PowerPoint presentation, taking a step by step approach for calculating the pH of a weak acid.

Self directed worksheet for fertilisers and the haber process. Use page 120-121 of the Edexcel textbook.

A lesson resource to enable students to be assessed for the AF3 strand (communicating science) focusing on representing chemical reactions and analysing data.

It’s a test, print it out, get them to write their answers on lined paper. Use the mark scheme and they can self assess it.

An introduction to the way electrons are arranged in atoms using the standard model at GCSE. An extension sheet references an activity from active learn - if you use that package, A standard periodic table would also be useful to help students with this lesson.

A resource that can be printed on A4 or A3 to summarise the basics of positive and negative ion formation. Students can either complete with or without a textbook depending on their confidence.

A lesson about Mendeleev and the development of the periodic table. Includes a starter quiz . Useful video link, questions and some research questions. A top class resource for a pretty dull topic!

An intro lesson about isotopes. Starts off with some reminder questions about atoms, moves on to how to interpret the numbers linked to chemical symbols then moves onto the basics of isotopes. 50-60 minute lesson.

Introduction to why science is important. Students have an opportunity to “research” some famous scientists by gathering information from the info in the ppt (can be printed out and used as a resource around the room)

A lovely little lesson for introducing concentration in g/dm3. The accompanying worksheet gets more challenging as they move through the questions. Calculators will be needed!

Lesson focused on the displacement theory of reactions. Including a template for the classic metal/metal solution practical. Analysis questions at the end.

A super challenge (separation of rock salt basically) but given an xmas theme. A basic and advanced method included depending on your class as well as a results table if needed. A “do now” task and a summary task also available in the presentation.

End of term fun for a KS3 class. The challenge is to optimise the (pop) from a combination of alka seltser tablets and water - either changing the water/air ratio or the temperature of the water. Full results table/technician order included. Make your last few lessons go with a fizz of excitement!

Nice easy lesson to keep the students busy in the week leading up to xmas. A simple challenge using standard lab equipment. Can they use their scientific skills to work out the correct volume of water needed to make Santa’s “perfect cuppa”.

A recap lesson to remind YR12 lessons the basics of covalent bonding, so you can then move onto more complex ideas found at A level

Here’s a lesson for a pretty dull topic - choosing materials. Includes activities a 20 minute clip of an architect choosing materials and a silly 2 minute song as well. Also includes a tricky calculation starter to get their brains going. Lesson is aimed at the higher end of the ability spectrum

Titration practical suitable for AS students who need practice with the technique and the standard type of calculations. Results table and example calculation.

Delve into the story of the atom in this lesson aimed at a higher ability KS3 group. Stand alone lesson with all resources available in the power point + an extension sheet To name the scientists involved in the atomic theory story To order their ideas on a historical time line To summarise their key ideas To rank their ideas in order of importance. To judge which scientist made the biggest contribution to the atomic story. To explain how these ideas may be useful across all sciences.

Intro lesson for year 7 to get them acquainted with the standard pieces of equipment you will find in a standard school lab.

An intro into atomic structure for a low attaining to middle ability group. Includes video links and specific questions and print outs. The relevant part of your textbook will be needed to help students with the answers. Includes some sheets you can print out to help scaffold learners.
