Edexcel core practical focused on electrolysis with inert (graphite electrodes). Includes starter quiz, practical observation sheet , summary sheet and suggested further tasks ( page number relates to Pearson textbook - Combined Science, though any relevant textbook will do). Should save you some time!

A resource that would be useful for higher achieving KS3 students or as a reminder about formulas at the beginning of GCSE Combined Science or Chemistry Main presentation includes 2 activities that can be printed or copied from the board. Also a word doc which has some more challenging questions. Both the power point and the word document can be easily amended to suit your class. Lesson length 50 minutes

Chromatography lesson suitable for GCSE Chemistry. Can be used in conjunction with the Pearson Edexcel Combined Science book ( if your school has them), but not essential.

Lesson including - starter main task and plenary. Main task links to the Pearson textbook for combined science . Also includes video links Lesson is aimed at foundation tier Lesson content… Describe what a giant covalent structure is State what an allotrope is State some uses for diamond and graphite Describe the properties of diamond, graphite, Explain why diamond and carbon have these properties using correct scientific language.

Full theory and practical for making an insoluble salt focused on the higher end grades 6-9. Some of the questions at the end link to the Pearson Combined Science text book (same questions will also be available in the GCSE Chemistry version of the book). Practical is straightforward, but make sure you do your own risk assessment for your class.

A theory lesson on the electrolysis of water. Contains video links and some good visuals to explain the concept. Starter and plenary activities also included. Give it a go - it’ll save you 2 hours of planning!

Foundation lesson focused on extraction of metal from a metal oxide using reduction. In this case using carbon to extract copper from copper oxide. This is a lesson suitable for foundation tier.

Core practical lesson showing the relationship between temperature and the rate of reaction. Full lesson with method, analysis and typical results if your students run out of time (they usually do!).

A lesson going through how to calculate titration calculations using examples and print off templates that help scaffold for these types of questions. It will be handy if you then use your own worksheets/textbooks for students to practice the techniques they have learnt from this lesson.

Introduction to the equilibrium concept including how temperature. concentration and pressure affect the equilibrium. Includes a GCSE Chemistry starter and review questions at the end (page references link to Pearson Chemistry textbook, but others could be used.

Intro lesson to the alcohols and their typical reactions State what an organic compound is Identify one from molecular pictures State their general formula State some of their uses Explain what products form when they react with sodium and oxygen Write full symbol equations for the reactions above

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 lesson focused on vectors reminder, calculating speed and distance time graphs. Lots in there as it’s aimed at a higher group. Describe displacement, velocity and force as vector quantities; Interpret distance time graphs and calculate speed from gradient; Use speed = distance / time.

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.

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