GCSE Chemistry flipped learning/revision booklet

(2)
This booklet fits the new AQA Combined and Separate Science Chemistry courses. This booklet is intended to be used as a flipped learning activity before the start of each topic, but can also be used as a independent revision booklet. See instructions on the front: Before the topic • Use your revision guide to answer the 10 comprehension questions covering the basics relating to that topic. • The aim is that you cover these beforehand so that we can spend lesson time on application of knowledge. • All information can be found on the revision guide pages that are referenced for each topic. After the topic • Look back over your original answers and add to them using purple pen. Extension Each topic will have an extension question that requires you to apply your knowledge of the basics. You can attempt this before or after the topic. The revision guide page references are for the Collins AQA guides.

Electrolysis of aqueous solutions

Electrolysis of aqueous solutions

(0)
A3 resource to help students visualise what is happening during the electrolysis of four different aqueous solutions (*AQA REQUIRED PRACTICAL). Splits the solutions into the anode and cathode. I tend to work through the first example on the visualiser in this order: 1 - Identify the four ions present in the solution 2 - Draw the two ions that would be attracted to the cathode in the cathode half, repeat for the anode. 3 - Use the rules printed at the top to then identify the product at each electrode. 4 - State the reason for each product (again using the rules at the top) Students can then try the other three examples on their own.
Strcuture & Bonding picture prompt

Strcuture & Bonding picture prompt

(0)
Retrieval practice activity. Most useful as revision at the end of the topic as requires knowledge of all three bonding types. Each worksheet includes 5 pictures and the pupil must suggest how each picture links to the topic. Standard version are slightly easier to link to the topic (e.g. covalent bonding diagram for water). Hard version more conceptually challenging (e.g. pictures showing transfer, sharing etc)

High ability Unit 3 Physics (AQA) eye lesson. Including dissection activity to retrieve the lens with differentiated worksheets provided for this. 6 mark QWC question, with helpsheets,
House insulation project

House insulation project

(4)
Mini-project that aims to consolidate knowledge from P.1.1.1 to P1.1.4 (convection, conduction, heat transfer, heating and insulation). Students to design and make their own model of an insulated house. Can get students to bring their own materials or provide them (e.g. cardboard boxes, tinfoil etc.) Takes 2 to 3 lessons. Winner decided by setting up a thermometer in the house and using a heat source, a light bulb that gives off a lot of heat works best, and then seeing which house reaches the highest internal temperature.
