Lesson 1 - Conservation of mass and balancing equations Lesson 2 - Relative formula mass Lesson 3 - Mass changes when a product or reactant is a gas Lesson 4 - Chemical measurements Lesson 5 - Moles Lesson 6 - Amount of substances Lesson 7 - Using moles to balance equations Lesson 8 - Limiting reactants Lesson 9 - Concentration of solutions

Structure strips to help students answer common Structure & Bonding explain questions. This resource is aimed at lower ability but could be used to aid structuring exam questions for any ability.

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.

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)

Worksheet set out in the IDEAL structure to cover the titration required practical. Exam question for Link section is from exampro. I - Identify the equipment D - Describe the method E - Explain the method A - Analyse the results L - Link to exam question

High ability Unit 3 Physics (AQA) eye lesson. Including dissection activity to retrieve the lens with differentiated worksheets provided for this. 6 mark QWC question, with helpsheets,

Mini-project that aims to consolidate knowledge from P.1.1.1 to P1.1.4 (convection, conduction, heat transfer, heating and insulation). Students to design and make their own model of an insulated house. Can get students to bring their own materials or provide them (e.g. cardboard boxes, tinfoil etc.) Takes 2 to 3 lessons. Winner decided by setting up a thermometer in the house and using a heat source, a light bulb that gives off a lot of heat works best, and then seeing which house reaches the highest internal temperature.
