These downloadable resources investigate oxidation states.

The linked resources are adjuncts to the paper 'Redox reduxed: Application of a non-analogous definition for oxidation state' published in the September 2020 issue of ASTA's peer-reviewed Teaching Science journal (i.e., Issue 66.3). The paper, the abstract of which appears in the additional information field, investigates redox reactions and electrochemistry and the downloadable file named 'Appendix B - Redox and Electrochemistry Investigation' gives the details for a student investigation into the subject.

This downloadable resource looks at verifying the movement of tectonic plates.

The resources include a worksheet whereby students use various online resources to determine the speed of movement of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth (a separate copy with example answers is also provided). A copy of the original article on which these worksheets are based is also provided to act as teacher notes for the activity.
