Three fully resourced lessons taking the learner from an understanding of atoms and molecules through elements and compounds, chemical symbols and formulae and finally to naming compounds and balancing chemical equations. The review lesson is a useful pre-test toll which produces an individual review list for each pupil The versatile games pack can be used to reinforce each section of the current electricity module as it is taught or for revision. Many of the games could be used for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as they come with a hard-copy or PowerPoint of the answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack. What’s Covered All atoms of one element are the same but are different from the atoms of other elements. Atoms combine to form molecules. If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed. If combining atoms are from different element, a molecule of a compound is formed. An element contains only one type of atom A compound contains two or more different types of atom. Elements are listed in the periodic table. Each element has its own symbol. Symbols can be the first letter of the name (capital), two letters from the name (capital then lowercase) or taken from the Latin name of the element. The formula of a compound tells you how many atoms of each element are in it. Working out the number of atoms of each element in a compound from its formula. Naming compounds with the groups CO3, SO4, NO3. Compounds containing only two atoms end in ide. Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3. Conservation of mass.

Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the periodic table of elements plus an enjoyable yet challenging find the pair game.

It is intended that the teacher selects the appropriate printables to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources.

What’s Covered Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of atomic number. Metals are on the left of the table and non – metals on the right with a zig – zag line dividing the two. Some of the metals touching the zig – zag are semi – metals or metalloids which means they have some properties of metals and of non – metals. Vertical columns are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods. Each period starts with metals on the left and end with non – metals on the right. The elements within each group have similar physical and chemical properties. Group 1 are the alkali metals. Group 2 are the alkaline earth metals. Group 7 are the halogens. Group 0 are the rare or noble gases. The central block are the transition metals. On the left – hand side of the table, reactivity increases as you go down a group and on the right – hand side of the table reactivity increases as you go up a group. Group 1: can be cut with a knife; must be stored under oil; low density – lithium, sodium and potassium float on water; form compounds which are solid at room temperature; form compounds with similar formulae – LiCl. NaCl. Group 7;are all colored; react with hydrogen to form acids; react with metals to form salts. Alkali metal + water  alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen lithium + water  lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Group 0 are all inert gases – they do not react with other elements Transition metals; except for mercury, which is a liquid, these are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen.

The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson on the properties of metals and non – metals 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 vulnerable students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19. The classroom resource consists of an animated 48 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 68 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 Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not. Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck. Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic. Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy. Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid. Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide. Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic For more high quality resources visit: Elf Off the Shelf Resources
