Easy Progress 8 training covering performance and tracking suitable for a whole school inset session

(0)
An easy session with worked examples to provide as much information as most staff need to know for the transition to progress 8. This training session predicts the end of the flight path and while not offering concrete alternatives helps your staff to understand exactly what goes into the measure that their performance is now judged against. Three case study worksheets with marksheets help staff to work out for themselves the progress 8 scores. These should be accompanied by the download of the most recent KS2 to GCSE performance tables from the DfE (not included).

AQA A-level Chemistry - glossary and mind map activity for atomic structure and amounts of substance

(0)
Mind maps linking key definitions for new specification AQA A-level Chemistry Unit 3.1.1 Atomic Structure Unit 3.1.2 Amount of substance Cut and stick a comprehensive glossary onto a pre-prepared mind map showing the connections between the concepts and definitions in the topic. How many marks do your students lose because they cannot correctly interpret the question or use the incorrect terminology in the definitions? This activity is best printed A3 so the definitions can be easily read. Students can then prepare their own mind map definitions sheet by cutting and sticking the relevant definitions onto the mind map. Make it more or less difficult by adjusting the mind maps to contain more or less information to help them.

New AQA A-level Chemistry foldable FLASH CARDS of definitions for ALL year 2 topics

(0)
Support your students to learn the definitions they need for all the year 2 A-level only topics in the new specification A-level chemistry! Each word document contains definitions that can be cut, individually folded over and used to revise or learn the accepted AQA definitions of key words and concepts for every topic. Students should print the sheets in A3 or A4 and then cut each definition into a strip. Fold over and glue together to give a robust card. Shuffle and test yourself or each other. Keep each topic separate or mix it up, the units are marked on each card so they can easily be re-sorted. Fold and laminate for a longer lasting set. Good for starter activities, revision and test yourself! This resource contains definitions for: 3.1.8 Thermodynamics 3.1.9 Rate equations 3.1.10 Equilibrium Constant Kp 3.1.11 Electrode potentials and electrochemical cells 3.1.12 Acids and bases 3.2.4 Properties of period 3 elements and their oxides 3.2.5 Transition metals and 3.2.6 ions in aqueous solution 3.3.7 Optical isomerism 3.3.8 Aldehydes and ketones 3.3.9 Carboxylic acids and their derivatives 3.3.10 Aromatic chemistry 3.3.11 Amines 3.3.12 Polymers and 3.3.13 amino acids and DNA 3.3.15 NMR 3.3.16 Chromatography and infrared spectroscopy

This electrolysis resource is free for a limited time only so please download and make use of it - in both PDF/Word formats with an answer sheet showing the expected results. 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.
