In this investigation, students extract iron from a breakfast cereal and consider how our bodies are able to digest iron by looking at its reactions with hydrochloric acid.

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

• Distinguish a chemical from a physical property.
• Use observations to identify substances with similar chemical properties.
• Sequence elements in the Periodic Table...

This activity is provided by ASE and describes a novel way to conduct a number of chemistry experiments on a small scale with clearly visible results and needing a minimum of equipment.

The resource contains...

This issue of Catalyst includes the following articles:

The Nuffield Chemistry Background Books appeared as a series of colourful, highly illustrated, short readers to amplify and extend work done in class. Some of the books described applications of chemistry, others were historical while a few focused on particular...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about enthalpy at A level.  Curriculum links include heat transfer, enthalpy profile diagrams, exothermic, endothermic, reaction profile diagrams, enthalpy change of reaction, enthalpy change of formation, enthalpy change of combustion...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about rates at A level. Curriculum links include  collision theory, rates experiments, reaction mechanisms, rate equations, half-life, calculations, order of reaction, graphs, rate-determining step, and kinetics.

Although...

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

• Explain why burning a fossil fuel adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
• Recognise that carbon dioxide molecules produced from a combustion reaction may eventually spread...

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

• Identify the particles that make up the structure represented by chemical symbols and formulae.
• Identify the particles that make up a solution.
• Explain observed changes...

Teachers’ Guide II and Students’ Book II of Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry covered the seven topics which constituted the work suggested for the second year of the course. Students were also expected to work though one Special Study.

There were eighteen topics in Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry divided into two, corresponding to the two years of a post-16 A-level course.

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

• Describe the effect of different battery voltages on simple circuits.
• Describe the voltage of a battery, measured with a voltmeter, as the strength with which the battery can ‘push...

Different fuels are considered and how energy to move transport is released during combustion. This lesson also looks at the story of steam tube trains and our changing understanding of the effects of emissions from combustion on health.

Learning outcomes:

• Could represent combustion reactions...
