Unit 2-Practical scientific procedures and techniques Learning aim C: Undertake chromatographic techniques to identify components in mixtures. For many of my students this was the first time they needed to write a scientific report i thus produced a guide for this learning aim. This was a huge success and i had the pleasure of marking some beautifully written reports. The relevant P/M/D criteria for this learning aim have been covered within this guide. I’ve also attached the specification and assignment briefs so you can have it all in one place. Best of all enjoy it all for free :)

C13-The Earth’s atmosphere-History of our atmoshphere lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a mixed ability year 11 separates class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: slide animations, embedded videos, and homework with answers as well as a interactive review task. If for any reason the video link does not work, a URL has also been included in the notes. For further enquiries please email paperfriendlyresources@gmail.com AQA spec link: 4.9.1.2, 3 Theories about what was in the Earth’s early atmosphere and how the atmosphere was formed have changed and developed over time. Evidence for the early atmosphere is limited because of the time scale of 4.6 billion years. One theory suggests that during the first billion years of the Earth’s existence there was intense volcanic activity that released gases that formed the early atmosphere and water vapour that condensed to form the oceans. At the start of this period the Earth’s atmosphere may have been like the atmospheres of Mars and Venus today, consisting of mainly carbon dioxide with little or no oxygen gas. Volcanoes also produced nitrogen which gradually built up in the atmosphere and there may have been small proportions of methane and ammonia. When the oceans formed carbon dioxide dissolved in the water and carbonates were precipitated producing sediments, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. No knowledge of other theories is required. Students should be able to, given appropriate information, interpret evidence and evaluate different theories about the Earth’s early atmosphere. 9.1.3 Algae and plants produced the oxygen that is now in the atmosphere by photosynthesis, which can be represented by the equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen Algae first produced oxygen about 2.7 billion years ago and soon after this oxygen appeared in the atmosphere. Over the next billion years plants evolved and the percentage of oxygen gradually increased to a level that enabled animals to evolve.

C12-Using Earths resources-Reduce, reuse and recycle lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1).

NB: an article has been attached for those students who are really intrested in the statistics, a great stretch and challenge activity. AQA spec link: 4.10.2.2

Attached is the sample assessment material on UNIT 1 For the NEW (2016) BTEC applied science specification. I have given my students each a copy of the sample paper (w/o mark scheme) for an open book assessment, in preparation for their mocks but you can use it is as a class test. For ease of use i converted the PDF file into a word document which i have also attached. It was very fiddly to find this on the pearson website and i dislike editing pdf documents so i hope it has saved you some hassle. Please leave a review to let me know if it was useful or how you used it in your lesson.

Always helps to have a copy of this in the back of students exercise books.

I've attached an applied science-revision checklist. It's essentially a copy of the Pearson applied science specification-I've just broken it down and chunked relevant topics. I have handed this to students so they can use it as a revision tool. Hope it helps. I've also made a checklist for the Biology and Physics unit.

Every year we have students that have gone above and beyond within our classes however, they aren’t always acknowledged in reward assemblies because of the large pool of students they are competing against. Most of the certificate templates I found online were either over complicated, childish or both. Students in secondary school wish to be treated as young adults hence, I have created a sophisticated certificate, one that students would be proud to take home. Reward the students in your chemistry classes for their achievement and effort using these certificates, download for free and edit away! If you like this certificate but don’t teach chemsitry, edit away! P.S I have attached PDF and Word doc versions, I recommend you print your certificates as PDF.

This worksheet has been created in accordance to the NEW AQA specification (2018) for the Structure and Bonding Topic (C3) It summarises all the types of bonding that students are required to know for their GCSE’s in one simple table. Easy to differentiate for high and low ability students. Check out the lesson I used this worksheet where the answers have also been provided: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-new-specification-bonding-summary-c3-12352310 AQA spec link: 4.2 4.2 Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter. Chemists use theories of structure and bonding to explain the physical and chemical properties of materials. Analysis of structures shows that atoms can be arranged in a variety of ways, some of which are molecular while others are giant structures. Theories of bonding explain how atoms are held together in these structures. Scientists use this knowledge of structure and bonding to engineer new materials with desirable properties. The properties of these materials may offer new applications in a range of different technologies

Unit 2-Practical scientific procedures and techniques Learning aim D: Review personal development of scientific skills for laboratory work. How did i teach this? This assignment allows students to review the skills they attained in this unit. It also reiterates the importance of H&S as well as professional practice. Before setting the assignment i first taught three lessons covering the content in Pearson BTEC national-Applied science-Student book 1. Due to the complexity of this assignment i provided my students with a template which covered the P/M/D criteria (download the free template). This prevented students from going off on a tangent and also ensured they had mentioned the key skills for both assignment B and C. NB: Personal responsibility is the first of the three lessons. Worksheets attached and videos embedded for ease of use.

This compatibility test was created for my BTEC chemistry class in order to assess their GCSE chemistry knowledge. It is comprised of past paper chemistry questions from the AQA spec. I have included both the test and the mark scheme. The new specification requires students to sit an externally assessed examination in January therefore, this a great exam practice. Includes slide animations, worksheets,and practice questions with answers on slides.
