Chemistry Lesson Starters - DO SCIENCE NOW (11-14)

45 CHEMISTRY lesson openers for your powerpoint needs!

A collection of DO NOW activities for chemistry lessons (age range 11 to 14, though it can work for some GCSE lessons too), all on one powerpoint!

A DO NOW is any activity that you have at the very beginning of class that helps you set the tone for that day.

The powerpoint is fully linked to a menu and animated where appropriate. It's very much a download-and-use resource.

There is a rationale slide and how to use/things to avoid slide as well.
