A worksheet on writing chemical formulae, with answers. Two versions are included, PowerPoint and Word. In this worksheet, students will develop the skills of: Using a particle diagram to identify which elements are in a compound, and the relative numbers of atoms of each element in the compound Using particle diagrams and/or written information to write the chemical formulae for compounds Naming familiar two-element compounds Drawing particle diagrams for compounds This worksheet is scaffolded with some gaps filled in to model how to correctly complete the table. This is based on the KS3 Activate curriculum, from Chapter 2 “Elements, atoms and compounds” from Activate 1. However, this should be suitable for any KS3 class or lower ability KS4 class studying chemical formulae.

A revision placemat designed for a higher ability year 7 class based on using and interpreting periodic tables. It could be used for a lower ability KS4 class. The resource contains two different versions, a ‘challenge’ sheet and a ‘support’ sheet. There are only slight differences between the two. These words can be removed if you do not wish the student to know which sheet they are receiving. The placemat contains: Identifying the key groups in the periodic table (e.g. alkali metals, halogens, noble gases, transition metals) Identifying groups and periods in the periodic table Using the periodic table to find an element’s chemical symbol, mass number and atomic number Defining key terms that describe an element’s property, e.g. conductive, malleable, brittle The organisation of the periodic table Using an element’s melting point and boiling point to determine its state at room temperature History of the periodic table (Newlands and Mendeleev)

A revision placemat designed for KS3 sutdents based on nutrition. This could also be suitable for lower ability KS4 students. The revision placemat covers: Which nutrients are found in which foods The function of each nutrient in the body Labelling the digestive system The action of protease, lipase and amylase Labelling the parts of an enzyme / Lock and key theory Food tests Effect of temperature on enzymes

Revision placemat designed to review topic 4.1.1 from AQA Combined Science, Biology paper 1. This topic is on cell biology and microscopy. This revision placemat covers: Labelling animal and plant cells Matching organelles to their functions Magnification calculations Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Examples of tissues, organs and organ systems in animals and plants Specialised cells and their adaptations

A color-coded worksheet to help students work through word equations for neutralisation reactions. Really useful to help lower ability or KS3 classes visualise where the products of neutralisation reactions come from. Includes a worked example and answer key.

A knowledge organiser designed for a year 10 class studying the AQA GCSE Combined Science topic on digestion and enzymes. This knowledge organiser contains: Diagram of the human digestive system Function of each digestive organ Model for enzyme action Lock and key theory for enzyme action Effect of temperature on enzymes (graph and explanations) Effect of pH on enzymes (graph and explanations) Digestive enzymes (amylase, protease, lipase) with diagrams Food tests (iodine, Benedict’s, Biuret, Sudan III)
