This full lesson resource helps students to balance full and half equations and apply state symbols with 9-1 graded exam style plenary questions (F and H). It lasts about 1.5 hours. This resource is linked to the AQA specification and has 9-1 graded learning objectives linked to the content. (Update: Now included at no extra cost is my Empirical Formula from Models lesson) It includes: 33 page ppt which explains using a balancing full equations using the circle the formula method, to avoid the misconception to change the formula (see https://twitter.com/MrTSci409/status/1116405433684713472) 3 Helpsheets (Full/Half/State symbols) for students to refer to when completing the questions 46 Equations to balance (30 full and 16 half) with ANSWERS for students to self/peer assess All equations are taken from the AQA Specification (let me know if I’ve missed any out!) Plenary questions (F and H) graded with answers A gratuitous use of colour to help understand how and why equations are balanced. For a free help sheet on how to balance equations from this resource, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/balancing-equations-help-sheet-12233425 The Empirical formula from Models lesson details are: This is a full lesson lasting about 1 hour. It includes a Power Point which covers ratios, simplifying formulas into empirical formulas and understanding models of ions. It includes a starter, seven white board practice questions, seventeen question sheet on simplifying formulas, seven question sheet on models and a plenary. It’s a lesson designed to cover an often neglected part of the course… I’ve also included a Power Point with all the models and others I’ve used in the lesson in case you want to design a few more of your own… A shortened version of this is available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/empirical-formula-from-models-12238973 For more resources (free and paid), please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 A hope you find this resource helpful.

This resources consists of photographs and exam style questions with a completed graphic organiser helpsheet. This is aimed at AQA students to encourage them to practice exam style questions on required practicals anytime during the lesson. The questions are specifically generic so they can be asked about almost any of the practicals and consequently they do not need to go next to any particular one, producing over 400 combinations of questions with images. The questions are colour coded for different levels with Red-Hard, Orange-Medium and Green-Easier (one could say differentiated, but one would be stretching the truth). Also included is the required practical placemat (worth a whole £1!) to help your students answer the questions on the display. Suggestions for Activities: I generally sit my students round the display and then ask them to chose a question and I (or another student) choose a practical or vice versa. Then we discuss the answer as a class or nominate another student or practical or question, (or stick them round my board and let the display soak into their minds through osmosis / diffusion or ask a question as a plenary) The set of images and questions can be printed smaller and students and given to groups of students who turn them face down and turn two over, an image and a question, which they then answer. This game works well and makes the question and required practical more random (like the exam). Font size is set at 80 pt so that it can be seen at about 10 feet away (Approx 72 pt per 10 ft of distance is the rule) I hope you find this resource useful Thank you for reading this far.

This is a resource which uses the new up to date Hazard Symbols. Each sheet has the name of each hazard symbol, the symbol itself, a description of the Hazard, an example of which chemical has that hazard and an image to help them remember. This will help with Lab safety.

This resource contains keywords, images and definitions (see below for all 60 keywords covered). It is aimed at KS4, but can be used with upper KS3. The resource can be used as a matching activity, a booklet for revision or display (more uses described below). It can be used in several ways: As a whole class activity: The Power Point version is animated so that it puts the image on first, followed by the keyword, then the definition. In this way, students can be shown the image and asked what the keyword is, then are asked what the definition is. The Interactive Power Point has all the keywords linked to the slide with that definition. It also contains a back to the previous slide button so that you can back to the word you were discussing. The Interactive Keyword Power Point at beginning has all the keywords on the second slide. Click to link to that slide, then click the Home button to go back-Use when referring to certain words that students have difficulty with. As a display around the room. Printed smaller and given to the students as a keyword booklet or Graphic Organiser to revise from. Memory game: Printed smaller and cut out, turned over and the students turn a card over and ask the other students in their group to give the definition when given the word, or vice versa. Cut the titles off and the image, place them all around the room, give the student one piece and ask them to find the other two parts tjhat go with it. The presentation has all the keywords in order of when they are mentioned in the AQA Specification. The Keywords are: Atom, Element, Chemical Symbol, Periodic Table, Compound, Chemical Reaction, Energy Change, Chemically combine, Proportion, Formula, Word Equations, Symbol Equations, Balanced, Ion, Half Equation, Ionic Equation, Separation, Filtration, Crystallisation, Distillation, Fractional Distillation, Chromatography, Purification, Chemical Properties, Model, Electron, Plum Pudding Model, Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment, Nucleus, Nuclear Model, Orbit, Protons, Neutrons, Charge, Relative, Isotopes, Atomic Mass, Nanometres, Percentage Abundance, Energy Levels/Shells, Electronic Structure, Groups, periods, Atomic Weight, Metals, Mendeleev’s Periodic table, Non-metals, Noble gases/Group 0, Trend/Pattern, Alkali Metals/Group 1, Halogens/Group 7, Molecule, Displacement, Aqueous, Salt, Solution, Transition Metals, Density, Hardness and Reactivity. *New Keywords added: Atomic Number, Mixtures, Physical properties, Scattering and Shielding Please comment with any suggestions for improvements or other ideas for resources. I hope you find this resource useful.

This is a reward questionnaire to ask students the best way to reward them in the classroom. The second sheet can be used generically so that students delete from their sheet the rewards that they don’t need or like.
