I have struggled to find resources for this in the past so I have made this one. It starts off with methods for the tests for: alcohols, hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids and works up to take students through results, conclusions, structures and functional groups and to the Distinction level explaining the reactions. Covers 3 pieces of criteria for Unit 5.

Log book for practical work originally designed for the BTEC Level 2 Applied Science Unit 9 where students need to research, devise, carry out and critically analyse, conclude and evaluate their own project. The log book was designed to be completed in class and as homework to guide students through the criteria within the brief. There are check points for the teacher to sign off throughout the booklet and a student submission form to complete at the end of the booklet before submission. Could be adapted for use on other courses e.g. for practice GCSE ISAs etc.

Poster task activity to get students thinking about 'biodegradable' plastics and the different ways we can recycle our waste. Covers the new Core Science A Chemistry ch5 plastics and polymers. Final page is a teacher answer sheet for the card sort.

Originally designed for the BTEC Level 3 QCF course - Unit 13 Biochemistry and Biochemical Techniques There are 7 activities to work through including; labelling sugars, constructing 3D sugar molecules, labelling DNA and RNA structures and drawing bases, summarising key differences between RNA and DNA (sort card activity with teacher answers).

Designed to match the AQA specification for Chemistry (C2) but also highly useable for other examination boards. 44 comprehensive individual help/revision cards to help summarise the key exam topics with examples and top tips to help simplify and make the course easily digestible for students. Bigger and better than my previously uploaded “AQA Science A Unit 5 Revision Flash Cards” which were rated a full 5 stars and downloaded nearly 900 times over the past 18 months! Use for; display boards, end of topic test revision, summer exam revision or in class as HELP CARDS to help aid student differentiation. Please rate and comment, I appreciate any feedback. ALL diagrams have been constructed by myself to comply with copywriting rules, please appreciate that cost reflects the time taken to do each and every one of these!

Apologies that it has taken me so long to put these up. Just double check the formatting as well as somethimes they jiggle all over the place between uploads and downloads. Core Science/Science A, tailored for AQA but helpful for all specifications and exam boards. It is unit 6 so the second half of Biology, Chemistry and Physics but if merged with Unit 5 which are already on here then it covers the full spec. Enjoy and please leave feedback :)

I saw posters up in a Liverpool school of this task during a PGCE training day and designed an activity sheet with a levelled task that has gone down well year after year with students.

Activity to arrange electrons onto electron shells and a worksheet to fill in about atomic structure and electronic structure of the first 20 elements. Designed for BTEC Level 2 Applied Science but would work well for Additional Sciences and other Chemistry lessons. Ionic bonding sheet continues on and the same activity using the electrons and shells can be used again to aid understanding of how electrons are lost and gained between metal and non-metals. Great for kinaesthetic and visual learners. Any feedback appreciated.

Designed for my BTEC level 2 Applied Science students for Unit 19 (NQF). The worksheet has video links, a couple of questions and activities for students around the methodology and reasoning behind column chromatography. The particular focus is on separating chlorophyll in plants. I made this mainly because it is so hard to actually do as a class practical and it just made it easy to understand for my students and a simple write-up supports their assignment work for methods of chromatography. Enjoy :) NB the last question should show some indication of a row of test tubes with extracted samples in the order that they exited the column. This is obviously different to the paper and TLC where they have the colours separated up the paper or membrane.

Student Revision Flash Cards to cover the whole of AQA Science A Unit 5! \nDiagrams, tables, evaluations and information (some parts courtesy of Bitesize).\nHope they help :)

BTEC Level 2 Applied Science - Unit 2 (Assignment B). Worksheet on drill heads! Takes students through the drill head part of the assignment brief, identifying properties, researching potential materials and making a justified choice at the end of which one to use.
