I created this lesson for the new unit 19 level 3 applied science, assignment B, spectroscopy. This lesson lasts about 1.5 hours including completion of activities and introduces the students to spectroscopy by recapping the electromagnetic spectrum (I have also included some points in the notes section of the powerpoint which you may wish to discuss). The data sheet I used with my students was the OCR A A Level Chemistry one (just what was handy in the lab) and the PowerPoint refers to worksheet A which is part of their assignment. This can be found on the Pearson website, along with answers. I have included a link to a video I created introducing IR spectroscopy, aimed at students :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxYTIuKYbvc

This resource is a lesson created for A2 Chemistry OCR syllabus which covers Bronsted - Lowry acids and bases, conjugate acid-base pairs, mono, di and tribasic acids, neutralisation reactions with acid: carbonates, metal oxides and alkalis. Includes theory, is interactive and has questions and answers. It has step-by-step guides to calculations and refers to OCR Chemistry textbook (states page numbers of summary questions to complete at end of teaching a mini-topic). Watch me teach the basics of part this topic at ‘PhysChem with Liz’ on YouTube: weak acids (calculations): strong acids (calculations): https://youtu.be/NTEa1sBThRg

This contains a (relatively!) exciting PowerPoint lesson around what can be a boring and tedious topic - risk assessments and safety. It includes case studies and scandal, what can happen when we are not aware of the risks involved. This is suitable for any science course at any level I have also included a very short lesson on authority and accountability i.e. academic fraud, this is also suitable for any course at any level. It was initially created for the old BTEC level 3 applied science, but is not specific to this :)

This bundle includes an assignment brief (created by me), lesson on thermodynamics and feasbility (can be easily adapted for what level/content you would like to teach) and answers to the last 4 assignment questions. This was created for a level 4 course where I taught chemistry to biology apprentices (ages 18+). The title of the unit was ‘chemistry for applied biologists’ and this is one of 4 assignments set in that unit. It could also be used for A2 Chemistry as there are some worked examples and practice questions on Gibbs free energy and 2 redox practicals which include half equations and observations.

Structured PowerPoints which can be used to structure your lesson and/or guide and help students. Teaching videos (from me) on q=mc∆T and Hess’ Law https://youtu.be/BjbXJTB0JdA: https://youtu.be/gf2clDpAMbI

Includes: student worksheet with space to include results, readings and observations for each of the 3 stages, clearly labelled. 3 stage method, teacher and technician notes structured calculations and answers.

This resource is a full lesson created for A2 Chemistry OCR syllabus which covers Kp, partial pressure and mole fraction. Includes theory, is interactive, plenty of questions and answers. Clear step-by-step guides to calculations.

This is a lab book for unit 2 that will help students greatly once assignments are issued. Students can record their results in here during/after the practicals, either handwritten on a printed version or typed on an online copy. This saves loads of time with planning lessons :-) I hope that you find it helpful.

Attached is a full lesson 5 page worksheet containing a detailed step-by-step method (including how to use the UV-vis), introduction including theory on Beer’s Law, space for students to tabulate and record their results, questions around the topic, answers and sample results. There are a couple of photographs (taken by me when I was trialling this) to help students visualise how things should look when they are carrying out the method. This can take around 1 hour - 2.5 hour lesson depending on equipment availability and how you wish to deliver it. :-) Please leave a review!

Overview of AS Chemistry revision workbook. Answers attached. Useful for students to have a go at independently using their textbook and class notes, or from memory closer to the exam/mock. Teachers may also wish to use this during revision sessions together with past paper questions. Include examiner comments at the end which state how to do well on breadth and depth papers. #ASChemistryrevision #ASChemistryoverview

A lab book created for Applied Science students studying Unit 2: Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques. This can be used as an electronic lab book to store results and calculations or can be printed and issued to students at the start of the unit.

Attached is a full introductory lesson created for the new BTEC Unit 7: Contemporary Scientific Issues. It is activity based, with instructions and answers, a recent case study to get students started, points for discussion, a video on the case study, explanation of terms ethical, environmental, social and economic along with reliability and validity. Gets students thinking about reliability of sources, bias, etc. Homeworks during the first few months of teaching (and tutorial sessions, if you have these) could include watching documentaries on scientific issues to broaden student’s knowledge of contemporary issues in general. You may wish to select these yourself (from Netflix, Youtube etc.) or ask the students to find 1 each for homework and bring to next lesson (to minimise your workload!) then you can decide which to watch as a class and use as a point for discussion etc. Link to video introducing Unit 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMFkvxYIVfU

Attached is 2 double lessons (4 hours) worth of activities, lesson is interactive, student-led, exam-focused. Prior to this, students should choose a contemporary scientific issue of their choice - this can be from a magazine eg New Scientist or Chemistry Review etc. or from online. They can produce a little written piece introducing this if you wish them to. The teacher can then go through the PowerPoint regarding part B of the exam -this PowerPoint explains the structure of part B of the exam and describes what to include and how to structure your answers in order to achieve high marks. In some cases, ideas of how to start answers are given. Students should answer each of the questions (except the last one) for THEIR chosen contemporary issue (see peer assessment form for how to do this in presentation style. This can be done in a presentation format and communicated to the class, during the presentation, the presenter will be assessed by their classmates using the peer-assessment form attached. Many skills are addressed in this lesson(s), such as communication, critical thinking, analysis, detecting bias, independent research, ability to give and receive constructive criticism, drawing valid conclusions, making sensible judgements, simplifying complex issues and interpreting graphical and statistical data etc. Link to video introducing Unit 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMFkvxYIVfU

A booklet covering an intro to buffers, all the equations you need to learn and the main types of buffer calculations with stepwise methods and an answer booklet with all working.

AS Module 2 Revision Board Game on bonding, structure, properties, shape, electronegativity and polarity. Students really enjoyed playing this game and it was an excellent way to revise. Teacher will need: scissors, printer, card or a laminator (so the playing cards last), counters (1 per student), dice (1 per group). Included: cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions with Qs and As blank versions of cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions so you can adapt/write your own board game About: This is a learner-led revision activity. Recommended group size per board game: 4 Estimated time to complete game based on this group size: 50min - 1 hour (based on experience and length of student engagement). Game can be any length of time as winning is based on number of points rather than reaching the end of the board. Rules: Class to be split into roughly groups of 4 Each group to be given 1 board game mat, 4 counters, 1 dice and a set of 1, 2 and 3 point Q cards. They also need scrap paper and pens/pencils for working out Each group can either nominate a reader for the Q cards or they may take it in turns to read. #bondingstructureproperties #ASChemistryrevisiongame #Chemistryrevision #VSEPRrevision

I created this lesson for an observation. This contains a 3 hour lesson introduction to NMR, along with a scheme of work, comprehension task question sheet lesson plan, handwritten worksheet and answers. 6 files altogether. Extention/early finishers tasks are shown in majority of activities within PowerPoint and attached files. This lesson is created for L3 BTEC students Unit 19 (app sci) or Unit 15 (forensics). I spent a long time on the resources and paperwork and have attached some as files and others as images to give you ideas of what you can make (and how) for your own students. The following week I used the next 3 hours to finish the topic of NMR (following week’s lesson + resources not included - this is on splitting). Documents attached: comprehension task (to use in conjunction with page 1 of journal article, see link below), lesson PowerPoint, lesson plan, 2x question worksheets, answers and SOW. Journal article used for comprehension task is here: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijac/2018/3104569/
