This full lesson PowerPoint (including practical activity) can be used to teach a broad range of abilities about evaporation and boiling, and how to evaporate the solvent from a solution. This lesson assumes that students have already had a lesson to train them in lighting and using Bunsen burners. If this has not been done, I have a suitable lesson available in my shop entitled “Science Practical Skills - Using Bunsen Burners”. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with independent learning activities) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about fossil fuels, how they form, and what the issues are with them. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

This full lesson PowerPoint and worksheet (with answers) will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Molar Volumes of Gases. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Triple Science classes, Higher tier only.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about how to make microscope slides, view them and draw them. This focuses on the practical use of microscopes and follows my theory lesson on "Microscopes and Magnification". The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full Lesson PowerPoint (including suggested practical activity) sufficient to teach a GCSE lesson on Paper Chromatography. This could be used a good starting point for teaching the new Edexcel 9-1 specification lessons CC2c/d (Combined Science) and SC2c/d (Triple Science). The resource is accessible for students, easy to follow and is appropriate for Foundation and Higher tiers.

This full lesson PowerPoint is designed to teach Year 7 students how to use specific scientific equipment to accurately measure volumes of liquids and masses of solids. This is the second in a series of three lessons I have planned which focus solely on teaching students about the basics of safe and accurate practical work. Visit my shop to find the other lessons in this series: Year 7 Equipment and Safety Year 7 Bunsen Burners Plus a whole catalogue of other KS3 Science and KS4 Chemistry lessons.

This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the benefits and limitations of different chemical bonding models. You will also need to download my freely available worksheet “SC7d_Chemical classification table and jumbled help sheet”. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

This full lesson PowerPoint is designed to teach Year 7 students about the names and uses of Scientific equipment, plus how they are drawn and labelled in scientific diagrams. This is the first in a series of three lessons I have planned which focus solely on teaching students about the basics of safe and accurate practical work. Visit my shop to find the other lessons in this series: Year 7 Measuring Skills Year 7 Bunsen Burners Plus a whole catalogue of other KS3 Science and KS4 Chemistry lessons.

This full Lesson PowerPoint will allow to teach the Higher-only specification points on Electrolysis, focusing on oxidation and reduction at the anode and cathode in terms of loss and gain of electrons. The lesson also introduces the concept of half equations and provides practice at writing these. I deliver this lesson after first exploring the basic principles of electrolysis in my earlier lesson “Electrolysis (CC10a / SC10a)”. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, HIGHER TIER ONLY.

PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Nanoparticles and the uses, properties and risks of nanoparticulate materials. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers.

PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Condensation Polymerisation. Consistent with the Chemistry specification, this lesson focuses mainly on drawing and understanding esterification between single carboxylic acid and alcohol molecules, rather than polymer chains. However, it does extend to encompass formation of polyesters for high-end students. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, HIGHER TIER ONLY. Best taught after completing my lesson SC22a on “Alkenes and Homologous Series”, which provides an intro to the structures of carboxylic acids and alcohols. **For one of the final summary tasks, you will need to get hold of Pearson Edexcel worksheet SC24c.2 “Monomers and Polymers”. Failing this, you could use slides 10 & 11 to prepare your own card sort which would substitute for the worksheet. Students’ progress can also be assessed simply using the yellow and pink box tasks on slide 9. **

This PowerPoint is designed to introduce students to Balanced Chemical Equations and links balanced equations with the Law of Conservation of Mass. The lesson is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is required learning for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers. Be aware: this resource is aims to teach students the basics of balancing equations and it assumes no prior knowledge / experience. As such, this content may take a whole lesson to cover with some classes but could be completed very quickly with students who have previous experience of balanced equations. Follow-up lessons on Calculations involving Mass are available from my shop individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

Full Lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Uses and Properties of Polymers, and also on the Problems with Polymers. Sometimes covered across two lessons, I have combined both into a single lesson for efficiency. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers.
