Having taught in the UK and abroad, I've experienced teaching many different syllabi including SABIS, AQA, WJEC and Cambridge. I develop resources to help teachers model key concepts, provide practice for students and include answers to help students self-assess their work. Planning for a 27 lesson week can be stressful to say the least, so I hope you find my resources useful. Thank you for choosing my lesson/s, I hope they enrich your teaching practice and make your life easier.

Group 0: Noble Gases is a comprehensive and interactive PowerPoint resource designed for GCSE-level chemistry students. This lesson focuses on the unique properties, reactivity, and applications of noble gases, aligning with the AQA curriculum.
The lesson begins with engaging starter activities that review atomic structure and prompt students to identify why noble gases are unreactive. Learning objectives include:
Defining noble gases and understanding their electronic configurations.
Explaining their chemical inertness based on their full outer electron shells.
Exploring real-world uses, such as helium in balloons and argon in lightbulbs.
Core content highlights:
The physical properties of noble gases, such as being colorless, monoatomic, and non-flammable.
Trends in boiling and melting points down the group, explained through atomic size and intermolecular forces.
Practical applications that showcase the relevance of noble gases in everyday life.
The resource includes fill-in-the-blank activities, video-based questions, and thought-provoking practice tasks. Students analyze trends, predict properties of unobserved elements, and answer questions about boiling points, density, and atomic radii. Advanced questions challenge students to explain rare noble gas compounds, encouraging critical thinking.
Formatted as a .pptx file, this PowerPoint is compatible with most devices and ideal for classroom use or independent study. It features modern visuals, real-world examples, and interactive tasks that make chemistry engaging and accessible.
Perfect for teachers seeking a detailed, curriculum-aligned resource, this lesson provides a clear understanding of the noble gases and their significance in chemistry and beyond.
