This task is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Chemistry GCSE, particularly the ‘Chemical Analysis’ SoW. For more resources designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This activity is a revision activity for the 'Chemical Analysis’ SoW, students can either have a card each and the task can be completed as a card loop activity with the whole class. Alternatively, students could work in pairs and be given a set of the shuffled cards, they will then need to arrange the cards into the correct sequence so that the sentences make sense (as dominoes tiles). When students carry out this version of the activity I often have a prize for the students who complete the task in the fastest time! The solution for this activity is included so you can check their answers.

KS3 ~ Year 7 ~ The Particle Model & States of Matter

(3)
This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 C1.1 Module on ‘Particles & Their Behaviour’. For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. This lesson begins with an introduction to particles, describing the differences between materials which are made up of just one type of particle - a substance - and those that are made up of different particles - a mixture. Students are also introduced to the idea of properties of a substance as a description of the way in which a substance looks like and behaves. Students will then carry out a ‘Copy and Complete’ task where they will fill in the blanks to outline what they have learned about particles so far this lesson. This task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided on the PowerPoint presentation. Students are now introduced to the three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. Students will firstly watch a video, using which they will need answer a set of questions about the arrangement of particles in a solid, liquid and a gas. The answers to this task are included in the PowerPoint for students to self-assess their work once it is complete. Next, students will draw a summary table into their books and will be given a card sort, students will need to sort the statements into the correct part of their table to describe the properties of solids/liquids/gases. The mark scheme for this task is included on the PowerPoint presentation, it can be used for pupils to self-assess their work. Lastly, students are given another set of statements describing the properties of solids/liquids/gases. Students need to draw a Venn diagram into their books and will need to sort the statements into the Venn diagram, this task can be marked and corrected once complete. The plenary task requires students to unscramble a set of anagrams, each anagram is a key word learned from this lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.
