A full lesson with worksheets to help teach how you work out the formula of a compound once you know their ionic charges. Presentation and 2 worksheets with different levels of difficulty.

Simple introduction to solubility with a suggested practical for students to carry out. Includes starter discussion, simple practical method and analysis questions at the end.

A lesson for lower attaining pupils to help them predict states of matter given melting and boiling points for different substances. The main activity involves students deciding whether certain substances will be solid liquid or gas on the different planets of the solar system. This could be a desk-bound actovity or you could print the imahes of the planets and their average temperatures and students could circulate the room to complete the activity. Suitable for mid-low attaining GCSE group or a sparky KS3 group.

An intro lesson into solubility including a starter, practical, results sheet and analysis questions to finish off the practical. Lesson suitable for a 50-60 minute lesson. Aimed at grades 4-6 - but could be adapted up or down to suit a different class. Suitable for GCSE Chemistry or GCSE Combined Science (Chemistry)

Introduction to solubility, with starter and discussion activities as well as a suggested practical, with results table. Analysis questions available at the end of the lesson

Ionic Lattice lesson aimed and mid to low ability groups. Includes video links and starter activity. Lesson refers to some sheets that you will have access to if you subscribe to active learn by Pearson. Page references are linked to the standard Pearson"combined science" textbook that goes with the GCSE course. NOT endorsed by Pearson Pearson sheets are NOT included in the lesson

Higher tier GCSE Ionic lattice lesson. Refers to a sheet from active teach, which your school may already subscribe to (not included) and refers to pages from the standard Pearson combined Science textbook for GCSE Science. Much of the lesson can be adapted though. Success criteria are To state what an ionic lattice is To explain how it forms To predict compound names from the ions they contain To use the “ - ide” and “- ate” suffix correctly To work out the correct formulas for ionic compounds if given their charges

A cracking lesson about cracking for a mid to high set.Some activities linked to the Pearson Combined textbook if you have it but could be adapted to whatever you have. Starter, theory and summary qs all included.

A lesson all about the Earth’s changing atmosphere CC17b. Starter questions and video links embedded in the lesson. Some activities link to the Pearson Edexcel combined science textbook

Lesson all about catalysts. The standard demos e.g elephant toothpaste and the relevant theory linked to catalysts. Also includes video links to relevant videos and tasks linked to the Pearson Edexcel combined science book text book if you have it.

Catalyst lesson for a foundation set. Includes a simple practical where you can compare the effectiveness of catalysts by measuring “height of bubbles”. Refer to CLEAPSS for all practicals you plan before you carry out with students.

A tip top lesson on the lovely alkanes. Introduction to everyone’s favourite homologous series. Suitable for a single lesson. contains video links and an extension data analysis activity they can have a go at. Graph paper at the ready!

Get to grips with alkanes. A theory lesson aimed at the foundation level Gd 1-5. Lots of clear diagrams and opportunity to practice of the knowledge.

Intro to the theory behind fractional distillation. Includes a challenging starter activity. Video links to relevant videos. Main class activities and an exam style question for students to get their teeth into. Enjoy!

Introduction to the halogens good for mid to high set. Includes a starter activity (alkali metals) to get them going then a data analysis exercise where they plot the boiling point of each halogen against its period number (print off the data from the slides and blu tac it on the walls) and then predict the properties of astatine. Also includes the theory behind hydrogen halide formation if you have time.

Gp 7 halogen displacement reaction.s Includes results table you can print off. and analysis questions at the end also includes how to write word and symbol equations. Handy if you have the Pearson textbook for some extension work but not essential.

Noble gas lesson with some bonus sheets thrown in!. Aimed at the mid -top end of the spectrum.

A lesson focusing on constructing the correct word/symbol equations when a metal oxide reacts with one of the 3 main acids - nitric, sulfuric. hydrochloric - also includes a starter activity that teaches students to spot an acid/bas just by looking at the formula. Extension task included - linked to Pearson Combined Sci book if you have them (though rest of the lesson can be taught without further resources.

A great little lesson that covers the main bonding types or as I call them “the MIGS” - metallic/ionic/giant covalent/simple covalent, Contains starter and main activities. Main task can be linked to page 192 of the Pearson combined science textbook but could easily be adapted with whatever textbook you have

Note: your own risk assessment must be carried out before trying this practical with students. This practical lesson is a step by step way to make a soluble salt (in this case sodium chloride). Includes equipment checklist and method as well as theory behind the method and questions at the end of the lesson
