemistry. Workbook and powerpoint both cover: Part 1 – Organic chemicals and functional groups Part 2 – Alcohols Part 3 – Carboxylic Acids Part 4 – Esters Success criteria covered You should know what a functional group is and know what the functional group for an alcohol, a carboxylic acid and an ester is You should be able to interpret information about alcohols, carboxylic acids and esters You should be able to recognise alcohols, carboxylic acids and esters from their names or formulae You should be able to give examples of alcohols, carboxylic acids and esters and explain their uses

This powerpoint forms the basis of an interactive session I run every year for parents of year 11 students. We usually run one in October and another in February. The aim of this session is slightly different to a conventional lecture to parents which might focus abstractly on different techniques and on the websites that deliver content. These are easy to find by parents in a simple web search anyway. What I aim to do when leading this session is make parents revise. I try to show them what works, what is boring and doesn't work, what they are tempted to do instead of revise and most importantly when to spot these things happening with their child. The resources themselves are mainly a prompt to promote discussion and debate and to help parents to leave enlightened rather than full of a list of strategies and websites. It is also a really fun session to deliver. I tease parents by doing the "teacher thing" I tell them not to talk over me, I make them work in silence during parts of the session, and I ask them AfL questions using lolly sticks! Seeing the looks on the parents' faces is worth running the session for alone ;-) On a very serious note though, parents who have been through this training become very effective home study partners and the impact on work produced at home is measurable and rapid especially when supporting pupil premium parents who perhaps didn't receive this sort of support themselves.

Professor Bunsen Alpha Resources tailored to the United States NGSS. This resources is written for MS-PS1-1 and introduces a new character for the USA - Seaborg! Academic Standards - NGSS Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures Disciplinary Core Ideas DCI - PS1.A Structure and Properties of Matter Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. (MS-PS1-1). Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it. (MS-PS1-2),(MS-PS1-3). The resources are written by a post-doctoral research chemist from the University of Oxford turned secondary school chemistry teacher.

Required practicals will replace controlled assessment in the new GCSE. These record and worksheets are much more than a method. They are designed to track students performance towards achieving their apparatus and skills and provide information to help them understand the background chemistry which is key to understanding an experiment and not just completing it. All the sheets can be bound together in-house into a Required Practicals workbook/log book, or you could hand the sheets out separately. Practical work may be assessed through the terminal examinations - be sure that your students haven’t just done the practicals but understand them fully! AQA state: Practical work is at the heart of science – that’s why we have placed it at the heart of each of our GCSE science specifications. By carrying out carefully considered practical work, students will enhance their investigative thinking, improve their mastery of techniques and consolidate their understanding of key scientific concepts. Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time and support your students to understand the practical work in greater depth.
