From triple science support, the resources in this collection look at ways that schools can work together in partnerships and networks to support the provision for triple science GCSEs.

Note: These resources have been included in this collection for teachers’ use, however they may contain some...

Published in 2009 by LSIS, this report describes an action research project undertaken by Longley Park Sixth Form College. The research undertook a comparison of the different GCSE science specifications and an analysis of the January results for an AS chemistry unit to investigate the impact of GCSE qualifications...

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book describes applications of chemistry.

There are three parts to this book:
*Part 1: The properties of colloids
Covering...

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book describes developments in the applications of chemistry but takes an historical approach in some sections.

There are two parts to...

The nineteen activities within this pack investigate colour and link to many topics at primary level including: light and sight, plants, properties of materials and habitats. Designed to demonstrate key ideas and concepts and to spark an interest in science and engineering, they could be used in class or within a...

A multiple choice quiz on colour by design for A/AS level chemistry.

Although it is written for OCR AS/A level chemistry (Salters) H033/H433 course, it can be edited to suit your scheme of work.

The Gravity Flight Suit uses kerosene as a fuel.  This resource explains the combustion of another hydrocarbon, methane, and the conditions needed for combustion of a fuel.

These materials support teachers, careers and personal advisers who are working together to broaden knowledge of STEM opportunities amongst students and parents. Resources include posters and support materials for practitioners. Teachers may also find the following eLibrary collections useful:

• ...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that stirring does not affect the solubility of a substance.

• Recognise that increasing the volume of solvent does not increase the solubility of a substance...

Produced by Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students look at aspects of how science works. This activity challenges students to look critically at a plan to investigate the relative ease with which metal carbonates decompose. The plan involves the decomposition of carbonates to release carbon dioxide and...

This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Composites are made by physically combining two or more materials. Many composite materials are used to provide strength and rigidity while using thinner, lighter components. However, they...

This practical activity allows students to explore how nature creates calcium carbonate, a compound needed to manufacture cement, at ambient temperatures and using abundant, readily available raw materials. The cement used in concrete is manufactured from calcium carbonate, which is extracted from open-pit mines....

Produced by Solar Spark, this activity allows students to see a condensation polymerisation reaction in action as the polyamide polymer, Nylon, is produced. This is a condensation polymer made of two parent monomers, a di-amine and a di-acid chloride.

The reaction can be used to illustrate:
