BTEC First Applied Science

Unit 4 Applications of Chemical Substances

By: Diane Canwell and Jon Sutherland

ISBN: 978-1-4085-0806-0

RRP: £50 +VAT

Unit 4 covers aspects of organic compounds used in society, bonding and nanochemistry, and exothermic and endothermic reactions.  Tailored towards the latest Edexcel specifications, this unit is broken down into learning outcomes. Each learning outcome can be taught using a selection of ready-made resources including:

  • An introduction to the topic with learning outcomes identified. Ideal for front-of-class teaching and for students to re-visit independently.
  • Information delivery presented in a stimulating way through presentations and videos to illustrate key concepts and engage students.
  • Learning activities including Drag and Drops, Mazes, Matching Pairs and Shuffling Games allowing students to assess their understanding of topics. Great for kinaesthetic learners.
  • Extended practice with WebQuests building on key concepts and encouraging independent research; perfect for developing more advanced students.
  • Checking understanding with Test Yourself questions, which students have to answer at the beginning of the learning outcome. These are auto-marked and provide feedback so students know where and how they need to improve.
  • Assessment support with On Your Marks, explaining performance criteria and assessment task sheets for each unit.
