Many students get confused over Bonding and Properties
So to help I have created this one single page in excel - which can be used as a handout to the class.
The 1 pager covers:
Metallic bonds, ionic bonds, covalent bonds, melting point, boiling point, conductivity, solubility.

This is a series of 5 lessons that expertly and fully delivers all the points within the NEW KS3 specification SoW on the light topic.
These PowerPoints and their varied and interesting activities keep lower ability students engaged while allowing differentiation for higher ability. I’m sure you’ll find them very useful.
For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons.
ACTIVITIES:
Practical experiments, demonstrations, anagrams, picture puzzles, differentiation, gap fills, matching activities, up and about, self and peer assessment, quizzes, videos, questioning, literacy etc etc etc. All answers are provided. Great variety, fun and engaging.
SPECIFICATION POINTS – COVERS ALL OF KS3 LIGHT SPEC - SOME ARE LISTED BELOW:
* Light travels in straight lines.
* Light travels much faster than sound.
* Speed of light.
* Calculations of speed.
* We see things because they reflect light into our eyes.
* Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object.
* Recall how fast light travels.
* Investigate whether light travels in straight lines.
* Understand reflections, absorption and scatter.
* Understand “refraction” is when light changes direction and speed as it enters another medium.
* Work well as a team member during a “refraction” experiment.
* How lenses correct our sight
* Refractive index – and calculations
* How can we show all the colours that make up white light?
* Predict the colour that results when different colours are added together
* How do coloured filters affect white light?
* Understand that different colours are caused by light waves having different “frequencies”.
* Be able to name the parts of the eye.
* Understand the “function” of parts of the eye
* etc etc etc
All resources are included in these great lessons, there is nothing for you to do but print the activity sheets (if required) give the kit lists to your technicians and enjoy teaching it.
Thank you for looking, your feedback would be much appreciated! :)
Happy teaching,
