Periodic Table of Elements Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Wilcard and Snap Card Games
A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the periodic table of elements for middle school plus a pack of cards for enjoyable and challenging games of wildcard or snap.
The teaching pack contains eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built i to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made.
The game is closely related to the topic content and can be used to reinforce learning or for test prep.
What’s Covered
Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of atomic number.
Metals are on the left of the table and non – metals on the right with a zig – zag line dividing the two.
Some of the metals touching the zig – zag are semi – metals or metalloids which means they have some properties of metals and of non – metals.
Vertical columns are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods.
Each period starts with metals on the left and end with non – metals on the right.
The elements within each group have similar physical and chemical properties.
Group 1 are the alkali metals. Group 2 are the alkaline earth metals. Group 7 are the halogens. Group 0 are the rare or noble gases. The central block are the transition metals.
On the left – hand side of the table, reactivity increases as you go down a group and on the right – hand side of the table reactivity increases as you go up a group.
Group 1: can be cut with a knife; must be stored under oil; low density – lithium, sodium and potassium float on water; form compounds which are solid at room temperature; form compounds with similar formulae LiCl, NaCl. Group 7; are all colored; react with hydrogen to form acids; react with metals to form salts.
Alkali metal + water --> alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen
lithium + water --> lithium hydroxide + hydrogen
Group 0 are all inert gases – they do not react with other elements
Transition metals; except for mercury, which is a liquid, these are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen.

Plant Anatomy and Life Cycle - Find the Pair Team Game KS3
With questions on plant parts, pollination, fertilization, seed structure and dispersal and germination, this engaging and enjoyable memory game on plant anatomy and the life cycle of the plant can be used to consolidate learning after the topics have been taught or as test prep.
How to Play
Pupils work in teams of three or four.
Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards.
If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
Included in this Pack.

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.

Plant Anatomy and Photosynthesis Explained With Two Virtual Investigations KS3
Four fully resourced lessons on plant anatomy and photosynthesis, each with an engaging animated PowerPoint. This includes two virtual investigations.
Lessons Included
Plant anatomy
Photosynthesis facts
Virtual investigation 1 – does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis
Virtual investigation 2 – testing a leaf for starch
Each virtual investigation takes the student through the stages of making a prediction, planning, constructing a table, drawing a graph and a conclusion. Each can be used as instructions for the student to follow to perform their own experiment or the scientifically accurate animations themselves can be used to obtain results.
What’s Covered
Root, stem and leaf are plant organs.
Flower is an organ system.
Function of root, stem and leaf.
Transpiration.
Labelling parts of a flower.
Carpel and stamen are the female and male reproductive organs.
Role of played by xylem, phloem, guard cells, stomata and chloroplasts in photosynthesis.
Graphing rate of photosynthesis against, carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity and temperature.
Word equations for photosynthesis and respiration.
Comparison of photosynthesis and respiration.
Paraffin heaters as sources of carbon dioxide in greenhouses.
