NEW GHS Hazard Symbols

(28)
Since 2007 the hazard symbols used worldwide have been changing to these new pictograms. I have yet to see resources using them in schools. Pupils need to know what these mean and so I have updated some of the usual activities and collected together all the important images. Includes a powerpoint explaining in simple terms what the pictograms mean. hazard symbols, safety, laboratory, year 7

Useful layout of all the learning objectives from the spec for AQA chemistry. Pupils can tick off topics as they go along or use this as a revision tool that is slightly easier to use than the plain specs. I am using this for formative assessment to have pupils tell me which areas they are confident with.

History of the atom card sort activity

A great challenging activity, split your class into 6 groups, print out on six different colours of paper and gove each group the relevant cards for each scientist in a different colour. My medium ability year 7s were able to delegate tasks within their groups and so complete the whole puzzle in less than 10 minutes - meaning they could then answer the questions on the main card. Includes; Rutherford, Bohr, Democritus, Dalton, Thompson and Higgs so that dates go right up until October 2013, covering 2500 years of chemistry history.

Pupils work in groups to solve the challenge, use their own knowledge and that given in the resource to write a report to a construction company on which rocks they should use for different construction tasks. Print out all the pages and a set to groups of 3-4 pupils. 20 minutes to read the information, read the example report and to write their own. Lower ability groups will copy out the example with the correct rocks added in and the higher ability groups will write their own report from scratch.

KS3 Writing up practicals Levelled Markscheme

KS3 Writing up practicals Levelled Markscheme

(5)
Pupils are given this guide to writing up practical investigations. They can tick off each section after they think they have answered it, identifying what they need to do for each mark. Includes all common sections of a write up including hypothesis, method, diagram, graph, results table, context, analysis and evaluation. The resultant marks are added up to give a pupil a sub level based upon the number of marks they have achieved. This works very well for independent working as well as peer and self assessment after they have finished. I also find it very useful myself when marking.
