In this chemistry worksheet, students complete a six question multiple choice quiz about chemistry. This is an on-line interactive worksheet.
Curated OER
Micro-organisms
Learners examine how micro-organisms are living organisms that are often too small to be seen. They explain that micro-organisms may be beneficial or harmful.
Curated OER
How We See Things
Students explain that mirrors reflect light. They examine how when a beam of light is reflected from a surface, its direction changes.
Curated OER
Changing Circuits
Pupils participate in an online lesson to explain how to make bulbs brighter or dimmer in a series circuit by changing the number or type of components.
