A collection of 12 starters for Edexcel 9-1 Separate Science separate chemistry 1. Each starter contains bronze/silver/gold questions for students to complete. A second slide shows all the answers. There is a starter for each lesson in Separate Chemistry 1: transition metals, corrosion & electroplating, alloys, titrations, equilibrium, fertilisers, fuel cells, gas volume calculations, molarity and concentration and percent yield.

A lesson on fuel cells designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what a chemical and a fuel cell are, how a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell works and advantages/disadvantages of fuel cells. Includes exam questions for students to complete. No printing required.

A lesson on equilibria and Haber designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson reviews the factors that impact equilibrium, discusses factors that impact the rate at which a reaction reaches equilibrium and applies this to the Haber Process. Contains an exam question for students to complete. No printing required.

A lesson on fertilisers designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what a fertiliser is, how they are made in the lab and how they are made in industry. Contains a suggested practical and exam questions for students to complete. Would need 2 lessons if students complete the practical.

A lesson on gas volumes and calculations designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. Lesson goes over what molar volume of a gas is, how to calculate the volume of a gas from moles (and vice versa) and how to apply gas volumes to reacting mass calculations. Contains exam questions and calculation questions for students to complete on the Power Point with answers – no printing required. Update: Optional worksheet included if you want to print it out to give students extra practice – I used it as a starter for the following lesson.

A lesson on yield and atom economy designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. This lesson goes over how to calculate per cent yield, factors influencing yield and how to calculate atom economy. Contains slides with calculations for students to carry out, with the steps and answers appearing with a click. No printing required.

A lesson on titrations designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. This resource includes three Power Points -- the first covers what titration is, what equipment is needed for titration and instructions on how to carry out a rough titration. The second Power Point is for a slow titration practical and the third Power Point goes over titration calculations based on exam questions.

A lesson on molarity designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson reviews mole calculations, explains how to calculate molarity and how to convert between concentration in moles/dm3 and grams/dm3. Contains bronze/silver/gold tasks (with answers on the next slide) for students to carry out for each calculation. No printing required.

A lesson on alloys designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what an alloy is, why alloys are stronger than pure metals and the properties and uses of alloys. Contains factsheets and a table for students to fill in and exam questions to complete.

A lesson on corrosion and electroplating designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what corrosion is, how rusting of iron can be prevented and how electroplating works. Includes a link to a video, gap fills and exam questions for students to complete – no printing required.

A lesson on transition metals designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers properties and uses of metals and transition metals.

A Power Point lesson for the early and changing atmosphere. For Edexcel GCSE 9-1 spec. Covers what gases are in the atmosphere and how the formation of oceans and plants changed the atmosphere.

A lesson covering reacting mass calculations (using moles) with a 1:1 ratio, reacting masses with a 2:1 ratio (hasn’t normally come up but was on the Year 10 paper), what is a limiting reagent and calculating the limiting reagent from grams. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec and contains higher only content. Contains exam questions on the slides or as a worksheet in a word document, so you can decide whether or not to print out the main task. All of the lesson can be done without printing.

A lesson on what a mole is, how to convert between moles and particles and how to calculate moles from masses (and vice versa). This lesson is higher only content. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson on empirical formulas. It covers the method of finding an empirical formula by experiment, how to calculate the empirical formula from reacting masses and percentage composition and how to write a balanced equation from the reacting masses (this last topic is higher only). Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson covering formulas and calculations - the lesson covers relative definitions of empirical and molecular formulas, how to get an empirical formula from a molecular formula, and how to calculate a molecular formula from an empirical formula and the relative formula mass. Includes plenty of questions for students to work out on the slides so not printing is needed. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE spec.

A selection of bronze/silver/gold starters covering ions, ionic bonding, lattices, properties of ionic compounds, covalent bonding, properties of covalent compounds, giant covalent structures and metallic bonding. Designed for the new GCSE 9-1 spec.

A lesson on the different forms of carbon - diamond, graphite, graphene and buckminster fullerene. Slides could be used to present lesson at the front or used as factsheets to allow students to design a poster on the different forms of carbon. Includes concise slides on each form of carbon, exam questions and links to videos. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification.

Includes two Power Points on ions and ionic bonding. Could be used as two lessons or condensed into one depending on the ability of the group. Ions lesson covers: what is an ion, how ions are formed in terms of electrons, how to calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an ion. Ionic boding lesson covers: when do ionic bonds form, what is an ionic bond and dot and cross structures. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification but would work for other exam boards as well.

A lesson on metallic bonding designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers the properties of metals, what metallic bonding is and explanations of the properties of metals.
