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

• Recognise that energy is conserved during an exothermic reaction.
• Describe how the temperature of the chemicals will change with time after an exothermic reaction.

The ‘Experimenting with Industry’ series was published in the mid-1980s when it presented industry-related science practicals for schools. It was developed as part of a 'teachers into industry' project organised by The Association for Science Education (ASE) on behalf...

These books were published in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They provide information and guidance on a range of practical activities that look at aspects of chemistry and electrochemistry.

The books in the collection include:

• Colourful chemistry
• Electrons at work
• Experiments...

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

• Recognise that evaporation occurs in different liquids, not just water.
• Predict that evaporation will occur in liquids with a temperature that is less than or greater than that of...

A collection of various resources, from the Association for Science Education (ASE), set in the context of sea, the moon and chemistry of the oceans. The resources are part of the SYCD: Science Year Is There Life? collection.

'All at sea? The chemistry of the oceans' is a very attractive ten-page booklet...

This worksheet looks at electrolysis, its use in the extraction of sodium and aluminum and in the purification of copper. Having completed it, students are then asked to set up a simple electrolytic cell to obtain pure copper and calculate and measure the amount of product deposited at an electrode during...

In this resource from the European Space Agency, students learn about changes of state of matter using water on the Moon as an example. They interpret data from a pressure vs. temperature graph for water to enable a discussion about how changes of state are different on the Moon compared to what we are used to on...

This Catalyst article looks at life in extreme environments on Earth which can suggest how life might exist on Mars. One of the developments in recent years that really opened up scientists’ eyes to the possibility of life on Mars has been the realization of just how adaptable and versatile life on Earth is.

The Fabric Fires activity for Key Stage Three students looks at how different fabrics catch fire and burn. Students are asked to first consider the commonest reasons for fires in the home. They then test and compare a fabric and a cotton wool ball, firstly when untreated and then having first soaked them in a fire...
