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.

Structure and Properties of Simple Covalent Molecules is an engaging and detailed PowerPoint resource designed for GCSE-level chemistry students. This lesson explores the characteristics of simple covalent molecules, their bonding, and their physical properties, aligning with key curriculum standards.
The lesson begins with a starter activity reviewing bonding types and drawing dot-and-cross diagrams for water and nitrogen, ensuring students are engaged and prepared for the topic. Learning objectives include:
Describing the limitations of different molecular representations (dot-and-cross, ball-and-stick, and displayed formula diagrams).
Defining intermolecular forces and their impact on molecular properties.
Explaining why simple covalent molecules have low melting and boiling points and why they do not conduct electricity.
Core content is enhanced with:
Comparisons of molecular representations to highlight their advantages and disadvantages.
An introduction to intermolecular forces as attractions between molecules, distinct from covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds.
An explanation of how molecule size affects the strength of intermolecular forces and trends in melting and boiling points.
Real-world connections, such as why pure water doesn’t conduct electricity but saltwater does.
Interactive activities and review questions test students’ understanding of key ideas, including trends in molecular size, bonding properties, and conductivity. Students are challenged to apply concepts to examples like fluorine and bromine, fostering critical thinking.
Formatted as a .pptx file, this resource is compatible with most devices and is perfect for classroom teaching or independent learning. It includes modern visuals and tasks to engage students effectively.
