Introduction

We have collated these video resources to support the remote teaching of some common practical topics for A-levels in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Scottish Higher and Advanced Highers and the Republic of Ireland Leaving Certificate. There is a much greater variety of practical techniques and investigations on the syllabus for 16–18 year olds across each of the regions, compared to the core practical activities for 14–16 year olds. While some practicals are common across all exam boards, there can be differences in approach and learning outcome.

Alongside the videos you will find additional teaching points, suggested questions and links to related resources to help integrate these videos into lessons and the wider curriculum. Practical videos will be of benefit to students who are revising content they have already covered in school, as a flipped learning tool before live practical work or as an aid to remote teaching.
