This worksheet can be used in a lesson to first teach students about the parts and flames of a Bunsen burner, then to test their ability to safely light and use one.
There is a full lesson PowerPoint that can be used with this sheet; it is available to buy from my shop - OnSpecScience.
This PowerPoint will allow you to deliver the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry Core Practical in which calcium hydroxide is used to gradually neutralise hydrochloric acid. It includes background info on indigestion and antacids (for context), an easy-to-follow method to share with students, plus additional tasks aimed at building skills with acid reactions and balanced equations.
The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and High-tier.
Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Acids and Alkalis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
This PowerPoint plus practical method sheet will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities how to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from practical data they have collected.
The resource meets the required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.
This is best taught following my lesson on “Formula Mass and Empirical Formulae”. Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including the preceding theory lesson) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
These PowerPoints will allow you to teach students the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry required content on Solubility and Precipitates. Two full lesson PowerPoints are provided:
Solubility and Precipitates
Covers the solubility rules and what happens during precipitation reactions plus some Higher-tier only content on ionic equations.
Making a precipitate
In this lesson students are able to learn the method to make their own pure, dried precipitate.
The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes.
Other GCSE lessons are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
This full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested whole-class activity) will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities to use, create and evaluate models which represent electrical circuits.
The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.
This full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the differences between series and parallel circuits.
The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.
An ideal home learning resource; these revision cards cover all the “learnable” Chemistry Paper 1 content.
The cards come as an editable PowerPoint, with six cards per slide for students to cut out. There are eight slides (48 cards) for Combined students and ten slides (58 cards) for Triple students. The cards that are Higher only are indicated, so Foundation students can discard these.
As students memorise the content of each card, they should be able to recall the information when prompted by a revision partner. As information becomes embedded, cards can be removed so the pile focuses on a smaller number of trickier concepts.
Please note: these cards are designed to supplement NOT substitute for other revision. If all the material on these cards is memorised, it will give students a solid platform from which to achieve a very good grade. However, these cards are not sufficient to fully prepare students for the chemical calculations topics (only practice can prepare for this) or the technical aspects of the Core Practicals (practical experience is needed for this)
This bundle contains three full lesson PowerPoints which focus solely on teaching students about the basics of safe and accurate practical work. These lessons should be delivered before going on to teach other Year 7 Science topics which involve using lab equipment, measuring masses, making solutions or using Bunsen burners.
This bundle could also be used to engage lower ability KS4 classes who need work on their practical skills before attempting GCSE Required Practical lessons.
My suggested teaching order: Equipment and Safety, Measuring Skills, Bunsen Burners.
I have many other KS3 lessons and bundles available so please check out my shop, OnSpecScience.
This bundle meets all specification points needed to teach Topic 7 “Types of Substances” from the Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Combined Science and Chemistry courses. The bundle includes four full lesson PowerPoints and associated resources, plus my overview and equipment lists for all Year 10 and Year 11 Combined & Triple Science.
I have many other GCSE lessons and bundles available so please check out my shop, OnSpecScience.
This bundlewill allow you to teach Year 8 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Light. The bundle includes five full lesson PowerPoints (containing equipment lists for suggested practicals) plus associated resources.
Suggested teaching order: Reflection & Light on the Move, Refraction (practical), Uses & Effects of Refraction, Cameras, Eyes & the Spectrum of Light, Colour & Filters.
I have many other KS3 lessons and bundles available. See the attached Checklist document for full details of Year 8 and please visit my shop, OnSpecScience.
This bundle will allow you to teach Year 7 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Mixtures and Separation Techniques. The bundle includes seven PowerPoints and associated resources sufficient to deliver seven full lessons. Lesson 7Ea “Mixtures” comes with an overview and Equipment list for the full topic.
Before delivering this topic, I recommend giving students practical skills training to ensure they can name and draw key lab equipment, and can safely light and use a Bunsen burner. I have three lessons available in my shop which are suitable for this, available individually or as a discounted bundle “Science Practical Skills - 3 Full Lessons”.
I have many other KS3 lessons and bundles available so please check out my shop, OnSpecScience.
This bundle will allow you to teach Year 9 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Reactivity (of Metals mainly).
