A lesson looking at the need to find alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels. The advantages and disadvantages of different fuels are considered.

A fully resourced lesson, including practical on formulations. The presentation introduces the theory of formulations before students try to create a formulation of oil, water and emulsifier that takes a required time to separate. This time can be adjusted as required. There are two versions of the same PowerPoint for those who have versions that do not support some fonts

A fully resources lesson on life cycle assessments. There are notes on the PowerPoint to help deliver the content / explain how to use the resources.

A chance for pupils to write extended answers on misconceptions / difficult concepts from C1. I have included a set of sample answers that can also be provided. I sometimes print this on A3 paper and get pupils in small groups to work collaboratively.

An introductory lesson on organic chemistry. Pupils are reminded of separation techniques used to separate mixtures and the definition of a mixture before the idea of crude oil as a mixture that needs to be separated to make it useful is introduced

A presentation and worksheet guiding pupils through identification of the ions responsible for acidity and alkalinity and the ionic equations to describe the formation of water during neutralisation reactions. Neutralisation equations are also consider along with salt formation

Produce your own set of cards for pupils to arrange or print out and put both sheets on one A4 sheet for pupils to cut and stick. Ideal for medium to low ability to reinforce the similar techniques in some methods

Stoichiometry pathway to help pupils with calculations in chemistry. The presentation also covers the topic of molar gas volume.

Presentations and worksheets for 2 lessons. The first lesson introduces the concept of neutralisation for GCSE and how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. The second lesson is a practical on the preparation of a sample of a salt by the neutralisation of an acid with a suitable metal.

A presentation and a couple of worksheets to guide students through the concept of electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. The presentation reminds pupils of OIL RIG and the electrical conductivity of ionic compounds before tackling the more challenging aspects of the topic

A fully resourced lesson starts with a word search to find elements from the Periodic Table. A quick recap of information students may be aware of from KS3 before discussing groups and periods. There is a colouring activity to label various sections of a Periodic Table that is then used to complete a group activity. A series of questions to challenge understanding is used to secure knowledge before a plenary that ask students to try and talk for as long as possible about what they have learnt about the Periodic Table

A presentation and worksheet about climate change and how it link to global warming. The presentation has an embedded video and various activites

A presentation and resources to teach the difference between global warming and climate change and to consider the consequences of climate change. Lesson 5 on the AQA unit for Chemistry of the atmosphere, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

A lesson with a quick on the draw activity. A video in embedded in the presentation and information sheets are provided as a reference source to find the answers to the activity. This is the second lesson in a series, but can be taught stand alone

An introductory lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. The concept of exothermic and endothermic reactions is introduced with an engaging practical. The presentation discusses the idea of conservation of energy and reactions converting heat and chemical energy. The lesson is fully resourced

A presentation about the reactivity of metals with water, introducing the concept of reduction and oxidation in terms of oxygen

A couple of presentation that teach pupils how to draw dot and cross diagrams to represent bonding in ionic compounds and to show how the ionic lattice is formed. The resource also contains worksheet to support the working out the formula of ionic compounds. A cut out activity based on ion charge can be used to support students

How much do we depend on the Earth’s natural resources? - A presentation that poses this question and then gets pupils to interpret graphs. Key terms and ideas are discussed

A presentation with an embedded video and activities to teach pupils about - What is acid rain? the cause, effect and solutions. Thanks to other TES users whose ideas / work I have adapted. This links in to the KS3/KS4 environmental chemistry curriculum content and complements 3 others lessons I have available on TES, as a bundle called environmental chemistry

Word searches on common lab equipment. There are two versions (with answers) - one is a simpler version as it doesn’t have diagonal words or words written backwards
