AQA GCSE Chemistry – Rates of Reaction – Gas Syringe Method

Help GCSE Chemistry students develop confidence in answering extended-response questions on the AQA Rates of Reaction required practical.

This scaffolded exam-practice resource focuses on investigating how concentration affects the rate of a chemical reaction by measuring the volume of gas produced using a gas syringe.

What's included:

• A 6-mark exam-style question based on the gas syringe method
• Success criteria, command word guidance and key scientific vocabulary
• A scaffolded fill-in-the-gaps activity with a word bank
• A model answer to support independent learning and self-assessment
• A printable PDF and an editable PowerPoint version

Skills covered:

• Describing a valid practical method using a gas syringe
• Investigating the effect of concentration on reaction rate
• Identifying independent, dependent and control variables
• Measuring gas volume over time
• Improving reliability through repeated measurements
• Recording and evaluating experimental results

Suitable for: AQA GCSE Chemistry and Combined Science students, classroom activities, revision lessons, homework and exam preparation.
