A powerpoint and lesson plan for introducing oxidation numbers to year 12 chemistry students.

A powerpoint I used with year 12 students that I made using 2 other powerpoints from the TES ( thank you!) It provides last minute revision for a final hour lesson on enthalpy changes,

A lesson to introduce ionic bonding to year 11. This should be followed up by more lessons that go into more detail on each section. This could also be used as a revision of ionic bonding before the exams!

This is a light hearted look at achieving a healthy work life balance in that first year of teaching or in that training year. It is somethign I use when meeting my new ITE trainees for the first time and I will visit it half way through their placements so that they dont get too bogged down and despondant!

This is a power point that describes what an ecosystem is, what food chains and food webs are and also the interdependence between organisms in a food web.

This is a resource I printed in colour, laminated back to back and hole punched one side. I then placed them on students tables to allow them to look at during lessons in order to know how they could progress to the next level.

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’

A powerpoint to help students through the CC8c Core practical - Preparing Copper sulfate crystals. This includes setting the task, a method for students to follow and relevant questions to ask following the practical. The last slide is one I print off and laminate as an aid for students to keep or it could go on a display of core practical in the lab.

This is the first lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Safety in Science’ and introduces science rules, the need to follow them and introduces the new style hazard symbols also. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a card sort to go with the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Meet the Equipment’.

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’

Edexcel CC8d Core Practical - Investigating Neutralisation. This powerpoint leads the students through the setting of the task, the method and hazards and risks associated with th practical. It ends with some questions commonly asked about the practical and the final slide is one I print off and laminate ande ither display around the classroom or allow students to use during the lesson.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8a Acids and Indicators. This presentation includes details on hazard symbols and their meaning, acids, indicators, pH and ions in acids and alkalis. It also includes the practical for testing indicators with solutions of different pH (CC8a.1) the reference to worksheet CC8a.3 refers to the Edexcel published worksheets.

A stand alone resource that I have used for revision of ionic bonding. It guides students how to write the name of ionic compounds, how to draw ionic bonding diagrams and how to write the formulae of ionic compounds. There are 3 opportunities in the presentation for students to practice what has been taught so that any misconceptions can be addressed immediately.

This is the fourth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Visiting Variables’ and guides students how to identify independent, dependent and control variables in different scenario’s. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a series of 4 slides that I print out and laminate to hand out as part of the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Investigations’

This is the second lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Meet the Equipment’ and introduces common equipment in a Science lab, how to draw them and discusses choosing the right equipment for the job. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a worksheet to go with the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Using the Bunsen Burner’.

This is the sixth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Drawing graphs’ and allows students to learn how to draw graphs accurately. Depending upon whether students managed to get results from last lessons investigation you may want to extend this lesson further by getting them to draw graphs of their own results. The presentation should be self explanatory

I use this presentation for ITE students but it can be used equally for whole school training. It identifies features of good behaviour for learning (BfL). and considers different strategies for creating, promoting and maintaining good behaviour for learning and finally encourages you to reflect upon your own strengths and areas for development. The point of this presentation is to encourage discussion rather than be led by you.

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 CC5b Ionic Lattices. This starts by looking at what ionic lattices are, then moves onto how to write the names of ionic compounds and how to write their formulae using the cross over method. 2 differentiated worksheets are also included . I usually follow this lesson with a lesson on writing word and symbol equations ( see my other powerpoint)

Edexcel CC10a Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate. This presentation gives students some background knowledge of the procedure, steps to carry out the procedure adn then some questions to ask in the analysis of their results. There is also a slide that summarises the key pints that can be printed off, laminated and put on display.
