A multiple choice quiz on the periodic table for A/AS level chemistry.

Although it is written for OCR AS/A level chemistry A and B (H032, H432,  H033, H433), it can be edited to suit your scheme of work.

During the statistics course, students will meet a range of different methods of hypothesis testing, all slightly different. The aim of this matching exercise is for students to create a table giving a variety of examples of situations in which a test may take place, the type of test which should be used in each...

This activity is based on work being carried out at The University of Oxford. A team is using laser-light to create tabletop supernovas to understand the origins of magnetic fields in our universe.

Students will act...

This excel resource contains a series of interactive sheets exploring frequency tables and quartiles.

The first sheet calculates the mean from a frequency table. The second calculates an estimate for the mean from a...

Mendeleev's invention of the periodic table of the elements showed how to predict and create further elements, something which scientists are still doing today.

This activity, produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, introduces students to the skills needed to examine a complex table of data and generate statements relating to the evidence. The activity will help students to: * extract information from numerical data, and identify any patterns and trends * link...

The first of two RISP activities, Periodic Functions, asks students to write down as many periodic functions as they can. The activity progresses to look at what happens...

Teachers’ Guide I and Students’ Book I of Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry covered the eleven topics which constituted the work suggested for the first year of the course.

This booklet was written to support the Periodicity and Atomic Structure option in the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme Stage III: A Course of Options. The booklet starts with an account of atomic structure which is then related to the periodic table and leads on to a...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the relationship between graphical, algebraic and tabular representations of functions, the nature of proportional, linear, quadratic and inverse functions and doubling and squaring. Students should already be familiar with algebraic symbols such as...

These activities, produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), help students understand about the formulation and design of coating used for tablets taken as medicines. Designed originally as a unit of GNVQ teaching, the materials contain a range...

This Catalyst article looks at sexual selection, a form of natural selection, and the role it plays in the evolution of many organisms. The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 24, Issue 4.

Catalyst is a science...

This activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, introduces students to ways of combining errors (uncertainties) from two independent measured quantities. Using the equation for Doppler shift, the error in the rotational velocity and time period are calculated....

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for atomic structure and equations at A level. Curriculum links include atomic structure, relative masses, electron structure, formulae and equations, periodicity, isotopes, electron structure, mass spectrometry, electron configuration,...
