Lesson power point, worksheet and teacher notes to show the properties of polymers and to relate these to the structure of their polymer chains. Useful for high ability KS3 or medium ability KS4 chemistry. Links rigidity, strength and melting points to the idea of length of polymer and cross links. Spaghetti demo showing effects of chain length and cross links for cooked then dried samples. Uses polymorph a low mpt plastic that can be melted in hot water and hand moulded. then investigates effects of a load on strips of plastic bags to show stretching as the chains slip over each other, longer chains = more strength.

Pupils have 3 minutes to come up with as many words as possible using the letters, they do not have to use all the letters in their words. A bonus can be given if they find the 9-letter word. Click on the Select new word button to automatically create a new 3x3 grid of letters from a new 9-letter word. Click on the Go button to start the 3-minute timer. A horn will sound at the end of the 3 minutes. To display the 9-letter word click on the reveal the 9-letter word box. The game requires macros to be enabled within Power-point to allow the automated features to work.

A spreadsheet to track English Reading and Writing skills. 9 Reading and 9 Writing skills are tracked for each pupil. Teachers grade pupils upon a 1-4 point scale, each skill can be assessed up to 10 times in an academic year. The reading skills are: Read aloud with fluency, Comprehension, Language Terms, Structure Terms, Analysing Language, Analysing Structure, Relevant Quotations, Comparison, Response to Task The Writing skills are: Vocabulary Choices, Spelling -Common words, Spelling -Complex words, Clarity, Structural devices, Punctuation between sentences, Punctuation within sentences, Varied Sentences, Handwriting The spreadsheet will then generate a graded comment upon each skill for each pupil to go into a mail merge document which can be sent out to parents. Data from SIMS can be entered upon teaching group, forename, surname, Target Level, OPT Level at end of Key Stage, Gender, PP (Pupil premium status), MA (More able status), SEN status, reading and writing scores and reading age upon entry. The spreadsheet uses macros (Will only work with Microsoft Excel for Windows) that automatically sort with the click of one button pupil data to be sorted by cohort or by teaching group alphabetically, by target Levels, OPT Levels, Reading criteria, Writing criteria, reading age upon entry. This is useful if you or your staff are not very familiar with spreadsheet commands. The Word document included allows a mail merge to be carried out from the spreadsheet data to produce cohort and group reports which pupils can self evaluate to identify their strongest and weakest skill areas, what is interfering with their progress and how they can make improvement in the future. These documents can be used to show progression over time, aid closing the gap meetings, show intervention strategies in performance management meetings.
