I have been teaching science for over 30 years. although Biology is my specialism I have lots of experience of teaching Physics and Chemistry to GCSE. I am particularly interested in practical work and believe that all science teachers should be able to teach good practicals and give practical demos.

New KS3 Distillation - lesson plan and resources

(1)
Try a new distillation practical! This uses a different example of distillation to the ones usually used. It provides a comprehensive set of resources for a lesson on distillation. In the activity particle concepts are reviewed to explain mixtures and key words are applied in a description and explanation of how distillation works. It contains differentiated worksheets and a power point.

Structure of Graphenes and Fullerenes

(1)
This worksheet enables students to use key words to describe the structure of graphenes, fullerenes and nanotubesin Cloze passages and a question. It also covers uses of these structures. Suitable for Science GCSE students. Good for a summary, review lesson or homework.

Power point which explains how chlorophyll pigments can be separated using chromatography. This is a basic power point that can be improved with additional details of how to do the chromatography.
The pH Scale

The pH Scale

(2)
Worksheet with information and questions about the pH scale. Has extension question. Requires some prior knowledge as well as comprehension of the worksheet. Ideal as a homework. Just modified it to make it more accessible after my Year 7s completed it for homework. Good to see if they are reading the information properly!

Atomic structure of the first 20 elements

Used with GCSE chemistry/physics when teaching about the structure of the atom. Hopefully the repetitive nature will help fix the patterns. Many students get a sense of achievement completing the sheet.
Rusting. New method Practical and Results.

Rusting. New method Practical and Results.

(0)
This practical protocol is different to the usual set-up and gives results in 30 min. It is easy for students to do and the results are very clear. Written for AQA GCSE Chemistry, but suitable for other exam boards. Techs like it as it’s not so messy. This resource contains actual results for students to interpret as well as the protocol. The resource covers, corrosion, rusting and the chemical equation, methods to prevent rusting and why and how this happens. There is a power point, worksheet, teacher and technician notes. Enough material here for a full lesson and possibly a homework too depending on your class.
Teaching about Nanotechnology new GCSE, KS4

Teaching about Nanotechnology new GCSE, KS4

(2)
This is an extensive resource. It contains activities and worksheets that are differentiated and have answer sheets so they are easy to mark in class and you can check the student's learning. There are numeracy and literacy tasks involved. One task goes over the relationship between size and surface area which is a key concept in science. The main activity involves independent research. The starter has an interesting example of an ancient use of nanotechnology which is surprising. There are references to videos to show about nanotechnology and other resources that can be used for extension/homework. This resource is suitable for GCSE students. It is especially matched to the new AQA Science scheme of work.
Measuring diffusion practical.

Measuring diffusion practical.

(0)
This is a whole-lesson resource. Most diffusion practicals involve observation only - this resource asks students to measure and calculate. Further it has a set of results, obtained by real Year 7 students and a graph of their results. This is so all students have a standard set of results to compare their own results with and a standard set to interpret, so you can check their understanding. This resource also challenges students to use their knowledge of particles to help them analyse the results of comparing two different concentrations of acid.

New KS3 Conservation of Mass Practical - lesson plan and resources

(1)
Resources for teaching this new part of KS3. It contains instructions for a demonstration and optional class practical with material for a whole lesson. The work is differentiated and aims to teach some practical skills as well as the concept. Contains differentiated worksheets, extension material and a power point.

Practical work on acids and alkalis and pH scale - series of lessons

(0)
This resource is good value as it has technician lists, practical instructions, background material and worksheets for 5 lessons/activities on acids and alkalis. It is very suitable for new teachers or teachers teaching out of subject area who may like some new ideas/resources. It fits the new KS3 science section on the pH scale and neutralisation.
Using a colourimeter

Using a colourimeter

(0)
This is for the new BTEC Applied Science Course. There are questions here about how to use a colourimeter and an evaluation criteria sheet for some peer-evaluation when the students actually use the colourimeters. This was useful as it focussed them and will also help them evaluate their progress for this part of the assignment.
