Chromatography lesson with independent learning worksheet getting pupils to develop their investigatory skills and see how chromatography is used in forensics.

Lesson I used for a mixed ability year 7 class so is full of differentiation. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways, you just need to cut it into 5 parts. When I talk about 'particle stickers' I just gave the pupils some small circle stickers to use which they enjoyed :) Hope this is useful!

Lesson I used with a low ability year 8 group but worked really well and could easily be adapted for higher ability groups!

Lesson on transition metals for AQA Spec, but can easily be adapted! A bid to make this topic slightly more exciting :) Enjoy!

Here are some G&T questions I made up to challenge my more able students! I stuck them on A5 playing cards in difficulty order e.g. 2-5 easy (Aimed more at Year7) 6-9 Medium (Aimed at year 8) and 10-ace hard (Aimed at year 9). They include some 'How Science Works&' questions and also some general extension tasks. Enjoy- my classes love them!

I used this lesson with a very lively year 7 class, so added an element of drama to keep them engaged!

This worked really well with my year 10 class! The mindmap was fab! Got students into groups of 3-4 and I had to sign off each task when it was done in the square. I made each member of the group explain it to me before I signed it off so I could see they really understood it. It also got a real sense of competition going!

Lesson for AQA Chemistry C2.2. Was a recap lesson on alloys and metallic bonding but worked well :) enjoy!

Lesson I used with a low/middle ability year 10 group about thermal decomposition of limestone and other metal carbonates. Includes a code breaker activity where students had to decode answers around the room! Worked well, and made the topic slightly more exciting :) Has a differentiated worksheet for writing equations for this topic too.

Lesson on the two methods used to produce ethanol. I got the students to make their own ethanol and I distilled it in a later lesson. Has a nice debate at the end too, as to which method they think would be the best for BP to use if they started using biofuels! Enjoy :)

Lesson on what the Ozone layer is, why it's important and what's happening to it. Includes a card sort and worksheets, both of which are found on the slides at the bottom of the ppt. Uploaded as I was realising it's difficult to find a simple lesson on this. I have made this for delivery to a year 9 class so have included some of what happens on a molecular level but not in much depth. Hope it's useful :)
