End of KS3 Matter project

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.

Structure & Bonding comparison questions

Resource designed to help students unpick how to answer comparison questions at GCSE. Starts by breaking down the question, including command words and key terminology. Then splits the answer “structure strip” style - I would usually model this under the visualiser. Students to then try applying the technique to two more examples.

Strcuture & Bonding picture prompt

(0)
Retrieval practice activity. Most useful as revision at the end of the topic as requires knowledge of all three bonding types. Each worksheet includes 5 pictures and the pupil must suggest how each picture links to the topic. Standard version are slightly easier to link to the topic (e.g. covalent bonding diagram for water). Hard version more conceptually challenging (e.g. pictures showing transfer, sharing etc)
