The resources included here are designed to be stimulating, challenging and adequately differentiated. Time is precious to a teacher, and these 'oven ready lessons' include everything you need at a cost effective price. The resources included are perfect for subject specialists and non-specialists alike, and are produced through a modern/professional use of PowerPoint which utilises graphics, animation and timers (etc.) to promote maximum progress during lessons.

A complete lesson on the topic of solubility, based upon activate 2 SOW. The lesson includes a simple practical where students assess how temperature effects the solubility of salt within water. Ranked questions and stretch activities support differentiation, support sheets guide students through the practical, timers promote pace and powerpoint animation facilitates Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.
A full 1h lesson based on the activate 2 'metals and water' topic. The lesson incorporates a demonstration of group 1 metals reacting with water, alongside a reaction of magnesium and steam. If you are uncomfortable doing this videos can be used as an alternative. Prediction and equation writing is planned ahead of these demonstrations - students are scaffolded up to this. Students produce a mnemonic to remember the reactivity series and test their learning through a simple ( but fun) planner card activity. A great lesson to 'promote a love of learning' .
A full, differentiated lesson based on the new AQA SOW (C5.7). A starter where students categorise items as acidic, alkaline or neutral is used to determine preconceived knowledge. Following this the pH range, acids, bases, and alkalis are discussed making use of examples. Students are prompted to take notes at key points using red font and a pen symbol. The release of H+ and OH- ions is also discussed ahead of methods in determining the pH of solutions. Knowledge is then applied to a differentiated question grid followed by peer/self-marking. A practical exercise (tailored to (C5.7) is then conducted where students prepare a pH curve by systematically adding acid to an alkaline solution using a burette, and monitoring the pH using a probe. Note, pipettes and universal indicator can be used as simple alternatives respectively. Stretch questions are included for the more able. The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are incorporated into the slides facilitating self/peer marking and timers are included to promote pace.
Full differentiated lesson including practical activity and risk assessment. Tailored to activate SOW but can be used for others. Lesson is differentiated to support both more and less able. Timings and powerpoint animations used to keep pace and facilitate Q/A during self or peer marking.
A full differentiated lesson for group 7 elements with everything you need. Based on activate SOW for year 8 but can be used for other SOW or age groups.
A complete lesson with everything you need for the topic of ions. Based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for others. Includes timers to promote pace and powerpoint animation to facilitate Q/A during peer or self correction of answers. Class wide AFL included and quiz for plenary exercise.
A full lesson covering rates of reaction (temp catalysts etc.) and how to calculate it from a graph. Lesson is fully differentiated, includes timers for pace and has powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during a review of each learning checkpoint. Lesson is based on OCR SOW but could be used for any.
A complete, differentiated lesson for the topic of solutions. Additional green, yellow and red planner cards are needed for one of the AFL activities. The lesson is based on the Activate SOW and planned for a year 8 class. Could be used for other SOW’s and year groups depending on ability. Timers are included to promote pace and the answers for each learning checkpoint are incorporated into the slides through animation. A ‘car race’ plenary is included with preprepared questions and answers.
A full lesson based on the new AQA (C5.2) SOW but could be used for others. This lesson has been prepared for a low to mid range ability. Displacement reactions are introduced through the starter and a short talk, students are prompted to take note of key text highlighted in red. There is then a short scaffolded activity where students must predict whether or not a reaction will occur by referring to the reactivity series. There is then a teacher led demonstration of such reactions, during which students must complete a table handout. Following a review of observations students are taught about carbon and hydrogens position within series during a short talk. Students then apply themselves to questions based on the content of the lesson. The plenary involves students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included through animation facilitating self/peer correction during questioning. Timers are included to promote pace. Instruction for the lab demonstration are also included.
Complete lesson with plan, support sheets. Fully differentiated and has timings for pace and PowerPoint animations to accommodate for Q/A during peer or self review of answers after each learning checkpoint. Exciting 'car race' plenary included with pre-made question/answer sheet.
Full differentiated lesson with everything you need for group 1 metals. Based on activate SOW and pitched to year 8 group - can be used for other years/SOW. Opportunity to demonstrate group 1 reactivity but video included in case otherwise. Class wide AFL through red, yellow and green card show me. Data activity included for independent learning with support sheets for less able.
A complete differentiated lesson with everything you need for the properties of ionic compounds. Tailored towards Edexcell SOW but can be used for others.
A full lesson with everything you need for covalent bonds. Based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for others. Animations and timers included to promote pace and Q/A during self or peer mediated correction of answers. Differentiated question grid included which also promotes challenge. Reflective plenary included based on progress against LO’s.
Full differentiated lesson with everything you need. Based on activate SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Timers and powerpoint animations included to promote pace and Q/A during peer or self mediated correction. Exciting 'car race' plenary included with ready made questions. Class wide AFL supported through simple show me 'red, green or yellow card' exercise.
Full d lesson with everything you need, based on activate SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Powerpoint animations included to facilitate self or peer mediated correction, timers included to promote pace. Whiteboard activity for class wide AFL and articulate activity included to promote literacy. Reflective plenary included.
A full revision lesson based on the Activate 2 (C2.1) SOW but can be used for others. This lesson recaps metals and non-metals, periods and groups of the periodic table, properties of group 1 elements and reactivity in group 7 elements (displacement reactions). The starter activity is taken from another author on TES.
