Acids Bases and Indicators Explained Fully Resourced Lesson for Classroom Distance and Blended Learning
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson on acids, bases and indicators to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school .
The classroom resource consists of an animated 43 slide PowerPoint and 18 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class.
The distance learning pack consists of a 62 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, guided notes, cut-outs, foldables, fact sheet and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of the PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers.
What’s Covered
Identifies an acid as a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6;
Identifies a base as a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14;
States that that hydroxides are soluble bases;
States that neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline;
States that for neutral substances, red litmus stays red and blue litmus stays blue;
States that the pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14);
Explains concentrated and dilute in terms of solute and solvent particles;
States that concentrated acids and bases are corrosive;
States that many foods contain dilute weak acids and bases and gives examples;
Models the particles and gives the formula of some acids and bases.

Mixtures Solutions and Suspensions Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on mixtures, including solutions, suspensions, dissolving, saturated solutions and solubility. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
