Results from first UCAS predictor exam

Dear Students,

Please see below your results from your first UCAS predictor exam.  Congratulations to those who have improved on their previous grades this year.  There are some students however who will need to prioritise their Chemistry revision for Monday in order to improve these current UCAS predictions.

Best wishes,

General Revision Activities

Dear all,

This is a general dump of a lot of worksheets, answer sheets, spec check lists and question sheets about Y1 chemistry. They are filed but they are not named in any particularly helpful way. Have a root through and see if there is anything helpful for you.

Cover Work for ERA

Dear Students,

Just a reminder of your cover work for next week.  Please make sure this is completed by Monday 15th (when I next see you all).

Cover work

LEL away on Tuesday

Hello, hello...

As you know, I'm not here on Tuesday. In my absence I'd like you to do a bit of reading/watching for the topic that we are about to begin....the dreaded Y13 material.

We're going to learn about Rates of Reaction again, but with more detail and maths and stuff. Could I ask that you watch the following videos and read the following pages to gain an understanding on:

http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicrates/orders.html
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/chem-kinetics/reaction-rates/v/rate-law-and-reaction-order
http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicrates/ordermech.html#top
maybe this one:
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/chem-kinetics/reaction-rates/v/rate-of-reaction

For you to do at home:
1. Orders of reaction - what they are, how one writes them, what do they really mean?
2. Rate equations and k - how does one write it out, how is it derived, how are units for k calculatioed?

We'll cover these ideas in class:
3. Methods of measuring rate - what can we do e.g. clock reactions, progress reactions, gas collection etc
4. What are the rate graphs and what do they show?

We will do some practical work when you're back, and some calculations and then finally apply all that you now know.

There's a trendy word for this now too - it's called flipped learning.

Enjoy
Ms Elias

Y12 Cover Work

Whilst I am away could you please:
1.   Mark your homework. You will need to go onto the blog and find the answers to the work. It will be in the most recent link called “Collision Theory and Boltzman Answers” (or similar)
2.   Complete the exam questions that are on the blog in the same folder, as preparation for your exam next week (titled Enthalpy and Hess) . The marks scheme is also there, so you can check your work.

3.   Homework – sheet CER12 Equilibrium and Le Chatelier to do for Monday. 

All the sheets are in here:

Module 3 Information

Cover Work for today

I have printed copies in my hand, and I'm outside BR02, or the work is below:

Cover – Year 12
Tuesday 7th Feb P5
We are about to begin the energy topic, please use this lesson to check you have a good understanding of the following ideas from GCSE. For some of you these ideas will be new and you may need to look at GCSE revision websites or a text book to clarify your ideas:
1.       Experiments to measure energy changes including the use of the Q=mcΔT equations and the way to collect data to then use this equation
2.       Ideas of endothermic and exothermic reactions, and how this relates to bond formation and bond breaking
3.       Energy profile diagrams – what are they and how are they used to show energy changes in reaction
4.       Consideration of where energy goes to or is removed from during a chemical reaction
5.       Examples of endothermic and exothermic reactions

You will not need to recall these in front of the class after ½ term, but I will expect you to have notes on these subjects and be able to answer questions.

Have a lovely holiday!

Yours

Ms Elias

Absent teacher - 12 CCh

Hello hello,

I'm sorry to say but our Friday lesson is going to be cut short, as I have to go to a meeting with some building contractors about taps and the like. I will be with you until 1358. I will give you work to do, and expect you to stay and pile through it, so don't feel too neglected.

I am also cancelling our lesson on Tuesday next week, when we were going to do PAG 4.3. The Festival of Ancient and Modern Science is being set up in the new build and I need to help with that AND go and be charming to Professor Robert Winston (off the telly). I am sorry and I will put some work on the blog, or give it to you tomorrow, so you know what to do.

I am keen if any of you would like to help people set up though, or if you'd like to ask Robert a question during his introductory speech in the shall. Just let me know.

Yours
Ms Elias
Dear year 12B

Cover work for ERA

Work sheet for 12C

Cover work for ERA

Dear Year 12,

I am sorry I am not in this morning.  I have a sinus infection.  Please complete the work described below.

All Chemists:
1)    Research and make notes on the following topics and key words:
The shape around each carbon of an alkene, explained in terms of electron pair repulsion.
Stereoisomerism in alkenes
E/Z isomerism
Cis/trans isomerism
Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules

2)    Learn these terms and explanations.  I will quiz you next lesson.

Don’t forget that that you also need to complete your exam practice questions on radical substitution.  You should make sure you have started this homework by today so that you can go to Science club on Tuesday after school if you get stuck.  (I plan to be in tomorrow)

Just 12c (because you should have had a double)


Complete the worksheet that I have uploaded onto the blog.
