The start of this lesson involves a BIG write where students are provided with information on the water poisoning incident at Camelford and are asked with success criteria to explain how they could test to see if the water was safe to drink using knowledge from previous lessons in this topic. The second half of this lesson involves a learning check to see who is confident with writing and balancing symbol equations. On the back of this check confident students compete in a race with other groups of confident students to balance a series of ever increasingly hard equations. Students who are less confident work with the teachers in a focus group on balancing equation. I used this for an observed lesson and it worked really well. Save yourself some time and hassle and grab yourself a bargain.

Lesson 1 focuses on a practical testing various cations apart from ammonium ions Lesson 2 focuses on a practical testing a variety of fertilisers to see if they contain ammonium ions All worksheets and notes for technicians are provided. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

Lesson 1 is based around flame tests for various cations Lesson 2 is based around precipitation reactions for various anions Each lesson was created for a triple science top set class and lasted an our each. Each has regular learning checks and opportunities for independent work. Save yourself some time and hassle and grab yourself a bargain.

This group of powerpoints covers the Edexcel (9-1) specification for the electrolytic processes and covers all of the outcomes covered in the spec for this topic. N.B Many of the lessons include built in worksheets that can easily be printed off. Grab yourself a bargain and save yourself loads of time. Thanks for looking Jon

This assembly grabs the students attention with the first slide asking them to vote whether or not school should start at 10am instead of 8.50. The assembly goes on to look at the arguments for and against and the current research that is going on in the uk at the moment with 100 test school. I went on to tell them that unfortunately we haven't been selected for the trial but its findings could impact us. I then went on to say that until then they should take note of the sleep scientists top tips for a good night sleep which includes the science of blue light from mobile phone screens and its effect on the sleep hormone melatonin. This powerpoint lasts around 15minutes. Enjoy.

This resource includes 4 powerpoint based lessons with worksheets integrated into the powerpoint so you can print them off easily. I have created it based on the new national curriculum framework which appears to be bringing a lot of content down from the KS4 curriculum. This is followed by a fifth assessment based lesson where students complete a level assessed task. Each powerpoint contains footnotes to explain what should be done if it is not obvious. Each powerpoint is planned to take between 50 and 60 minutes and includes plenty of student lead learning and many opportunities for assessing student learning throughout the lessons. Thank you for looking.

Entire KS3 scheme of work with level assessed task and end of unit test with markscheme and levels. Created around the new KS3 national curriculum framework it encompasses powerpoint based lessons and associated worksheets, homework and assessments Each lesson includes a requisition list for lab techs and where it is not obvious foot notes have been created. Each lesson has been planned to last between 50-60 minutes and includes differentiated outcomes and activities I taught this to my year 7s and it worked really well but also allowed me to make a few tweaks that you can now benefit from. All in all it took me about 25hours to create during my summer holidays so save yourself some time and grab yourself a bargain! Lesson 1 - Introduction to acids and alkalis - practical identifying everyday acids and alkalis with blue and red litmus paper Lesson 2 - Finding out how strong acids and alkalis are - practical using universal indicator Lesson 3 - Neutralisation reactions - class demo of mixing acids and alkalis with universal indicator Lesson 4 - Investigating which neutralises more acid - own brand or branded indigestion tablets Lesson 5 - Introduction to chromatograpy - practical Lesson 6 - Conservation of mass - dissolving salt in water practical Lesson 7 - Separating salt from rock salt practical through filtration Lesson 8 - Separating salt from water practical through evaporation Lesson 9 - Level assessed task on dissolving Lesson 10 - End of topic test with markscheme

An introduction Key stage 3 lesson on acids and alkalis, based on the new national curriculum framework. Students identify physical properties of alkalis and acids - soapy to touch, sour tasting Students identify chemical properties from diagrams and formulas of alkalis and acids. Small experiment with requisition list included - testing acids and alkalis with red and blue litmus paper.
