Resources here for IBDP and A-Level Chemistry, as well as Edexcel IGCSE and AQA GCSE Chemistry. I have a huge range of resources for 11-14 so ask if you need something specific. After teaching for 13 years in the UK and in international schools I have built up quite a selection of teaching resources. You can also visit my site www.toptenteacher.co.uk.

Cement and Concrete, Lesson 4 of Limestone and Building Materials, (AQA 1.2) Complete lesson

(0)
The 'Limestone and Building Materials' topic looks at uses of limestone and reactions of the carbonates. Lesson objectives: To understand the differences between cement, concrete and mortar. To test the strength of concrete Resources included: 1.Starter on ppt but if required this could be an alternative- Revision of limestone cycle. 2-5. Practical worksheets that can be given to students of different abilities, investigate how to make concrete and how the strength can change depending on the ratio of sand, cement and aggregate. Could be extended to include reinforced concrete. 6. Alternative to practical also involves finding out how glass is made. 7. Video, about 1min 30sec on how concrete strength is tested in a lab. Has cool backing music! 8. Possible homework- double sided worksheet, recaps previous work. 9. PowerPoint linking the main parts of the lesson together, has starter and plenary.

Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Chemistry. Core Practical Summary.

(0)
All the chemistry core practical activities summarised onto 6 sides. As 15% of the assessed work for Edexcel/Pearson is based on practical experiments this is a useful revision aid that summarises all the required core practicals. It would be useful for revision with students or planning your GCSE (9-1) chemistry course to ensure all the required practical work is completed. Practical assessments included: Investigating inks Preparation of copper sulfate Investigating neutralisation Electrolysis of copper sulfate Acid-alkali titration Investigating reaction rates Combustion of alcohols Identifying ions Information includes: Dependent independent and controlled variables (where applicable) Required equipment Method and expected outcome of experiment Possible evaluation issues and improvements to method Safety aspects Also included template to design your own summary for Biology or Physics

Science Tasks for IBDP Theory of Knowledge

(0)
Involves some lab work and investigations to answer the following TOK related questions: How is Knowledge Created in Science? To what extent is it important for scientists “see” things the same way? To what extent do scientists follow a set problem solving process or method for creating knowledge? What is the relationship between accuracy and precision in scientific measurement?

IGCSE, Section 1, States of Matter, Kinetic Theory, Complete lesson.

(0)
Second lesson from section 1, topic a. PowerPoint includes starter, theory, practical and plenary. Expects students to be able to describe the properties of solids liquids and gases and conduct experiment to collect data and draw a graph to show a cooling curve. Objectives: Can you recall interconversions between solids, liquids and gases? (C) Can you make accurate observations and explain these observations using kinetic theory? (B) Can you draw graphical data from practical work and further evaluate the idea of kinetic theory? (A/A*)

IGCSE Section 1. States of Matter. Complete Lesson.

(1)
Introduction to IGCSE Chemistry and the first lesson in the topic 'States of Matter'. Dealing with changes of state between solids, liquids and gases and demonstrating diffusion with a choice of experiments depending on the level of student understanding and equipment available to you. Objectives: Can you describe the interconversions of solids, liquids & gases? (C) Can you explain the idea of diffusion with a practical example? (B) Can you apply the idea of diffusion to fully explain an example within both liquids & gases? (A/A*) Students expected to formulate their own ideas about diffusion and draw on knowledge from KS3.

(0)
The 4th lesson in the 'Limestone and Building Materials' topic looking at uses of limestone and reactions of the carbonates. Lesson objectives: Most students should be able to: Recognise that limestone is a building material and state that it can also be used to make glass, cement and concrete. Complete a word equation for the thermal decomposition of limestone. Write the formula of calcium carbonate. Some students should also be able to: Explain the process of thermal decomposition of limestone. Resources included: 1. Questions on uses of limestone. 2. More questions on uses of limestone and quarrying limestone, could be used as homework. 3. PowerPoint with starter to recap understanding of elements mixtures and compounds, students produce notes on key reactions and uses of limestone though something more enjoyable than copying, some pair work and a plenary to check understanding.
