Starts with differentiated structure strips to help students through the reacting masses calculation using moles (GCSE Chemistry - Higher Tier) Orange strip - slightly more hints/support Blue strip - basic guidance through the calculation Then has examples for students try without the structure strip. Though step-by-step hints provided for any still struggling. Would then follow with an exam question from appropriate exam board and ask students to complete without any help.

Round 1: Name that scientist Round 2: Dingbats Round 3: Science general knowledge Round 4: Name that film Round 5: Science related music Round 6: World flags Round 7: Logos

Resource folds into an A5 booklet with the visual instructions on the front and the exam-style questions on the inside. Includes a scientific literacy section focusing on key words in the required practical. Would usually use as students completed the required practical but would also be useful to allow students to follow along during a demonstration (COVID appropriate!)

Full 7 lesson Elements, Mixtures and Compounds SOW. Aimed at a low ability Y8 set. Worksheets marked STR or SUP are differentiated (stretch and support). All lessons planned in 6-part lesson format. Lesson 1 - Atoms Lesson 2 - Elements Lesson 3 - Mixtures Lesson 4 - Compounds Lesson 5 - Chemical formulae Lesson 6 - Writing equations Lesson 7 - EMC Review Most resources my own though some resources may be adapted from other sources, including Activate and TES.

This booklet fits the new AQA Combined and Separate Science Chemistry courses. This booklet is intended to be used as a flipped learning activity before the start of each topic, but can also be used as a independent revision booklet. See instructions on the front: Before the topic • Use your revision guide to answer the 10 comprehension questions covering the basics relating to that topic. • The aim is that you cover these beforehand so that we can spend lesson time on application of knowledge. • All information can be found on the revision guide pages that are referenced for each topic. After the topic • Look back over your original answers and add to them using purple pen. Extension Each topic will have an extension question that requires you to apply your knowledge of the basics. You can attempt this before or after the topic. The revision guide page references are for the Collins AQA guides.

Full 7 lesson Periodic Table SOW. Aimed at a low ability Y8 set. All lessons planned in 6-part lesson format. Lesson 1 - Introduction to the periodic table Lesson 2 - History of the periodic table Lesson 3 - Groups and periods Lesson 4 - Metals and non-metals Lesson 5 - Group 1 Lesson 6 - Group 7 Lesson 7 - Group 0 Most resources my own though some resources may be adapted from other sources, including Activate and TES. Feedback appreciated.

Revision worksheet using a range of retrieval practice and thinking hard strategies (includes colour code/categorise, true or false, label the diagrams and odd one out). Useful revision summary that really requires pupils to think about what they have learnt rather than just repeat. Can also use the keyword quota activity to then assess pupils’ scientific literacy on the topic.

A3 resource to help students visualise what is happening during the electrolysis of four different aqueous solutions (*AQA REQUIRED PRACTICAL). Splits the solutions into the anode and cathode. I tend to work through the first example on the visualiser in this order: 1 - Identify the four ions present in the solution 2 - Draw the two ions that would be attracted to the cathode in the cathode half, repeat for the anode. 3 - Use the rules printed at the top to then identify the product at each electrode. 4 - State the reason for each product (again using the rules at the top) Students can then try the other three examples on their own.

A workbook focusing on the key points of each chemistry required practical for the AQA Trilogy - Combined Science course. Focuses on: Labelling diagrams Writing a method Explaining the results Intended mostly as a revision summary at the end of the course.

Seven lesson topic covering the particle model (from the AQA Mastery style curriculum). Mainly aimed at Y7. Lesson 1 - Particle model introduction Lesson 2 - States of matter Lesson 3 - Melting and freezing Lesson 4 - Boiling and evaporation Lesson 5 - Condensation and sublimation Lesson 6 - Gas pressure and diffusion Lesson 7 - Particle model assessment and review Includes RAG document to use throughout and mini-assessment in the final lesson. Parts of resources taken from other lessons, some of which were found on TES.

Stretching questions linked to the AQA GCSE Combined Science (exams from 2018). Included are A3 revision sheets on: Atomic structure and the Periodic Table Bonding, Structure and the Properties of Matter Chemical Changes Chemistry of the Atmosphere Quantitative Chemistry Using Resources Will be completing these for others topics and will upload in due course if these are found the be useful. If you find this useful please check out the ones I have done for other AQA Physics GCSE topics in my shop.

This project was designed as part of a Y9 SOW. The idea is that the project should take 4 - 6 lessons and will ensure that students recall and understand the basics needed to access GCSE. This is part of a series of 10 projects (all of which can be found in my shop) to cover all KS3 content before beginning GCSE.

Seven lesson topic covering separating mixtures (part of the Matter SOW from the new AQA Mastery style curriculum). Mainly aimed at Y7 level. Lesson 1 - Basic separating techniques Lesson 2 - Filtration (Third World Water Challenge) Lesson 3 - Solutions Lesson 4 - Solubility Lesson 5 - Distillation Lesson 6 - Chromatography (Who Shot Mr Burns) Lesson 7 - Separating mixtures assessment and review (Desert Island Challenge) Includes RAG document to use throughout and mini-assessment in the final lesson. Parts of resources taken from other lessons, some of which were found on TES.
