AQA 9-1 GCSE Chemistry - Unit 1 - Complete Revision Guide UPDATED to include practice questions

(0)
A complete revision guide that can be copied, distributed to students and used until fully published resources become available. Already tried and tested as a Christmas revision guide for year 9 students learning from the draft specifications, this 20 page fact based booklet adapts and extends the exam specification to support revision for assessments and tests. Covers: Atoms, Elements, Compounds and Mixtures Chemical Symbols Word Equations Ionic Equations Half Equations Changing model of the atom Protons, neutrons and electrons The early periodic table NOW UPDATED TO INCLUDE - booklet of practice questions and answers for use and adaptation in school. 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! The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist. These resources have been prepared for the new GCSE science examination specifications that are new for first teaching in 2016. Get ahead with year 9 or use to plan your schemes of work for September. Buy individual resources or a set of lessons. Fully resourced with Powerpoints, worksheets and lesson activities and key facts and opportunities for improvement and redrafting throughout.

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. Fully resourced with Powerpoints, worksheets and lesson activities and key facts and opportunities for improvement and redrafting throughout.

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.

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
