Summary

Each topic is designed for teaching over roughly 1-2 lessons.

This particular unit has genuine impact as it discusses and presents some of the main issues regarding the Earth’s scarce resources. A study of the atmosphere in terms of its modern-day composition and also its evolution begins in Topic 1, with many fascinating and highly illustrative examples that will provide students with ample food for thought. Using the Earth’s resources is the next study in terms of how we can sustain resources for future generations. Essential resources for life, like potable water is discussed with attention given to the chemical principles involved in its purification. Reducing resource waste by recycling, and the lessening of environmental impact by reducing energy consumption are key aspects of this interesting area of study, as is the role of life cycle assessments in the determination of a product’s impact and life span. The everyday use of valuable and ‘energy-rich’ materials, for example, metals, glasses and polymers brings the unit to a highly interesting and thought-provoking conclusion.

The complete series covers the AQA GCSE (9-1) Chemistry 8462 and combined science (Trilogy) 8464 specifications for Chemistry. Content relating to the separate Chemistry specification or Higher level material is indicated throughout for easy identification.

What's included in the toolkit?

What people say...

“
”

I am really pleased with the resources for the Unit 8 'Crude Oil and Fuels' so far. As I am non-specialist teaching the new specification of AQA GCSE Chemistry for the first time this year, these resources have been invaluable to me. The presentations are thorough and well illustrated. The teacher guide and power point presentation leads you through the topics logically. This has been particularly useful as I have been tasked with picking up this course with students that are already midway through their GCSE and the commentary has provided me with useful guidance of what students should have covered in earlier modules and there are also activities that recap earlier learning. The fact that the resources are so thorough and there is a WS and HWK for every lesson, has saved me a huge amount of planning time as there is already plenty for students to do. All I have had to do is add a little further differentiated practice as and when my students needed it. I will definitely be looking at buying other modules too.

Lots of questions to gauge pupils understanding, great real life links with the slides, short pieces of info on each slide.
