aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Match key words to definitions – go through answers Main – Students watch demo of fractional distillation. Explain uses/whats happening at each point. Students the write an explaination of how they can obtain pure ethanol Set up chromatography experiment, whilst waiting for it to develop write a step by step method for the practical.  Go over basics, this will be revisited as chromatography is a required practical. Plenary Tweet one thing they have learnt today

aimed at mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Differentiated Bronze/silver/gold questions from previous lesson Main – Think, pair, share – how big is an atom. Copy down the size of an atom and nucleus intho their books Copy key words need to be able to define ion and isoptope for level 4 Explain that atoms can lose or gain electrons. And what happens if they do. Students make notes on this, then go through a few examples. Students practice working out electron/proton/neutron for ions Extension task for students who finish Explain what an isotope is, do one worked example of finding proton/neutron numbers then their go at finding how many protons and neutrons are in carbon isotopes Exam practice if time Plenary Identify whether the pictures are atoms, ions or isotopes

Suitable for KS3 Includes: Recall starter Pure and impure including particle diagrams Pure and impure boiling points practical investigation to investigate purity

aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Put atom structures in the correct order thinking back to last lesson Main – Work through work sheet in steps. To ensure maximum understanding Chase the element – race task to find out what each element around the room is, identifying proton neutron and electron number and matching it with an element on the periodic table Make a model of an atom using string, and card (cut card into circles use string to attach them together) Plenary Tweet what you’ve learnt tday

Aimed at a foundation class Starter Activity Draw what they can remember about the states of matter, go through what the particle pictures should look like Main – Complete worksheet on properties of solids, liquids and gases -  differentiated versions Stick in particle diagrams – students add labels and arrows to show what the state changes are. Then use textbooks and what we have discussed to describe what happens to the particles during changes of state. Explain cooling curves, students fill in the blanks on their cooling curve Extension for students looking at cooling and heating curves and melting and boiling points Plenary Little quiz to finish with

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Identify the atom on the board Stretch – how do you know which atom it is Main – Recap how to find out electron/proton/neutron numbers and how to draw electron configuration. Think pair share, what can the two atoms do to have full outer shells Students explain in their books what a positive and negative ion is 3 quick questions – green pen mark Go through rules so we always know the charges of common ions Worksheet to complete – label periodic table with rules and then practice drawing ions Extension: describe and explain how ions are formed Plenary Exam question plenary – peer assess

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Mark homework Main – Think pair share – spot the difference between ionic and covalent bonding. Then write down definition of covalent bonding Watch video, only watch until 2 minutes. Answer questions whilst video is going. Goo through and green pen answers after Go through the two examples on the board and show what happens Students then have a go at completing their worksheet to show covalent bonds Extension: decide if the compounds are ionic or covalent and explain how they know Plenary Plenary, fill in the gaps and go over answers

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Using previous knowledge make predictions about ionic compounds Main – Go through and discuss giant ionic lattices Students move around the room to find the information sheet to find out if there prediction was correct or not and why Practical with a dissolved ionic compound to show it can conduct electricity. Make sure say that molten ionic compounds too and what a molten ionic compound is Plenary Exam question plenary

Aimed at foundation students targets of level 4 Starter: differentiated bronze/silver/gold starter based on previous lessons in the topic, answers on following slide Main: Watch video, write a list of as many problems form global warming think, pair, share: what is a a carbon footprint - write defintion discuss what the different countries of the world are trying to do to combat global warming Students fill in an information sheet from what they have learnt, differentiated extension questions with answers if students complete Plenary: higher or lower, interactive, do you think the following country has a higher or lower level of renewable energy use

Starter: differentiated starter questions with answers Main: Discussion which water from the pictures would you rather drink. Define: potable water Carry out required practical answer questions green pen, self assess questions discuss why water is so important. Complete worksheet to show how potable water is made (differentiated worksheets)

Aimed at low ability students, targets of level 4s Starter: recap on stages of LCA Main: link up key words to defintions for three R’s Pictures on board of different items, what are they made of ? can they be recycled? Discuss three R’s with students using textbooks students then make an information sheet using the success criteria on the powerpoint Plenary: 6 mark question about the the three r’s

C12 - the earths resources summary sheet Aimed at students with targets of level 4’s page numbers are from CGP foundation revision guide
