These are lessons, assessment materials, resources and a scheme of work for the entire 1st year of the OCR A Chemistry A-Level Course (or the whole AS Course). However, can be adapted for other A-Level Chemistry specifications.

These are a selection of practical investigations for KS3 Science, suitable for use with the Working Scientifically section of the 2014 syllabus. Included are guidance for each investigation, a scaffolded investigation sheet, a mark scheme and a student challenge sheet. The investigations are designed to be easily marked and leveled using criteria adapted from APP guidelines. I intended to add to these over time.

This resource contains PowerPoints, workbook and assessments for Learning Aims A&B, the chemistry and biology sections of Unit 1 principals of applied science.

This task allows students to examine and evaluate pieces of opposing evidence, for and against Man landing on the Moon. It can be used as part of a space topic, or as a standalone lesson. It was created as an interview lesson. It will require reading the Wikipedia page on Moon landing conspiracies first (link provided in lesson plan) as this lesson generates lots of questions from students.

Suitable for use as a starter or plenary. This is a one page diagram that the students are asked to complete. It asks the students to complete the path of a laser as it is reflected off a series of mirrors to a detector. They have to work out the angles of incidence and reflection. Requires a protractor. Can be used for AQA P1 - Waves - Reflection.

This resource contains assessments, PowerPoints and workbook for Learning aim C for unit 1. There is another resource with the chemistry and biology content.

Written for AQA C1 - Atoms, elements and compounds. But can be used at KS3. Print in colour on A3. Students need Molymod kits, the worksheet directs them to build different models of molecules and identify if they are elements or compounds.

I made this for a Year 10 group doing the Greenhouse effect as part of P2 in the OCR Science GCSE. Printed/photocopied onto on A3. Can be completed with access to textbooks or with the internet. Includes both PowerPoint slide and JPEG

This is a searchable bank of exam questions matched to points for the 2nd year of the new OCR A Chemistry A level specification (2015 onwards). Use the specification points document to find the relevant code for the learning objective you want, then use the find feature in the PowerPoint document to search for matching exam questions and answers.

These are a series of activities leading the students through, methods of following a rate of reaction, finding the initial rate, rate orders, the rate equation and half lives of reactants.

This is a lesson on variation. It involves an activity where the class are split into groups, each one getting a feature of their classmates to measure. They then produce a graph of the their results. The graphs can be compared and types of continuous and discontinuous variation discussed. Resources needed: Tape measures, meter rulers and graph paper. Several printouts of the experiment sheet will also be needed.

Students are given flashcards each with a name and picture of a metal. Using a series of statements describing displacement reactions from a sheet they can sort the metals into order of reactivity. Suitable for a starter or plenary.

A short activity to introduce students to a risk assessment. They are given 6 hazards, they then have to use the labels to fill in the risk assessment table. Suitable for use as a starter or plenary.

This is a scenario for KS4 students to learn about epidemics, pandemics and the spread of disease through a population. The students make decisions which affect the number of people who live or die during an outbreak of avian flu in the UK. Promotes good discussion amongst the students as to their choices. This can be used for AQA B1 Keeping healthy - Changing Pathogens.

Case study with questions on Dr John Wilson and his claim that the whooping cough vaccine was dangerous. Can be used for AQA B1 - Keeping healthy - How we deal with disease.

This is a scheme of work, a collection of lessons, student workbook and assessment materials for the first part of the OCR AS/A Level GCE Chemistry A course. Please rate if you find it useful.

This is a worksheet that asks students to identify the coordination, number, the shape and the ligand surrounding example meta ions.

This is an activity where the students have to identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in a redox reaction, then say whether the reaction is feasible based on the electrochemical potentials of the reactants.
