Edexcel CC11c Oxidation and Reduction. This powerpoint introduces students to oxidation and reduction both in terms of oxygen and electrons. A differentiated worksheet is included to practice this skill.

Edexcel CC5c Properties of Ionic Compounds. This presentation starts by looking at the particles and forces present in ionic compounds. It then explains why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points and finishes by looking at why ionic compounds conduct electricity. This presentation also includes 3 differentiated worksheets and refers to the CC5c.1 practical from Edexcel looking at testing and identifying ionic compounds.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8c Bases and Salts. This powerpoint starts by looking at naming salts made from metal oxides and acids. It explains what happens to the ions during salt formation and then guides students as to how to make a soluble salt in preparation for the core practical next lesson.

Edexcel CC11d Life Cycle Assessment and recycling. This introduces students to the life cycle assessment for various products including metals, paper and plastic.

Edexcel CC7b Allotropes of carbon. This presentation explores some giant molecular structures including diamond, graphite. fullerenes and graphene. It uses the structure to explain the properties and compare them.

Edexcel CC9c Moles. This presentation guides students through calculating moles and number of particles in a substance. IT includes a differentiated worksheet as well.

Edexcel CC8g Solubility. This powerpoint starts with a demo of lead nitrate and potassium iodide reacting together to give a bright yellow precipitate. I try and and make this a bit of a magic show! This then leads on to looking at the solubility rules and deciding which salts are soluble or not. After some practice of finding the precipitate, the students are then shown how to make an insoluble salt. The lesson finishes with an exit ticket which could be handed in so that the teacher can find out what students are still unsure of.

Edexcel CC8f Reactions of acids with metals and carbonates. This powerpoint starts by looking at the tests for hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It then looks at how metals react with acids and how metal carbonates react with acids discussing what products are formed in each case. It then guides the students slowly through writing ionic equations step by step, mentioning spectator ions and half equations.

Edexcel CC11b Metal ores and metal extraction. This powerpoint takes students through how the method of extraction of a metal is based upon the reactivity series. It includes information on 2 biological methods of extraction and also includes a differentiated worksheet.

Edexcel CC7c Properties of metals. This presentation explores the typical physical properties of metals and how the structure of metals explains these properties. A differentiated worksheet is included.

This is a series of 12 lessons for the first chemistry unit of AQA Chemistry Combined science. It includes powerpoints and differentiated worksheets for the following lessons: Atoms, elements and compounds Atomic mass Isotopes Writing Equations Mixtures Filtration and crystallisation Distillation Chromatography Electronic structure The early Periodic Table The Modern Periodic Table Groups and trends

Edexcel CC2 Methods of Separation. This is a series of powerpoints for the Chemistry Topic CC2 Methods of Separation. It includes the following lessons: CC2a Mixtures CC2b Filtration and Crystallisation CC2c Paper Chromatography CC2d Distillation CC2e Drinking Water It also includes the core prac - investigating inks

A stand alone presentation about writing word and symbol equations. This can be used during revision sessions or as part of topic Edexcel CC8 acids and bases. I have used it as a refresher at the start of year 11 too. The booklet that accompanies the presentation can be used in conjunction with the powerpoint or as a stand alone refresher/revision tool at any time during KS4. I often use it as a homework for year 11.

Edexcel CC9a Mass and empirical formulae. This presentation guides students through relative atomic mass, relative formula mass and determining empirical formulae. A differentiated worksheet is included as well.

Edexcel CC4c Electronic configuations. This presentation explores the how to work out the configuration of an element and how it is related to its position in Periodic Table.

Edexcel CC10 revision of electrolysis. This has a differentiated starter to cover the main points of electrolysis. It then has graded questions for the student to work through. This works well at the end of teaching this topic or as part of exam revision.
