This resource consists of a diagram that needs to be labeled and a 1 page cloze-style work sheet to help reinforce the terms in the diagram. Answers are provided. A series of 10 questions (and answers) on rocks and volcanoes are also provided in a separate w/s that can be used to start a lesson off or for peer-testing.

This resource consists of two worksheets. The first work sheet is based on a series of unknowns (a-o) that are either a reagent or a product (about 30-50 min. to complete depending on ability of student). The reactions are limited to oxidation, reduction, nucleophilic substitution, chlorination, cyanation and addition reactions. The worksheet will suit students A-level chemistry or with an interest in the National Chemistry Olympiad competition. The second worksheet (ws3) is 3 pages long and has 24 questions requiring either structures, short answers or descriptions for answers. Answers are included.

This resource is a test that covers various aspects of periodicity: sub atomic numbers, electron configuration, assigning charge to ionic species, some electrolysis questions and a few word equations (eg. photosynthesis) requiring symbols equations. The test takes about 1 hour.

This resource consists of 4 work sheets and answers. It would suit students aged 14-16 learning to balance word and symbol equations. WS1 contains 20 word and symbol equations involving the reaction of metals with oxygen, chlorine, water or an acid. WS2 contains 20 word and symbol equations involving reactions between metal salts (carbonates, hydroxides and oxides) and acids WS3 requires the students to complete acid base word and symbol equations WS4 requires symbol equations for reactions with metals. Some of these resources appear elsewhere.

This resource consists of notes and worked examples to show how to establish a molecule's Lewis structure and molecular shape. The problems are more difficult than ws1 and would suit students who are doing Honors, AP or are interested in competing in the National Chemistry Olympiad competition.

This test is about 1 hours long. It includes questions about calculating oxidation number, observations and balancing half and full REDOX equations. Answers are included. This test would be useful for students doing IGCSE and AS chemistry. With all the best intentions in the world, mistakes do get made. Please tell me if there is an error and I will correct it and organise to send you a corrected copy.

This test comprises about 45 marks worth of short answer questions (with answers). The focus is on the periodic table, electron configuration, balancing simple word and symbol, equations, universal indicator colors and a few questions concerning the electrolysis of NaCl. With all the best intentions in the world, mistakes do get made. Please tell me if there is an error and I will correct it and organise to send you a corrected copy.

This resource consists of two activities. The first requires the students to cut and match the 5 Kingdoms, the definition and a picture (answers are given in the other document). The 2nd activity gets the students to cut out some descriptors and organisms and group them into different phyla.

This resource contains 9 pages of detailed notes and worked examples as well as a 2 2-page worksheets that contains some straight forward to difficult (using a quadratic equation) pH calculations. The detailed notes work though a variety of scenarios and some of the associated misconceptions. The notes would be useful for both new chemistry teachers and students. The problems will be suitable for A level students or those wanting to trial for the National Chemistry Olympiad competition. Other problem worksheets re also available at Drogchem. With all the best intentions in the world, mistakes do get made. Please tell me if there is an error and I will correct it and organise to send you a corrected copy. Key words: buffer, acid, base, acidity constant, pH calculations.

This worksheet has 2 pages of problems (and answers) which require a Lewis structure and a molecular shape. Some of the questions ask students to compare molecule bond angles and explain why they differ. A set of notes with examples is included. This resource would be useful for students enrolled in Honors or AP.

This bundle of resources contains material that will help a native Chinese student manage the new language and subject material that will likely appear in a geology lesson. It includes word lists in Chinese and English that need to accompanying word in the other language, cloze activities, a test and a diagram to label.

This resource contains key words that Tongan students will need to learn if they are to manage science lessons in physics and laboratory practical sessions. TESOL teachers will note that direct word for word translations are not easy and often multiple words are needed to explain a concept. I have used a Tongan teacher to help me with the translations. A key strategy I use is to ask the students to draw diagrams to help them explain what they mean.

This resource consists of the list of key words used in Astronomy lessons (15-17 years old). Tongan students often come to Australia or New Zealand for further education but do not have support outside the TESOL class in terms of key Science words. Would you believe there is no word for spring tide? It requires a lengthy description. It is examples like this one which help illustrate why Tongan students often struggle in the English dominated classroom. Some cloze-style problems and a word finder are also included. Topics include tides, seasons and phases of the moon. This resource would help NZ students who are studying the Internal assessment AS 90954.

This resource consists of 2 worksheets consisting of lists of key genetics words in which the student has to add the correct term -in English or Chinese. A worksheet where the student chooses the correct word to complete the sentence (5 min starter) There is also a 2-page worksheet (and answers) that asks the students to fill out some punnet squares and carry out simple calculations (these are written in English).

This work sheet has a series of unknowns (a-o) that are either a reagent or a product. The reactions are limited to oxidation, reduction, nucleophilic substitution, chlorination, cyanation and addition reactions. The worksheet will suit students enrolled in Honors, AP or with an interest in the National Chemistry Olympiad competition. Answers are included.

This experiment gets students to compare pH titration data collected using different indicators. It shows the importance of choosing the correct indicator. The experiment(s) are easily carried out in 50 minutes and students can do up to 8 titrations during the class. Data is reported back to the teacher and the results shared with the wider class. Student feedback suggests this is a very useful practical and the repetitive nature of the experiment allows them to fine-tune their experimental skills. The practical will be useful for those studying acid-base chemistry and buffer systems. Students enrolled in Honors and AP courses would find this practical beneficial. Notes for the teacher are also included Key words: buffer, acid-base, equivalence point, buffer zone, practical, pKa, indicators.

This resource consists of three double-sided works sheets with over 45 questions and worked answers. Each problem requires students to either calculate the number of moles, mass, molecular mass or % composition. This resource would suit those learning to use n = m/M for the first time. With all the best intentions in the world, mistakes do get made. Please tell me if there is an error and I will correct it and organise to send you a corrected copy.
