These resources were used to guide year 9 pupils through this Key Stage 4 Required Practical.
The experiment does not always work properly (in regards to approximating the intensity of the bubbles produced). Therefore, a sensible results table has been prepared, to share with the students.
Activities for the students were;
-design sensible experiment method
-revise different types of variables
identify the inverse relationship between Light intensity and distance of lamp from the plant.
correct the crossed-out data in table
calculate averages of number of bubbles, use correct units.
Make graph with correct X axis (light intensity or distance) and Y Axis (dependent, bubbles)
analyse graph, is there correlation?
explain graph, what is happening to cause bubbles?
This lesson was designed based on current specifications from AQA GCSE chemistry.
It is very effective to ask pupils to count the stairs on one side of the school before the lesson, and collect their varied results.
Required GCSE Chemistry Practical, Making soluble Copper Sulfate from insoluble base Copper Oxide.
These resources have been successfully used with key stage four classes.
This presentation covers main reactions of group 1 metals, with tasks in the slides.
It also prepares class for practical, flame tests.
It then provides a fun way to remember the colours of Li, Na and K. You must play SMOKE ON THE WATER from your computer…
Have fun
Print, laminate, cut up, group work carousel around the room. Helps prepare Key Stage 4 Year 10 pupils for end of unit 2 chemistry test. Questions are a mix of Foundation and Higher.
Engage pupils in Cardiovascular topic. Pupils see from Doctor’s perspective and use real examples of ECG and X-Ray to inform diagnosis and treatment suggestions.
Unit of Work, AQA Quantitative Chemistry; Conservation of Mass, Limiting Reactants, Uncertainty, Moles, Concentration. All lessons with a starter MYSTERY ELEMENT or MYSTERY MOLECULE.
Lesson to teach classes how to calculate density, link to basic knowledge of atomic mass from periodic table (are metals light or heavy) and draw clear diagrams showing cubic volume. Practical requires metal blocks of various regular volumes.
