Alternative slides prepared depending on whether you want to provide hot water or allow students to use Bunsen burners to boil water themselves. Plenary is past paper question.

Delivered to year 9 as part of the introduction to KS4 chemistry. This lesson teaches students how to name compounds (based on metals and the presence of oxygen). The lesson then has an activity for the students to complete familiar word equations and name compounds from their chemical formula. Students are then introduced to the conservation of mass. Animated slides help show students the importance of balancing equations and how to go about solving questions. Practice questions with answers are provided. Finally students are introduced to reactions that appear to gain or lose mass. Plenary is exam style questions with animated answers.

Designed to be delivered to KS4 groups. This continues from discussing parallel forces and explains to students how to calculate what forces occur when an object is on a slope. Using the example of a trolley on a hill the students are lead step by step through the different forces and how to draw a triangle of forces. From this they are given worked examples and then a differentiated task to determine confidence levels. Ends with a dicussion about forces acting in different directions.

Please see preview PDF as TES preview doesn’t support the powerpoint format. Delivered to years 10 and 11 top sets but can easily be altered for different abilities. Recaps balancing equations with visuals and worked examples, leads the students to understanding that equations represent the numbers of moles in a reaction. Worked example of reacting mass calculations to determine the amount of materials needed to provide a product (business context). Questions with answers for students to attempt. Plenary is exam style questions with answers.

Leads the students through the development of the periodic table from Newland's to Mendeleev's. Links to YouTube video that explains Mendeleev's discovery. Differentiated questions to help students understanding. Final task introduces the students to trends and helps them to see first hand how the table is used.

Animated powerpoint, used to deliver to my Year 7 of ranged ability. Introduces students to the history of microscopes including Robert Hooke, Includes guided learning to the parts of the microscope. Introduction to writing methods and drawing observed images. Calculations for magnification. Includes homework for students to research functions of each part to reinforce learning. Can be adjusted for different levels of ability

Guided powerpoint. Leading through quick recap on resistance, guide to practicals. Covers required practical 4 of physics / trilogy spec 2016. Used with my lower ability group but can be tweeked quite easily. Also attached past paper questions to help as random plenaries

(Apologies for poor previews, TES servers are having issues) Delivered to a year 10 class. Can be easily adapted for different ability levels and year groups. Introduces the students towards the concept of metabolism and metabolic pathways. Animations included to help show idea of 'series of chemical reactions'. Includes wall displays as resources for students to research the different pathways recommended by AQA. Exam style question for plenary

Designed to deliver to Year 10 group. Can be altered easily for any ability group. Introduces students to the relevance of glucose made in photosynthesis. Using displays or resources students can explore 6 different uses for glucose (differentiated worksheets included). Exam practice questions provided for extensions / homework. Simple retention task included to help with constructing concise answers. Quick research task (QR code provided) for nutrients in soil. Exam style question as plenary

Designed to deliver to KS4 group. Can be altered for a range of abilities. Reinforces law of conservation of energy Leads students through definition of closed system. Independent research (QR codes to BBC bitesize) to allow students to research different heat transfer types. Visual descriptions of each to help reinforce learning. Worksheet included regarding design and function of vacuum flask

This lesson is designed for Year 7 and can be delivered to any ability group. Recaps on reading the pH scale. Links to defining what a neutral solution is and what a neutralisation reaction is. Higher level students can be pushed by trying to assign chemical symbols to reactions. Real life application of neutralisation reactions is delivered. Leads to a simple practical for the students to develop their skills and see how to balance acids / alkali. Exam style questions for plenary.

Designed to be accessible for all abilities. I found this topic at first could be very daunting for students so have created this as a way to guide them step by step through the process while also making it so you can take a step back and allow the students to work out the patterns involved. Begins with a recap into radiation types (animated). Then describes alpha decay and beta decay. Worked examples of equations and practise equations as an activity. Plenary is exam style questions

This lesson was designed to deliver to KS4 but can be altered for lower levels if required, had greatly assisted my lower levels to understand and access this topic. Also a useful tie in for the physics topic on ‘radiation’. Preview in PDF Goes through the history of the atom from Ancient Greece, John Dalton, JJ Thomson and finally the Rutherford experiment. Animation shows the different paths the alpha particles took and enables the students to visualise how the different paths helped to explain the nuclear model and disprove the plum pudding. Plenary is exam style questions with answers provided.

This lesson introduces the halogens. It gives general information into their naming and uses linked to their properties. Using an animation it shows how the covalent bond is formed to allow the Halogens to be diatomic. Students are then lead through a step by step guide to explaining the reactivity of the Halogens with regards to their electrons and distance from nucleus. Displacement is explained using a simple anecdote. The experiment is provided if you wish to attempt this with your students. After explaining / practical there are equations questions to test the students learning. Plenary is exam style questions.

Teacher lead lesson which can be tailored to be used with student research. Easily delivered to KS3 or KS4. Introduces students to the topics of waves. Describes the motions and uses animated diagrams to show the difference in the direction the energy travels. Animation also included to show how only wave moves but the object does not.
