I have taught secondary school science, Chemistry being my specialism, for 28 years. I have developed and used my resources in my own lessons, usually in response to a specific need or a gap in provision. I like resources that are multifaceted in the way they are used, if possible, so that they can be easily adapted to the needs of different classes, without necessarily having to alter them. I share my most frequently and successfully used here. I am now tutoring Chemistry online.

First worksheet as a starter for students to estimate the how much heat is lost from different parts of the home. the powerpoint merely shows where the numbers go. The U - values worksheet is gradated. Less able students need only the first side. More able students should do some calculations and the last question is open enough to push the maths to perhaps even deriving a formula.

Summary worksheets on the keywords describing change of state and the properties of and particle descriptions of solids, liquids and gases. The States of Matter worksheets are for different abilities and the keyword fill may be used as a preparatory sheet for students to find the keywords, or simply as an annotation sheet used in conjunction with the presentation. The wordbank cards have the meanings as well as the words and these or the flashcards may be used in conjunction with the keyword fill sheet for students to place the words before writing them down. The flashcards can be used in class for peer learning and checked with a quick quiz. Although intended for lower ability students, the longer "States of Matter cut and stick" worksheet can be useful in general on a Friday afternoon. "States of Matter - match" is intended for middle ability students and "States of matter" for higher ability.

“Give more detail.” How often does this comment get written next to those unstructured, written response questions? Let’s face it, the chemistry of aromatic compounds really lends itself to those comparison type questions. The reactions and functional group are multi-faceted and influence each other. Scan back through some A level past exam papers and you will see them there. This resource summarises different aspects of aromatic chemistry that might be compared. Similarities and differences are presented in 6 Venn diagrams, laying out the main points to take note of. The planning of answers to different questions is done here, ready to put into a clear, coherent paragraph, depending on the question asked. Ace those level of response questions in Arenes!

Print on A3 and laminate. To help students who struggle with rearranging formulae to do calculations. Use with a formula card and the relevant quantity and units card. Referring to the formula card, put the quantities that are multiplied on the bottom sections of the triangle and the other on the top. The quantity being asked for in any particular problem can be removed and leave the relevant formula arrangement to do the calculations. Activity can help students to learn how to create their own rearrangement triangle from learned formula. (AQA GCSE Physics 1-9)
