Resources developed as part of a *BIG PRACTICAL*. These are designed to practice a skill - usually using a preliminary investigation - then a full investigation write up. These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context. First lesson Resources: aseptic techniques practice, pupils-account-of-aseptic-techniques (+ppt) Practical: Pupils culture a known bacterial both using aseptic techniques, with an aim of achieving zero contamination. Activities order: Teacher intro, practical write up using frame and practical, KILLER CHALLENGE correcting a poor aseptic method Second lesson Resources: Testing antibiotics (+ppt) Practical: Pupils complete the same method of culturing known bacterial broths using aseptic techniques but add antibiotic disks. Activity order: Look at plates from previous lesson and look if they have been successful and what they need to improve. Practical and write up. Third lesson Resources: Antibiotic plate sheet, Diameter-zone-of-inhibition (+ppt) Activity order: Look at antibiotic plates, Complete sheet looking at antibiotics and comparing zones of inhibition, calculating zones of inhibition for comparison.

These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context. First lesson Resources: Reduction-Reactions (+ppt) Practical: Pupils complete a practical looking at the reduction of iron in iron oxide using carbon on a match. Activities order: Starter looking at the reactivity series and the order of metals. First section looks at those found in their natural state and not in compounds. Then move on to look at those above hydrogen and below carbon using practical. Second Resources: Electrolysis (+ppt) Practical: Electrolysis of copper sulphate solution - simplistic Activities order: Introduction the meaning of the term 'lysis' and linking it to electrolysis. How ores are processed to get compounds ready for electrolysis. Electrolysis of sodium chloride and aluminium oxide as examples.

A test split into triple and combined with a mark scheme covering the basic information and questions encountered in the new curriculum. These will be available for different topics and in bundles. Enjoy and please review :)

Higher level activity looking at the stages of evolution for Darwin's finches. These are diagnostic activities looking at the misconceptions around evolution and justification of why incorrect statements are incorrect. Differentiated in to scaffolded and none scaffolded.

This is a unit (4 lessons) for filling the AQA required practical although can be easily used for other specifications. The method used are the recommended practical methods published by AQA. The lessons are as follows: 1) Denisty of regular objects 2) Density of irregular objects This has been designed as part of a year 9 scheme of work which have been fully undated to cover the new AQA specification, change in assessment objective weightings and mathematical requirements.

These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context. First lesson Resources: Rate-of-reaction-practical (+ppt) Practical: Pupils complete a preliminary testing three concentrations of HCl on calcium carbonate and collect gas using inverted measuring cylinders. Activity order: Intro, demo, should be able to complete preliminary practical and write up to preliminary conclusion. Second/Third lesson Resources: Rate-of-reaction-practical (+ppt) Practical: Pupils complete a full practical testing three concentrations of HCl on calcium carbonate and collect gas using inverted measuring cylinders. Complete repeats and exclude outliers to calculate mean. Activity order: Make any changes to the method necessary from previous prac (e.g. my pupils decided they were going to use larger measuring cylinders). Complete prac and write up.
