Useful layout of all the learning objectives from the spec for AQA chemistry. Pupils can tick off topics as they go along or use this as a revision tool that is slightly easier to use than the plain specs. I am using this for formative assessment to have pupils tell me which areas they are confident with.

NEW GHS Hazard Symbols

Since 2007 the hazard symbols used worldwide have been changing to these new pictograms. I have yet to see resources using them in schools. Pupils need to know what these mean and so I have updated some of the usual activities and collected together all the important images. Includes a powerpoint explaining in simple terms what the pictograms mean. hazard symbols, safety, laboratory, year 7

Automatically ranks pupils targets. Includes separate sheets for KS3 and KS$ classes. Keeps pupils' names visible whilst you scroll through your records. Easy to use!

Made for Btec 6.1 but suitable for a range of levels. Includes powerpoint, question sheet and information sheets. First activity was a brainstorm on healthy, unhealthy foods and activities. For the main activity: Text used is challenging for many pupils, do not be surprosed if they struggle for a few minutes before they get started. Put the information sheets around the room, put the pupils into groups and had them try to answer questions and win points for their group.

Have a class set of these printed on stiff paper and laminated for a brilliant and fun assessment tool useful time and again when looking at different types of bonding and atomic structure. Either use both sides for a differentiated resource or use just the side you need and leave the other side blank to allow further closed questioning.
