Complete revision on P4P5P6 for current OCR twenty first century additional science. Covers all topics. Can be used for students or as a class PowerPoint. Specifically tailored to the style of OCR exam questions.

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) Chromotography of M&M dye 2) Chromatography and calculating Rf values 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.

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.

Resource developed to guide mid to low learners through AQA required specific heat capacity practical. This is the work sheet only. Available in my other resources as a bundle with PowerPoint and other resources.

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 :)

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.
