Elements and Compounds Dominoes KS3
80 dominoes with questions and answers on elements, compounds, atoms, molecules, formulae and naming compounds instead of numbers.
Prior Knowledge
Atoms combine to form molecules.
If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed but if they are from different elements, a molecule of a compound is formed.
An element contains only one type of atom.
A compound contains two or more different types of atom combined together chemically.
Each element has its own symbol.
Some symbols are the capitalized first letter of the name of the element .
Some symbols have two letters from the name with only the first capitalized.
Some symbols are taken from the Latin name of the element.
Know that a chemical formula tells you how many atoms of each element are in a compound.
Know that if there is no letter after a symbol in a formula, there is only one atom of that element in the compound.
Know that if a formula contains brackets, every element inside the bracket is multiplied by that number.
Know that compounds ending in ide contain only two elements.
Know that compounds containing CO3 are carbonates, SO4 are sulphates and NO3 are nitrates.
Know that mono is one, di is two and tri is three.
Be able to name and work out the number of atoms of each element in a compound without brackets in its formula.
What You Get
80 dominos
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

Current Electricity - Lamps in series and Parallel - Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning for KS3
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19.
The classroom resource consists of an animated 10 slide PowerPoint and 12 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class.
The distance learning pack consists of a 45 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher.
The practical, whether real time in the classroom of simulated for distance learning, takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.
Objective
To know that as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer.
To know that as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change.
To know that if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness.
To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out.
To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.

Breathing provides the oxygen for aerobic respiration and gets rid of waste carbon dioxide.
Label the trachea, right bronchus, bronchiole, alveolus, intercostal muscle, rib, diaphragm.
Label a diagram of an alveolus and show the direction of diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Experiment using limewater to compare the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled and exhaled air.
Compare the percentage of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air.
Mechanism of breathing.
Changes in volume and pressure inside the chest during inhalation and exhalation.
Evaluate a model of the mechanism of breathing.

Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.
