Exam Board: AQA Level & Subject: GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy First teaching: September 2016 Next exams: June 2023 This Workbook will support and motivate students to reach their full potential with targeted questions and support. Provides plenty of practice opportunities for short- and long-answer questions on every topic Builds confidence with worked examples demonstrating how to answer different types of questions Further support from hints and tips explaining command words, advising how to approach questions and more The questions begin with confidence-building, lower demand questions and they are ramped throughout each topic. The workbook provides coverage of maths and practical skills as well as offering synoptic questions. The range of questions available encourages students to develop their skills in applying and analysing as well as recall. Frequent support notes provide hints and tips on strategies for decoding questions (for example by identifying key words in the question), key terminology, and how to write explanations and give the right amount of detail.

The demonstrations capture interest, teach, inform, fascinate, amaze, and perhaps, most importantly, involve students in chemistry. Nowhere else will you find books that answer, "How come it happens? . . . Is it safe? . . . What do I do with all the stuff when the demo is over?"
Shakhashiri and his collaborators offer 282 chemical demonstrations arranged in 11 chapters. Each demonstration includes seven sections: a brief summary, a materials list, a step-by-step account of procedures to be used, an explanation of the hazards involved, information on how to store or dispose of the chemicals used, a discussion of the phenomena displayed and principles illustrated by the demonstration, and a list of references. You'll find safety emphasized throughout the book in each demonstration.

Earth is made up of four basic parts: the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the biosphere. The atmosphere is made up of the gases that surround the planet. The hydrosphere consists of the water in the oceans, lakes, rivers, and air. The lithosphere is the rocky surface of Earth both on land and under the oceans. The biosphere encompasses all living things on Earth. The actions and interactions between these components are what make the Earth a constantly changing entity. Weather changes, rain falls, soil washes away, and plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, all through the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Clear and concise, ""Earth Chemistry"" explains these chemical or physical changes on Earth, exploring how the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere relate to and interact with one another.

The field of astrochemistry is constantly changing, and new space probes are sent into the solar system on a regular basis to research astronomical bodies. ""Chemistry of Space"" offers an overview of the latest information about the solar system, the planets, comets and meteors, and other features of our universe.Beginning with an explanation of the origin of the universe, otherwise known as the Big Bang theory, this new book discusses recent developments in our understanding of the chemical composition and chemical changes within new stars, comets and meteors, interstellar space, the planets, and the moon. Biographical sketches of important researchers in this field complete this enlightening volume, giving students a broader perspective of chemistry's role in space exploration.

Chemistry Now! 11-14 is one of three Pupil's Books that cover the requirements of the National Curriculum for science at Key Stage 3, the Common Entrance Examination at 13+ syllabus and equivalent junior science courses. Based on Chemistry Now! 11-14, the clear text and colourful illustrations and photographs fully explain the concepts and encourage background reading. Boxed sections are used to show how scientific ideas have developed and how they are applied in today's world. Throughout there are numerous questions that test a range of skills including comprehension, application, analysis and evaluation. These may be used as a basis for classwork or homework. There are also 'For discussion' sections to encourage group discussion. In this new edition, the Chapters have been reorganised to reflect the QCA Scheme of Work. There is also additional information on the tests for gases and compounds, mixtures and elements as well as expanded chapters on Rocks and Weathering and the Rock Cycle. Each book has a glossary and is supported by a Teacher's Resource Book that contains details of practical work.

The Penguin Dictionary of Chemistry is the ideal source of information for students of all sciences, whatever their level, and for anyone who encounters chemical terms in the course of their everyday work. Comprehensive, packed with vital information and illustrated throughout, it has now been substantially updated to take account of the very latest developments in this key subject area.

· Explains chemical terms from all branches of the subject, from AAS to zwitterions
· Includes concise entries on elements, compounds and other substances
· Offers succinct accounts of important chemical operations, including industrial processes
· Discusses important biochemical and environmental issues

The Teacher's Resource Pack for Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry (9701) includes a print handbook and a subscription to Boost, where you will find a range of digital resources to support your teaching. * Prepare thoroughly with a scheme of work, plus guidance on helping students approach their A Level studies and advice on teaching students whose first language is not English. * Deliver engaging lessons with a set of lesson plans addressing key aspects of the syllabus. * Support students with resources on the mathematical skills and chemical data required for their studies. * Prepare for assessment with sample exam questions and annotated answers, plus revision advice and checklists.

The Forensic Aspects of Poisons introduces students to the basic principles of forensic toxicology and the role of poisons in forensic science. Emphasis is placed on the common drugs and poisons that are encountered by a practicing forensic toxicologist and the approach to determining their medicolegal role in establishing the cause of death and disease. Topics explored include homicide by chemical means, the role of drugs and chemicals in other types of accidental and intentional deaths, and how the interpretation of such cases is utilized in the criminal court setting. An introduction to the basic applied methods of urine drug testing, human performance toxicology, and sports testing is also provided.
