A lesson looking at the need to find alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels. The advantages and disadvantages of different fuels are considered.

A fully resourced lesson with various activities linked to the discovery and trends in properties of the noble gases. Also included an activity on the uses of noble gases

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 summary of energy transfers for the physics P1 content - this summary is suitable for medium to low ability students. I have used this printed on A3 paper and it has kept students engaged for an extended time trying to fit in all the answers

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

A presentation that links the structure of an atom to what is meant by a stable and unstable nucleus

This lesson links to the new AQA physics / Trilogy GCSE. The resources give pupils the opportunity to use graphs to carry out data analysis and make conclusion from the data they find. The data is linked to domestic and global energy demands and the energy resources we use to provide these needs. One of the tasks includes a group activity where pupils need to present their findings. There is a starter to summarise environmental issues linked to use of fossil Fuels. The lesson also includes how fossil fuel and nuclear power stations generate electricity where pupils complete a sequencing activity.

A fully resourced lesson on the structure of the leaf. Can easily be adapted be suitable for either KS3 or KS4. Various worksheets are linked to the presentation, which also contains mini assessments and a good video

A revision mat on for the Trilogy AQA Physics radiation unit. Print out a blank copy of the summary sheet. Give pupils access to the internet of textbooks to try and find the answers. The answers are available for self / peer assessment by the end of the lesson. Also a good homework activity to assist in revision before an end of unit test

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 fully resourced lesson. Print out the leaflet as an A5 booklet. The presentation has slides that can be printed out and laminated if you wish, and then placed around the room for pupils to gather information from. The radiation cards act like A,B,C cards and can be used so pupils can show their response to the quiz at the end of the lesson

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
