This PowerPoint presentation goes through the basics of covalent bonding and is suitable for GCSE and IGCSE Level students. Covalent bonding is described as the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms, and care is taken to deliver the material in a paced, step-by-step fashion. This PPT assumes some knowledge of ionic bonding, so if you haven’t covered that topic yet, then you might want to delete those slides after download. Dot-and-cross diagrams are included: both with inner shells and simplified (only outer shells) formats - perfect for training students to be efficient in the exam. Activities included (feel free to edit or modify after download): Comparing bonding diagrams as a starter (spotting similarities and differences) Main teaching content (beginning from first principles with simple atomic structure, leading into covalent bond formation) Think map to compare ionic and covalent bonding (feel free to remove if needed) Drawing dot-and-cross and stick diagrams as a plenary ***Learning outcomes are included, so this is a great ‘box ticker’ for an observation lesson. *** Some syllabus references that this PPT satisfies (to name but a few): AQA GCSE Chemistry: **4.2.1.1 Chemical Trends:**Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metallic elements and in compounds of non-metals. 4.2.1.4 Covalent Bonding: When atoms share pairs of electrons, they form covalent bonds. These bonds between atoms are strong 4.2.1.4 Covalent Bonding: The covalent bonds in molecules and giant structures can be represented in the following forms (dot and cross and ball and stick examples given in the specification) **Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry: ** 1.44: Know that a covalent bond is formed between atoms by the sharing of a pair of electrons 1.45: Understand covalent bonds in terms of electrostatic attractions 1.46: Understand how to use dot-and-cross diagrams to represent covalent bonds

A very fun activity that can be used anywhere in a lesson, but works especially well as a starter, plenary or homework. This worksheet is probably best given to students in year 9 and older. It is basically a series of questions to test their skills in writing down times of the day in German, followed by a useful wordsearch that introduces some new vocabulary. Students will have to write down times of the day like the examples below: 12.35 = fünfundzwanzig vor eins 3.15 = Viertel nach drei This worksheet also introduces learners to the words 'mittag' and 'mitternacht'.

After teaching and tutoring thousands of chemistry students over the years, I've found that the topic of ions tends to cause tremendous confusion (and is generally poorly understood).This is one of those fundamental topics that must be understood properly if students are going to learn about balancing equations, stoichiometry and advanced level chemistry later in in school. I created this resource booklet as a very clear way for students to understand the following: • What the period and group numbers tell us about the structure of an atom • What anions and cations are • How to use the group number of an element to figure out what kind of ion it will form Complete with full colour images, activities and answers; this booklet finally offers a clear and comprehensive explanation of this fundamental topic in chemistry. At the end there is also a link to a website, where students can take this topic to the next level and learn about ionic bonding and the formulae of ionic compounds. I've set the price at 2 pounds because this resource took a lot of time to create, and is of a very high quality.
