A full lesson with everything you need for molecular compounds. Based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for others. Powerpoint animations and timers included to allow for Q/A during peer or self correction of answers and to promote pace receptively. Support sheets and stretch activities included to facilitate differentiation. Reflective plenary based on progress against the LO’s also included. PP question as starter based on covalent bonding.

A complete lesson based on 3 key areas within OCR chemistry C3. This lesson was produced for a high ability year 11 group during exam intervention, differentiation through the use of the included support sheets would facilitate use with lower abilities. It covers the following: percentage yield and atom economy, reaction masses (calculations) and batch vs. continuous processing . The lesson contains timers to promote pace and is fully animated to allow a Q/A session during peer assessment of answers after each learning checkpoint. The plenary is designed to guide students to reflect on their progress/emerging needs.

A complete, differentiated lesson on the halogens. This lesson was prepared for a high ability year 9 group and is very fitting for year 10. Lesson includes timers to promote pace and PowerPoint animations to facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint. Plenary activity is an exciting ‘car race’ quiz with prepared questions included.

A full, differentiated lesson for the topic of mixtures. The lesson is based on the activate SOW and was designed for a year 8 class however, the lesson is transferable to other SOW and groups depending on ability. The lesson includes a simple practical activity where students design their own methods to separate the different components of 3 mixtures. Timers are included to promote pace, and PowerPoint animations facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of evaporation and distillation. This lesson is based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Support sheets and stretch activities facilitate the progress of more and less able throughout the lesson. This slide set can work with, or without a demonstration of distillation equipment. Answers to learning checkpoints are incorporated into the slide set via power point animation and the inclusion of timers promotes pace.

A complete lesson based on the activate 1 SOW and pitched to a year 7 class. The lesson is differentiated with the use of 'stretch' activities and support sheets for more and less able respectively. The differentiated question grid challenge pushes all abilities within the group. A fun whiteboard activity is included relating to hazard symbols. This lesson includes timers to promote pace, and powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during review of answers at each learning checkpoint.

A complete differentiated lesson (including practical) based on the activate 2 'acid and metals' content. The lesson includes and introduction to the topic, outline of practical, prediction/conclusion writing and a differentiated question grid 'challenge' to act as a plenary. Timers are included to promote pace and all answers are incorporated into the slides via animation. This lesson was delivered to a year 8 group, all abilities supported.

A complete lesson on metals and oxygen based on the activate 2 SOW. The lesson includes a practical demonstration where students fill in a observation sheet and produce (simple) balanced equations. If you can get pure oxygen from the techies you can really promote a love of learning with this. A choice of 2 plenaries are included, reflective writing or whiteboard based. Answers to each learning checkpoint are incorporated into the slides via animation. Timers are included to promote pace.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of metal displacement reactions. The content is based on the activate 2 SOW and is therefore tailored to a year 8 group. The lesson includes the practical, support sheets and stretch activities for high ability students. The plenary is conducted using whiteboards; students write out the equations they have studied during the practical - they are scaffolded up to this. All answers are included into the slides through animation, timers are included to promote pace.

A full lesson on ‘filtration’ based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. The lesson includes a simple practical where students separate rocks and salt through filtration. Numeracy based ‘power cards’ are included to better support the less able during the method writing section. A differentiated question grid is included as a follow up activity, this can be used to push both less and more able, or alternatively as a competition between boys and girls. A choice of two plenaries are included. As always, powerpoint timers and animations are included to promote pace and Q/A during the review of answers.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of states of matter. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 (C1.2) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson includes a card sort, written activities and a practical exercise where students study the change of state in stearic acid. Animations and timers are included to promote peer/self correction of answers and to promote pace respectively.

A full, differentiated lesson based on chromatography. The lesson includes a simple practical where students identify 'who stole my lunch'. The method writing section is differentiated to support low, mid and high ability students making use of literacy and numeracy for students to complete their methods. Additional stretch sheets are included within the analysis questions if students complete all the work ahead of time. The plenary activity encourages students to reflect upon their progress against the learning objectives.

A full differentiated lesson based on the topic of Boiling. The lesson is based upon the Activate 1 (C1.4) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson includes a differentiated worksheet and activity and a practical exercise involving the growing of copper sulfate crystals. The plenary is based on student reflection on their progress against the learning objectives.

A full lesson based on the new AQA C5.1 SOW but can be used for others. The lesson starts off covering 7 key properties of metals, students are guided to categorise certain properties to metals or non-metals as you work through the slides. Oxidation/reduction in metal ores is then discussed ahead of the meaning and relevance of the reactivity series during a short talk, during which students are prompted to take notes of key points. A demonstration is then conducted where metals are reacted with water and then dilute acid (instructions included). During this demonstration students must determine the order of the reactivity series. The students will then independently attempt questions based on the demonstration they have observed. As a final plenary students will reflect on their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included in the slides, with animation to facilitate questioning during self/peer correction. Timers are included to promote pace.
