AQA GCSE Combined Science Chemistry C10 Using Resources: 6 lessons ready to teach, with a topic test
This is the Combined Science Trilogy version of C10 Using Resources, matched to the AQA 8464 specification. You get 5 teaching lessons and the 1 required practical as full lessons, all planned and ready to teach in editable PowerPoint.
What your classes work through
- Resources and sustainable development. Pupils sort timber and crude oil by whether they can be replaced as fast as they are used, explaining why oil is finite.
- Potable water. Pupils evaluate a conclusion that treated tap water boiling at 101°C must be pure water because it is safe to drink.
- Waste water treatment. Pupils describe the stages sewage from homes passes through at a sewage works and state what each stage removes.
- Life cycle assessment. Pupils use a life cycle assessment table to predict the carbon dioxide released per use as a plastic bag is reused more times.
- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Pupils weigh up reuse against recycling for a dairy's glass bottles and show why washing them uses less energy than melting.
The 1 required practical
- RP13 Water Purification. Pupils plan a distillation of sea water and use a boiling point of exactly 100°C as proof the collected liquid is pure.
Who it is for
Use it to teach C10 Using Resources in GCSE Combined Science Trilogy, covering sustainable development, potable water, waste water treatment, life cycle assessment and recycling. It also suits Combined Science Chemistry revision for KS4 and includes the water purification required practical.
How each lesson runs
Each C10 Using Resources lesson starts with a Do Now that recalls earlier learning, with the answers on the next slide. It then moves through I Do, We Do and You Do, with a model answer after each task. It finishes with the AQA-style question listed above, its mark scheme and an exit ticket. A specification slide names the AQA points the lesson covers, so you can check it against your scheme of work.
Topic test
The C10 Using Resources topic test covers the whole unit with AQA-style questions and comes with its mark scheme, both in Word and PDF.
