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.

AQA GCSE chemistry - Unit 4 - Lesson7 Strong and Weak Acids and understanding pH

(0)
This is a lesson to teach strong and weak acids with an introduction to the meaning of pH. It has a ppt and worksheet in word and pdf format with answers to the worksheet as well. The meaning of strong acid in terms of complete ionisation of acid molecules in water The meaning of weak acid in terms of partial ionisation of acid molecules in water Comparison of the terms concentrated and dilute with strong and weak and an explanation of how a weak acid can still be concentrated and a strong acid could still be dilute. Grid to test understanding of key vocabulary in the ppt file. Meaning of pH in terms of the change in 10x each time you go down a pH unit - does not include logarithms it is described in an accessible way that allows students to calculate changes in concentration as pH unit changes. I write Professor Bunsen resources to teach and test in my own classroom. I hope that I manage to make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time!

AQA A-level Chemistry 3.3.9 Aromatic, chemistry & reactions of benzene - Unit Workbook with Answers

(1)
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.3.9 Aromatic Chemistry and the reactions of benzene and its derivatives - Lesson or Revision workbook with answers This workbooks 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 consistently 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 especially students 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. Student and parent friendly and can be used without a teacher. This booklet is 25 pages long with answers to past paper questions provided at the back from page 21 onwards. It is provided in word and pdf. Please customise for personal use only and do not share or re-sell. Contents • Useful definitions • Kékulé structure and problems with it • Naming compounds based on benzene • Electrophilic substitution reactions of benzene
