A fully resourced lesson with assessment on the cracking of crude oil. The starter is a data analysis activity that links in to the leaning objective. Cracking of hydrocarbons is covered before pupils are asked questions on the reasons for the process and how it is carried out. The plenary is an assessment question.

A fully resourced lesson on building hydrocarbons. Pupils can be shown molecular models of hydrocarbons or build them themselves before looking at various ways to represent molecules such as ball and stick, and space fill models. An information sheet and comparison table are also provided so that pupils can look at the advantages and disadvantages of using each representation of the alkanes.

A presentation with an embedded video and activities to teach pupils about - What is acid rain? the cause, effect and solutions. Thanks to other TES users whose ideas / work I have adapted. This links in to the KS3/KS4 environmental chemistry curriculum content and complements 3 others lessons I have available on TES, as a bundle called environmental chemistry

A presentation and worksheet about climate change and how it link to global warming. The presentation has an embedded video and various activites

A fully resourced lesson on the carbon cycle. There is a presentation and linked worksheets to create a diagram of the carbon cycle plus appreciate the processes that add and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

A fully resources lesson with a presentation about the greenhouse effect. Keywords are discussed. The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect are introduced with an activity to research each gas and its effect. This lesson is suitable for KS3 and KS4

A fully resourced lesson starts with a word search to find elements from the Periodic Table. A quick recap of information students may be aware of from KS3 before discussing groups and periods. There is a colouring activity to label various sections of a Periodic Table that is then used to complete a group activity. A series of questions to challenge understanding is used to secure knowledge before a plenary that ask students to try and talk for as long as possible about what they have learnt about the Periodic Table

Presentations and worksheets for 2 lessons. The first lesson introduces the concept of neutralisation for GCSE and how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. The second lesson is a practical on the preparation of a sample of a salt by the neutralisation of an acid with a suitable metal.

A presentation and a couple of worksheets to guide students through the concept of electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. The presentation reminds pupils of OIL RIG and the electrical conductivity of ionic compounds before tackling the more challenging aspects of the topic

Stoichiometry pathway to help pupils with calculations in chemistry. The presentation also covers the topic of molar gas volume.

A display with quotes by famous people about 'Curiosity in Science'

Presentation and linked worksheets to teach the subject content of the alkali metals for the new 2016 AQA Trilogy / Chemistry GCSE

A Literacy homework with research. Pupils are to create a CV for an element. The help sheet gives the web address and QR code for the RSC periodic table where the research can be carried out. To extend pupils you could get them to try and personify their element.

A chance for pupils to write extended answers on misconceptions / difficult concepts from C2. After using the C1 set, I was asked by my class to create a similar activity for C2 because they had found the C1 set so useful. I have included a set of sample answers that can also be provided.

A fully resourced lesson on catalysts with questions on a worksheet for pupils to answer, linked to the presentation and an experiment to carry out

A lesson taking pupils through how to calculate percentage yield and the reasons why percentage yields are sometimes lower than expected. There are also some worksheets for pupils to complete. I print this on A5. The final activity is a 6 mark QWC question on sustainable development and percentage yield

Various presentations of the the metals in the reactivity series. The metals are not in the correct order and pupils need to say of the next metal in the presentation will be higher or lower in the reactivity series. Change the first slide to include your name. There are different versions so you can do the activity quickly, more than once. I have also included the correct order so you can show this first. A fun, fast paced stater or plenary resource for KS3 and KS4

A presentation and resources for a lesson on Exo and Endothermic reactions, including a worksheet for a practical activity. I also buy some visual aides from the internet such as hand warmers and self heating cans. There are lots of sites where these are available.
