This website has resources about the new Junior Certificate specification:
The link Below contains a poster of all the new Learning Outcomes which is essential when the teacher is planning .

As there is new learning outcomes on the specification, below in a link for teachers to help them learn in depth about the new material they will be teaching.

In this lesson the students will learn why beetroot/red cabbage works as an acid/base indicator. They will then be given the task to make their own indicator and use the indicator to find the pH of a variety of substances. They will then be comparing the results of the natural indicator will the results of the universal indicator(these results were obtained in the previous class).

Acids And Bases Have Two Different Faces

# data[].attributes.body
This website had many great resources, below I have chosen the ones I believed to be most useful.
The link below would be a good way to introduce the new leaning outcome to the students. The students could view the video at home my themselves or the teacher could play it in class. After the video their is a quiz. This will be useful to assess how much the students can remember from the video. If the students know their is a quiz following the video they will be more engaged.

This link was  found on Scoilnet , it allows the students to virtually measure the pH of a substance. It is student friendly and very easy to use.

The next link is a resource for teachers. It includes an inquiry activity booklet. This will help the teacher with incorporating inquiry based learning into the lesson.

This PowerPoint is also visually appealing for the students and will help students to remain focused throughput the lesson. It also includes two inquiry based investigations.

This worksheet is for an inquiry based activities whereby the students have to come up with their own hypothesis, procedure, results and conclusion.

This is a resource a teacher could use in the classroom. It involves using pH indicator to create a Chemical Rainbow. To incorporate NoS, the teacher could give the students the apparatus to come up with their own procedure to carry out the investigation.

Making and Using Natural Indicators!
The students will make their own indicators from beetroot/red cabbage and then compare which gives a more accurate colour change when added to an acid/base. I feel this will incorporate NoS into the lesson.

The students will use the apparatus given to them to visually display a dilute and concentrated substance. * The students must remember they can only change one variable. The students will then use this to explain how you would make a dilute and concentrated acid.

This video is clear and concise. It also helps to link in the CW 9 and BW 4 Outcomes into the lesson.

I used this peer reviewed paper to incorporate inquiry based learning into my lessons. It appends a list of successful ways to include inquiry based learning to basically any concept in science as well as a examples of inquiry based activities which I used in my lessons.

This coincides with what I learnt in lectures. It talks about the 5 E instructional mode which I incorporated into my planning.

This resource will allow the students to brainstorm neutralisation reactions in our everyday life.  By relating the learning outcome to the lives of the students, there will be a greater interest and further inquiry on the LO.

This website contains a demonstration of many of the possible investigations that can be done in the classroom. Some schools don't have the equipment to carry out some of the experiments so this website will aid the students to gain a visual representation of the investigation.

This is a series of Junior Certificate Chemistry Experiments in videos.
Filtration, Evaporation, distillation, Chromatography, rusting, pH of materials, Prepare sodium chloride, prepare hydrogen, prepare oxygen, prepare carbon dioxide.

Junior Cert - Science experiments - Chemistry
Junior Certificate Mandatory Chemistry Experiments.
OC2a Filtration
Separating Mixtures by Filtration

OC2b Evaporation
To Separate a Saltwater Mixture by Evaporation

OC2c Distillation
To Separate a Saltwater Mixture by Distillation
In this episode we will separate a mixture of sat and water by distillation. Distillation allows us to keep both the water and the salt from the mixture. Distillation is also commonly used to separate two liquids, e.g. water and alcohol.

OC2d Chromatography
This video shows a paper chromatography experiment conducted to separate the different pigments present in a wet erase marker.

OC46 Investigate conditions for rusting
In this experiment we will investigate the conditions necessary for rust to form. We will see that we need oxygen and water in order for rust form.

OC19 pH of a variety of materials
We check if things are acidic or basic

OC38 Prepare a sample of sodium chloride
Titration: Acid + Base = Salt + Water
We make some table salt by mixing the right amount of acid and base

OC51 React zinc and hydrochloric acid
In this experiment, we will make hydrogen using hydrochloric acid and zinc. The reaction will produce hydrogen gas which we will collect in test tubes and test.

OC22a Show that 20% of air is oxygen

OC24 Prepare and test oxygen gas
In this experiment we will make oxygen using the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by manganese dioxide.

OC27 How to make Carbon Dioxide and Examine its Properties
In this experiment I will show you how to make carbon dioxide using hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate.
Carbon Dioxide does not support combustion and is more dense than air
Limewater test for Carbon Dioxide
