A simple to use resource targeted towards KS4 students (yrs 14-16). By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what happens to an electron during an ionic bond. Describe how ionic bonds form cations and anions. Explain why ionic structures form.

A simple to follow resource aimed toward KS5 / A-level students (yrs 17-18) regarding s, p, d and f orbitals, the order in which they filled mentioning their spin and how electrons respond to quanta of energy. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the different types of orbitals. Describe the order in which orbitals are filled. Explain why electrons promote to other orbitals.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State the 3 states of matter. Describe the changes in state. Explain why a flat line on a cooling-curve shows a change in state.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the main components of the early and late atmosphere. Describe how the atmosphere changed over the years. Explain why scientists believe the atmosphere changed in this way.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify long and short chain hydrocarbons. Describe the process of cracking. Explain why companies would use cracking.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify 2 kinds of fuels which cause pollution. Describe the effect of pollution. Explain why scientists are developing Hydrogen cars.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what’s meant by combustion. Describe complete and incomplete combustion. Explain why materials can combust completely and incompletely.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State the names of the first 5 alkanes. Describe the general structure of alkanes. Compare alkanes and alkenes.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what is meant by a Hydrocarbon. Describe the process of fractional distillation. Explain why fractional distillation is used.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Recall the equation to calculate rate of reaction. Describe how to read a products made / time graph. Explain why the gradient of the line can change because of external factors. E.g. temperature rise.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what’s meant by an exothermic reaction. State what’s meant by an endothermic reaction. Describe what happens to the energy during an exothermic and endothermic reaction. Explain why exothermic and endothermic reactions are used

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what’s meant by activation energy. Describe how catalysts affect a chemical reaction. Explain why companies should use catalysts.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify 3 factors that increase the rate of reaction. Describe how these factors increase the rate of reaction. Explain why chemicals are best kept in a dark room at cold temperature and not moved often.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what is meant by the rate of a reaction. Describe how to measure the rate of reaction. Explain why the method of using a mark at the bottom of a beaker is not a perfect way of measuring reaction rate.
