AQA 3.2.5 A-level Chemistry Transition Metals - 4 Workbooks Dyslexia Friendly Notes, Qs and As

(1)
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.2.5 Transition Metals These workbooks cover a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell Style notetaking so the books can be used while you teach and students can add their own notes and ideas down the margin. I have used colour consistently for the different types of sections to make the booklet accessible, especially more dyslexia friendly as I have found that chemistry notes and questions can often be very dense, and somewhat inaccessible. Parent and student friendly too with answers. Contents Booklet 1 - 30 pages • The general properties of transition metals and definitions • Metal complexes and ligands • Substitution reactions • Shapes of complex ions Booklet 2 - 24 pages • Formation of coloured ions • Colorimetry and the concentration of transition metal ions in solution • Variable oxidation states • Vanadium species in oxidation states V, IV, III and II • Tollen’s Reagent Booklet 3 - 16 pages • Redox titrations with MnO4- o Calculating the percentage of iron in an iron tablet and moss killer o Calculating the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in hair bleach o Calculating the percentage of iron and carbon in steel o Indirect redox titrations using zinc metal • Redox titrations with other oxidising agents e.g. Cr2O72- Booklet 4 - 19 • Transition metals as catalysts • Heterogeneous catalysts o Contact Process o Haber Process • Homogeneous autocatalysis in the reaction of MnO4- and C2O42- • Homogeneous catalysis by Fe(II)/Fe(III) of reaction of S2O82- and I-

AQA GCSE Science skills and metacognition - how to approach exam questions using thinking skills

(1)
Huge pack of resources to teach a module on thinking skills and metacognitive approaches to science exam questions. Aimed at year 10/11 double or triple scientists. The resources focus on skills and contain examples from biology, chemistry and physics. The questions selected can usually be answered from the information in the question meaning this work can be incorporated into teaching without worrying too much about where you are in the syllabus. Mark schemes are included. Metacognition, which includes ideas such as learning to learn and developing thinking skills, can be applied to the way students tackle examination questions. This scheme of learning and accompanying lessons and resources,for science skills, breaks down the different types of questions that students meet and supports them to find learned strategies that work for them in how to tackle those questions. Each skill comes complete with a PowerPoint, worksheet and mark scheme. The resources are based on AQA materials but the skills are transferable across other exam boards. All three sciences: biology, chemistry and physics, are covered. Connections and tick boxes Data in tables Graphs Data in bar and pie charts Comprehension and application Command words Complicated diagrams Extended response questions Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make GCSE science engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time! The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist.
