Three fully resourced lessons taking the learner from an understanding of atoms and molecules through elements and compounds, chemical symbols and formulae and finally to naming compounds and balancing chemical equations. The review lesson is a useful pre-test toll which produces an individual review list for each pupil The versatile games pack can be used to reinforce each section of the current electricity module as it is taught or for revision. Many of the games could be used for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as they come with a hard-copy or PowerPoint of the answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack. What’s Covered All atoms of one element are the same but are different from the atoms of other elements. Atoms combine to form molecules. If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed. If combining atoms are from different element, 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. Elements are listed in the periodic table. Each element has its own symbol. Symbols can be the first letter of the name (capital), two letters from the name (capital then lowercase) or taken from the Latin name of the element. The formula of a compound tells you how many atoms of each element are in it. Working out the number of atoms of each element in a compound from its formula. Naming compounds with the groups CO3, SO4, NO3. Compounds containing only two atoms end in ide. Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3. Conservation of mass. Balancing equations What’s Included – Teaching Materials and Printables Animated PowerPoints for teaching with exit ticket quiz Answer/mark scheme PowerPoints Flip its (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldables Worksheets to support the PowerPoints Fact sheets Homework plus answers (x3) Fact share worksheets Pupil progress self-assessment checklists Periodic table Exit Ticket Suggested lesson plans showing choices possible between resources Games Included Atoms and Molecules Find the Pair Dominoes Elements and Compounds Smart Board Bingo Forces Board Game Dominoes Find the Pair Save the School Librarian Escape Room More high quality resources available here.
