This resource is a complete scaffolded worksheet designed to help students tackle the AQA Required Practical on water purification (evaporation method), tested as a 6-mark extended response question.
What’s included:
- A full exam-style 6-mark question on testing water samples for dissolved solids.
- Command word breakdown (Describe + Explain) to guide student responses.
- Success criteria checklist to support self- and peer-assessment.
- Keywords box to reinforce scientific vocabulary.
- A vague student-style answer with underlining practice (spot what’s missing/incorrect).
- A “Check” sticky note highlighting key points to improve answers.
- Fill-in-the-gaps activity with a word bank to structure the correct method.
- A Level 3 model answer written to match the AQA mark scheme.
This worksheet ensures students practise writing structured methods, using correct apparatus, and linking to validity (repeating and comparing results). It’s also perfect for intervention, homework, or revision sessions ahead of exams.
Pairs perfectly with my other Required Practical 6-mark worksheets (Chromatography, Distillation, Rates of Reaction, etc.) to build a consistent and professional set.
