PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Choosing Materials (Ceramics, Metals and Polymers) and Composite Materials. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. You will also need to download my free worksheet “SC26a-b Materials Research sheet”.

These PowerPoints will allow you to teach students how to calculate reacting masses (the mass of product made by a given mass of reactant and vice versa). Two PowerPoints are provided: Higher-tier lesson The PowerPoint (plus worksheet with exam-style practice questions) will allow you to teach Higher-tier only content on stoichiometry and then use this alongside numbers of moles to calculate reacting masses. Foundation-tier lesson Foundation students need to learn how calculate reacting masses but they do not need to learn how to calculate numbers of moles. The PowerPoint aimed at Foundation students revisits Relative Formula Mass and shows how to use this to approach Reacting Masses in a different way. It can also be used as backup for Higher students who struggle with Moles. The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes! Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including the preceding lesson on Moles) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

This PowerPoint (plus worksheet) are designed to introduce the meaning of concentration in Chemistry and teaches students how to use cubic decimetres to calculate concentration of solutions in g dm-3. 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 covers concentration in g dm-3 only. Triple Science students will also need to learn about concentrations in mol dm-3 but this is covered in a later lesson, once moles have been introduced Follow-up lessons on Calculations involving Mass are available from my shop individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

This PowerPoint (containing a worksheet) will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Electroplating (Triple Science Only). It also contains slides that provide essential background for the Core Practical involving Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate (CC10a). The Core Practical prep can be taught separately but I find it fits better alongside electroplating for Triple Science classes. **Be aware: this lesson works best if you have access to Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Chemistry textbooks. It’s not essential; other resources can be used and all information needed for students to complete the worksheets is found in the slides. However, if textbooks are available, the worksheet can be completed as an independent learning task. ** Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Electrolysis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

Full lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about ores, mining and recycling of metals. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. You will also need the free resource "8He Cookie Mining" from my TES shop.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical activities and independent learning tasks) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the difference between pure metals and alloys. 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 sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the differences between atoms and molecules, and elements and compounds, using the air e breathe as context. The lesson contains a range of independent and practical learning activities which can be mixed and matched as appropriate for your class. 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 unicellular organisms and how their cellular structures are similar and/or different from multicellular organisms. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Alcohols and Ethanol Production in one single lesson. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Best taught after completing my lesson SC22a on "Alkenes and Homologous Series", which provides an intro to the structures of the alcohol homologous series.

This PowerPoint (containing exam-style practice questions) will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry content on Limiting Reactants and using moles to calculate the limiting reactant from mass data. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, HIGHER TIER ONLY! Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including the preceding lessons on Moles and Stoichiometry) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

These PowerPoints and worksheets will allow you to teach HIGHER TIER ONLY GCSE Chemistry content on Moles. This lesson introduces the concept of a mole in terms of Avogadro’s number, exemplifies how to calculate the number of moles from mass of a substance and vice versa, and shows how to use moles to calculate numbers of particles of a substance **There are two versions of this lesson and worksheet provided. One is aimed at Triple Science students only, as it includes coverage of concentrations in mol dm-3, which is something that Combined Science students do not need to learn ** Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including subsequent lessons on using moles) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

This PowerPoint plus practical method sheet will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities how to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from practical data they have collected. The resource meets the 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 is best taught following my lesson on “Formula Mass and Empirical Formulae”. Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including the preceding theory lesson) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
