From Cornwall College St Austell, this LSIS report describes the partnership with a local school to enhance students' experience in GCSE and AS level chemistry.

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

• Recognise that compounds made up of separate molecules have different boiling points.
• Describe the change in arrangement of particles when a hydrocarbon boils.
• Explain the...

The carefully constructed sequence of content in Stuff and Substance develops the concept of a substance...

There are three themes in these materials:

• Substances: This introduces the idea of a substance by looking at properties and establishing that a substance can be in any of three states. A basic particle model is introduced.
• Mixtures of substances: This explores phenomena involving the mixing...

This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Understanding the idea of a ‘substance’ is central to making sense of the variety of materials in the world and the way that they change. Research on students’ understanding shows that...
