 | There are three separate downloadable resources available which are: F1 Teacher Resource
F1 PowerPoint Resource
F1 Student Resource All resources compliment each other and for best use we suggest you use all resources in conjunction with each other during delivery of the module to your class/audience. F1 Teacher Resource The teacher resource for F1 is a document with facts, key points and slide descriptions, which can be used as a basis of a script, created to aid the delivery of the chemistry of F1 module. The teacher resource is best delivered in conjunction with the PowerPoint resource (presentation), also downloadable from the site. A downloadable student resource worksheet supplements the module and can be used as a student handout. The resources are suitable for use to aid science teaching for 14 -16 year olds and introduce the topics of alkanes, crude oil distillation, petrol, diesel and alternative fuels. The teacher resource examines in depth the science behind fractional distillation and introduces and explains chemical structures of alkanes, looks at these with reference to fuels and placing the chemistry in a sporting context. F1 PowerPoint Resource The PowerPoint resource for F1 is a presentation designed for teachers to use as a visual tool when using the teacher resource. The presentation looks briefly at the history of F1 and then looks more closely at some of the chemistry behind fractional distillation, alkanes and fuels. The presentation is visual with pictures as well as bulleted key points and diagrams. The student resource questions have been added to the presentation along with the answers on new slides to allow the answering of the questions to take place in a group situation or to be used for group revision purposes. F1 Student Resource The student resource for F1 is a three page document consisting of questions, diagrams, pictures and information covering the subject. The first two pages are designed to be used mid module to aid learning and the final ‘revision sheet’ is to be used at the end of the module to help students recap on the material covered and aid teachers to check that learning has taken place. The questions can be used during delivery of the PowerPoint presentation if preferred or as a plenary or homework exercise. The student resource questions cover fractional distillation, alkanes and alternative fuels.

| About the Event : Formula 1, Chinese GP, 2008 |
| The penultimate race of the 2008 Formula 1 Grand Prix season is this year taking place in China. At this race last year Lewis Hamilton could have clinched the title but tyre trouble and a small mistake on entry to the pit lane stopped this from happening. |

| About Formula 1 |
Usually abbreviated to F1 but also known as Grand Prix racing, it is the most expensive sport in the world!
The layout of a circuit where the cars race varies widely, however each circuit usually features a stretch of straight road on which the cars race at high speeds, often well above 300 km/h (190 mph). In most cases the circuit runs in a clockwise direction, as anticlockwise circuits have predominately left handed corners which can cause drivers neck problems. This is due to the enormous lateral forces generated by F1 cars pulling their heads in the opposite direction to normal.
