This lesson was designed based on current specifications from AQA GCSE chemistry. It is very effective to ask pupils to count the stairs on one side of the school before the lesson, and collect their varied results.

SImple practical, using drop wells. (reactions occur more when heated slightly)

Metals and Non metals split, elements vs compounds, metals and non-metals

Links to units of work involving metal reactivity series and rust.

Resource to assist a carousel practical activity.

Acid + Metal, makes Hydrogen gas. Key Stage 3 level.

Resources to assist practical of Zn + Acid, with Cu catalyst.

These resources were successfully used to guide key stage 3 pupils through the practical ‘testing for starch’. Bunsen burners were used to heat the water.

This is a worksheet to help scaffold the skill of constructing correct ratios of atoms in formula, based on using group number from periodic table. It also includes a role play of a ‘real chemical plant reactor’ to increase interest.

This presentation covers main reactions of group 1 metals, with tasks in the slides. It also prepares class for practical, flame tests. It then provides a fun way to remember the colours of Li, Na and K. You must play SMOKE ON THE WATER from your computer… Have fun

This is a worksheet that makes the concept of catalysts more relevant for key stage 3 pupils with contexts of car manufacturers.

Required GCSE Chemistry Practical, Making soluble Copper Sulfate from insoluble base Copper Oxide. These resources have been successfully used with key stage four classes.

Powerpoint covers basics of resultant forces and types of levers with various tasks to fill up a lesson.

Covers basics of pitch (frequency) and volume (amplitude).

Lesson on diabetes for edexcel or AQA GCSE. Includes song lyrics to help learn keywords and concepts (to tune of heads shoulders knees and toes. )

worksheet activity, easy maths, interesting comparison of weight on planets

Lesson on physics basics of changing states and melting curves. Interesting fact sheets about liquid metal at end of powerpoint.

15minute educational interesting assesmbly

Print, laminate, cut up, group work carousel around the room. Helps prepare Key Stage 4 Year 10 pupils for end of unit 2 chemistry test. Questions are a mix of Foundation and Higher.
