A breakdown of the iGCSE Chemistry syllabus into student friendly statements

This 2 week KS3 scheme of work was designed to take 4x100 minute lessons. The aim of the project is to guide students to research, test, ´market´ and evaluate their own handwarmer. The lessons are broken down as follows: Lesson 1 - Research and Planning Lesson 2 - Testing hand-warmer options Lesson 3 - Product Design Lesson 4 - Pitching the design to peers and evaluation Originally designed to link Science with Business and Enterprise, it could also be used to encourage the use of transferable skills in science, and would make an independent and interactive ´end of year´ activity.

These are the answers to my previously posted sheets which when answered summarise the whole of the iGCSE Chemistry course, with one sheet per topic. They can be used one at a time, at the end of a topic, or at the end of the year as a revision resource Obviously they don´t go into as much detail as past paper questions but they do provide a basic summary of questions that students must know the answers to in each topic.
