AQA GCSE 9-1 Chemistry: Topic List contains a list of all the topics and subtopics in the specification.
There is a simple list for both combined and triple science - here general topics are listed with and simple C1-C15 approach (C = Chemistry). It contains all the topic within the specification, grouped for a student’s easy understanding
There is a detailed list for both combined and triple science - here the specification number/section is pulled directly from the specification (without the writing). Using 4.1.1 format. It contains all the topics and subsection of topics within the specifcation, grouped for a student to directly compare to the specification if they have this to hand.
On all documents there is a paper summary - referring the list to the exam content that they are required to know

KS3 Unit 8H Chemistry - Weathering and The Rock Cycle
Aimed for High-Middle ability Year 8 but can be adapted for low/middle ability if required (Higher and lower slides)
Further to this the lessons can also be split into two for each section - but due to time constraints and a very high ability class I was able to get through it all in 7 lessons rather than 8 lessons
Lesson 8Ha: Rocks and their uses
Lesson 1- Rocks and identifying rocks (Earthquakes and volcanoes)
Lesson 8Hb: Igneous and metamorphic
Lesson 2 - Earth (The Earth and how volcanoes are formed)
Lesson 3 - Igneous and Metamorphic (intrustive and extrusive, crystal size experiment)
Lesson 8Hc: Weathering and erosion
Lesson 4 - Weathering- chemical (acid rain, chemicals, statues)
Lesson 5 - Weathering and erosion - the difference (physical, biological and chemical, erosion and transportation)
Lesson 8Hd: Sedimentary rocks
Lesson 6 - Sedimentary rocks (Sedimentary rocks and how they are formed) - consolidating the three types of rock
Lesson 7 - The Rock Cycle (The rock cycle)
7 lessons including practicals
(can be split to 8 if required)

Edexcel 9-1 Chemistry Paper 1 Combined Head's up revision
Made for end of year revision:
'Heads Up', students work in groups to get their team mate to say the word on the screen. It's a modern version of charades. Very good for literacy and key word/practical revision.
You may need to allocate a student with a stopwatch/ipad to keep time, and another with a board pen to keep score!
Works great with boys vs. girls

- Key concepts:
Edexcel 9-1 CC3 Atomic structure
Edexcel 9-1 CC4 Periodic table

EASY FOR STUDENTS
With the new specification being incredibly difficult for even the brightest students; I have devised a general PowerPoint on how to write ionic half equations.
The PowerPoint starts with general definitions, moving onto identifying ionic substances that will dissociate in water. This then leads towards writing net ionic equations and then understanding further on how ionic half equations are written in terms of OILRIG.
I used this has a WHITEBOARD lesson and it worked brilliantly
Furthermore, this can also be used without whiteboards for the brighter and more able kids
Hope it helps
