This is UPDATED to include the powerpoints, worksheets and TDA for the AQA Entry Level Certificate in Science Component 3 - Elements, Mixtures and compounds. I have included powerpoints for each part of this component suitable for low ability learners: Atoms, elements and compounds - Atoms and the Periodic Table, groups in the periodic table, making compounds Mixtures and compounds - states of matter, mixtures, chromatography, structures of carbon, polymers Metals and alloys - Metals, alloys, Extracting and recycling metals

Edexcel CC11d Life Cycle Assessment and recycling. This introduces students to the life cycle assessment for various products including metals, paper and plastic.

Edexcvel CC12a Dynamic Equilibrium. This powerpoint introduces students to reversible reactions, equilibrium in closed systems and then discusses the Haber Process as a manufacturing process that looks at changing the conditions of a reversible reaction to maximise product and profit.

Edexcel CC8g Solubility. This powerpoint starts with a demo of lead nitrate and potassium iodide reacting together to give a bright yellow precipitate. I try and and make this a bit of a magic show! This then leads on to looking at the solubility rules and deciding which salts are soluble or not. After some practice of finding the precipitate, the students are then shown how to make an insoluble salt. The lesson finishes with an exit ticket which could be handed in so that the teacher can find out what students are still unsure of.

Edexcel CC8f Reactions of acids with metals and carbonates. This powerpoint starts by looking at the tests for hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It then looks at how metals react with acids and how metal carbonates react with acids discussing what products are formed in each case. It then guides the students slowly through writing ionic equations step by step, mentioning spectator ions and half equations.

Edexcel CC10b products from electrolysis. This presentation guides students through predicting the products of electrolysis firstly with molten ionic salts, then with aqueous ionic salts and finally it gives a few examples that are unusual eg purification of copper and electrolysis of sodium sulfate. there are 3 differentiated worksheets included with this.

This is the UPDATED powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s for the AQA Entry Level Certificate in Science Component 4 - Chemistry in our world. I have included powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s for each part of this component suitable for low ability learners: Reactions of acids - neutralisation, metals and acids, investigating acids and carbonates Energy and rate of reaction - energy transfers, rate of reaction, monitoring rate of reaction Fuels and the atmosphere - development of the atmosphere, crude oil, fuels and combustion, air pollution, climate change Water for drinking - drinking water, investigating water

This is all the resources I created for the TDA element of AQA ELC double science. It includes powerpoints for each TDA for component 1,2,3, 4, 5 and 6, which includes a method card sort. It also includes 2 versions of the TDA record sheet - a lower ability and medium ability version. There is also a powerpoint to be used to teach variables and also graph work.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8b Looking at acids - higher students. This powerpoint starts with practice at converting between cm3 and dm3 and vice versa. (Maths skills - converting units) It looks at the difference between strong and weak acids and concentrated and dilute acids. It also discusses the ions in solution and how they relate to pH. (Maths skill - factors)

Edexcel Combined Science CC8d Alkalis and balancing equations.This powerpoint starts off with looking at some common alkalis and how to name salts formed from alkalis reacting with acids. It then guides the student through how to write word and balanced symbol equations in easy to follow steps with plenty of examples to practice.

This powerpoint introduces KS3 to air pollution and ways to reduce it.

Edexcel CC11c Oxidation and Reduction. This powerpoint introduces students to oxidation and reduction both in terms of oxygen and electrons. A differentiated worksheet is included to practice this skill.

A lesson to introduce ionic bonding to year 11. This should be followed up by more lessons that go into more detail on each section. This could also be used as a revision of ionic bonding before the exams!

A powerpoint I used with year 12 students that I made using 2 other powerpoints from the TES ( thank you!) It provides last minute revision for a final hour lesson on enthalpy changes,

A powerpoint and lesson plan for introducing oxidation numbers to year 12 chemistry students.
