AQA A-level Chemistry 3.3.15 NMR - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - Notes and Workbook with Answers

(0)
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.1.15 Amount of Substance - Lesson or Revision workbook with answers This workbook covers 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. Colour is used for the different types of sections to make the booklet more dyslexia friendly as I have found that chemistry notes and questions can often be very dense, and somewhat inaccessible for all students but particularly those who have dyslexia. The booklet can also be produced as a revision guide for the topic and contains all the notes and practice past paper questions you would need to revise along with worked examples. Parent and student friendly containing answers to all questions. This booklet is 34 pages long with answers to past paper questions provided at the back from page 27 onwards. It is provided in word and pdf. Contents How NMR works The NMR spectrum Interpreting 13C NMR spectra Interpreting 1H NMR spectra Explanation of spin coupling and multiplicity Combining techniques

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.

Fun chemistry lesson on fireworks and flame tests

(7)
Have fun with a free bonfire night chemistry lesson or science club lunchtime special! Inspire your KS3 or KS4 students to learn more about chemistry. Teach them about the use of salts and metal powders in fireworks to create colours and sparkles (take real care when using metal powders such as iron) and make sure students know they should not be creating or dismantling their own fireworks. Design a firework. Links to spectroscopy of the stars …and analysis of valuable old paintings to spot fakes using the technology seen in the art BBC TV series Fake or Fortune!
