This activity assists students in planning selected Chemistry required practicals. Each practical has an overview with an equipment list as well as a student work sheet with cues. Suitable for use with years 9-11.

This lesson includes practical ideas and gives students the opportunity to evaluate each method of analysis Lesson objectives *To complete practical tests for metal ions *To interpret flame emission spectroscopy *To evaluate each method

Collection of activities focusing on the calculations involved in the new GCSE Chemistry Paper 1 (AQA syllabus). Each topic is explained with examples and provides questions to attempt (answers also in the presentation). This could be used as revision or each subtopic slide used when planning individual lessons. Content: Calculating atomic mass RFM and % mass Atom economy RF values Conservation of mass Concentration of solutions Titration reaction Reacting masses Bond enthalpies

The quiz is a great revision resource to promote students’ confidence prior to sitting the exam. The activity is suitable for both year 10 and year 11. It can be used as a classroom activity or an extended day

A set of homeworks for KS3 students to research key discoveries in science. Created to be completed in a half term as a group of weekly tasks.

The lesson provides an overview for the negative ion tests. It enables students to complete practical work and use their knowledge of ion tests to determine the composition of compounds. Lesson objectives To describe the range of negative ion tests To recall the positive result for each test To identify compounds based on observations

New GCSE lesson on the greenhouse effect for the new AQA syllabus. Practise at a 6 mark question. All exam questions included with mark schemes. Learning Objectives: Identify greenhouse gases Explain how the greenhouse effect occurs Discuss the causes and effects of global warming

A selection of quizzes from the GCSE chemistry course. Each quiz can be printed as an A4 quiz for students

New GCSE lesson on bond enthalpy for the AQA exam board Learning Objectives: Recall the energy changes in bond breaking and making Explain why reactions are exothermic or endothermic in terms of bond enthalpy Calculate the energy transfer in reactions using bond energies

KS3 lesson used to teach about metal ores and extracting them from the ground. Learning Objectives: Describe why metals are found as ores Explain the impact of extracting these ores from the ground Analyse the impact on humans of extracting ores from the ground

Two lessons, with one on Glass, ceramics and composites and another on rusting. Both differentiated throughout and exam questions included (with one scaffolded for support). The first lesson includes making different types of concrete by having different ratios of ingredients, with their strength to be tested at the beginning of the next lesson (rusting). Rusting lesson has an experiment to test the conditions needed for rusting to occur. Learning Objectives: Explain who ceramics are made Explain how different properties are related to their functions Compare the physical properties of glass, ceramics and composites Learning Objectives: Describe what rusting is and the factors that cause it to happen Explain how different methods can prevent rusting from occurring Justify why alloys are used

The lesson is aimed at Triple Science GCSE. Within the Powerpoint there are activities, including a practical, for students to practice their learning. Differentiated questions included.

The resource contains a wide range of worksheets which will prepare students for year 1 or year 2 exams. There are sheets for many of the target functional groups and questions on multi stage syntheses

New GCSE lesson on hydrocarbons and introducing alkanes to the students. When looking at the different properties of the different length hydrocarbon chains the practical demo I did was to show them 'short chain' alkanes and 'long chain' alkanes and compare the two. The students then wrote down the results a table which is shown in the lesson. Learning Objectives: Describe what crude oil is and where it has come from Draw out and identify alkanes using molecular and displayed formulae Explain the properties of different chain length alkanes

New GCSE lesson on polluting gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels for the new AQA syllabus Learning Objectives: Describe the pollutants produced by combustion Explain the problems associated with each pollutant Discuss what can be done to reduce the carbon footprint of a country Analyse the social, economical and ethical results of the problems caused by pollutants

Directed towards KS3 but could be used with low ability KS4 lesson on balancing equations and naming compounds. Learning Objectives: Identify the ion charges of each group Construct formula through their ion charges Work out formulas for compounds Balance equations

New GCSE lesson on potable water for the AQA syllabus. For the required practical I used the practical sheets provided by the AQA exam board. Exam questions and answers included. Learning Objectives: Describe the differences between potable and pure water Explain the process of desalination Evaluate the steps used to produce potable water

These sheets are to help students revise content from Chemistry Paper 1 (triology) that they need to know for the new GCSE specifications. They could be used with Year 10 or 11. Each sheet has differentiated questions. They could be used in lessons, for homework or in extended days for Year 11 students.
