This is all the resources I created for the TDA element of AQA ELC double science. It includes powerpoints for each TDA for component 1,2,3, 4, 5 and 6, which includes a method card sort. It also includes 2 versions of the TDA record sheet - a lower ability and medium ability version. There is also a powerpoint to be used to teach variables and also graph work.

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 CC10a Electrolysis. This presentation explores the apparatus sued in electrolysis and the terminology used. It explains why solid ionic substances can not conduct electricity and then takes higher students through the skill of writing half equations and using OILRIG to work out reduction and oxidation. IT also includes 3 differentiated worksheets.

This needs laminating back to back and hole punching at one end. It then present s the students with a simple flip book that shows all the key higher order thinking ( HOT) words linked to Blooms for students to challenge themselves and understand how to get to the next level in their work. I put a few on each table each lesson so that students got used to using them.

Edexcel CC5a Ionic Bonds. This presentation usually takes about 3 or 4 lessons depending upon how quickly the students grasp the concept. It is worth spending time ensuring full comprehension as this is one of the fundamentals in chemistry. It starts by looking at how ions form, then moves onto drawing ions and ionic bonding diagrams ( dot and cross diagrams) Finally it ends by looking at charges on ions and how they link to the position in the Periodic Table. 3 differentiated worksheets are also included with this bundle.

This is the fifth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Investigations’ and allows students to undertake an investigation early in the year. I have included an investiagtion title page for Y7,8,9,10 and 11 ( please look in the notes section at the bottom of the powerpoint to find out which is most suitable) . I have not included many details of the investigations as the point is for the students to do this for themselves. This may take 2 lessons depending upon the ability of the students in the class. The presentation should be self explanatory . The next lesson is ‘Drawing graphs’

An introduction to basic quantitative analysis including making standard solutions, titrations and using titration results in calculations. The presentation can be used as a stand alone lesson when revising or used in conjunction with the booklet when teaching this topic.

This is a stand alone presentation I use for after school revision throughout the year to show students how to approach calculations involving moles. The slides can be adapted or quantities changed each week so that students practice new problems each time.

A lesson on Global Warming for year 8. Also included is the student mat and placemat. This was designed for an interview lesson to reduce the need for using books. It was rated as an outstanding lesson.

This is the third lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Using the Bunsen Burner’ and names the different parts of the Bunsen Burner, Shows students how to safely use the Bunsen Burner and the difference between the safety flame and the heating flame. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a story card that i laminate to hand out as part of the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Visiting variables’

Edexcel CC9b Conservation of mass. This presentation allows students to practice calculating the concentration of solutions as well as guiding them through calculating reacting masses. A differentiated worksheet is included as well.

Edexcel CC6a Chemistry Covalent Bonding. This is a complete lesson on covalent bonding showing learners how to draw covalent bonding diagrams using the dot and cross method. It also includes a worksheet to practice this.

This powerpoint introduces learners to domestic electricity. It includes how to : Wire a plug correctly Explain how fuses work and the need for Earth wires Explain how energy is transferred in electrical appliances

This is a powerpoint I use at the start of year 8 to familiarise students with some of the maths skills they will need including rounding with decimal places, rounding with significant figures and using standard form. This sits nicely with my other year 8 powerpoint about the scientific method and results and graphs.

This is a series of 9 lessons that cover the AQA C2 Chemistry topic Structure and Bonding. It includes powerpoints and worksheets for the following lessons: Ionic Bonding Ionic Lattices Covalent Bonding Metallic Bonding States of matter Properties of ionic compounds Polymers Alloys Carbon structures

This is a series of 5 lessons that covers the AQA C3 Chemistry Topic Quantitative Chemistry. It includes powerpoints and differentiated worksheets for the following lessons: Balanced symbol equations Relative atomic and relative formula mass Moles Reacting masses Concentration
