An introduction into how we use the resources the Earth provides. (graphs provided by AQA Third Edition Chemistry) Covers defining 'finite' and 'renewable' Discusses how resources are obtained (can be altered for research task) Compares data to determine sustainability Group activity about the role of scientists in assisting agriculture and industry Includes printable tables and definitions to save time

This lesson was designed to deliver to KS4 but can be altered for lower levels if required, had greatly assisted my lower levels to understand and access this topic. Also a useful tie in for the physics topic on ‘radiation’. Preview in PDF Goes through the history of the atom from Ancient Greece, John Dalton, JJ Thomson and finally the Rutherford experiment. Animation shows the different paths the alpha particles took and enables the students to visualise how the different paths helped to explain the nuclear model and disprove the plum pudding. Plenary is exam style questions with answers provided.

Designed to assist KS4 with introduction to quantitative chemistry. Covers the law of conservation of mass. Leads students through understanding formulae, identifying elements and atom count, and carries through to worked examples for Relative formula mass. Animated presentation assists students of all levels to understand balancing equations. Step by step guide with example workings to assist learners of different styles. Differentiated sheets for practising balancing equations. Discusses how matter can be lost via gas or gained via oxidation. Exam style question for plenary

Delivered to a year 9 KS4 class but can be altered for each year or ability. Introduces the students to the idea of fractions being hydrocarbons of similar length and propeties. Visual aids help the students to understand how chain length and intermolecular forces affect properties of the fractions. QR codes provided and link to youtube channels. Student lead activity to explain how fractional distilation occurs (chance to make model answers). Worksheet included for researching the fractions and their uses. Plenary is exam style questions

Introduction to Acid and Alkali for KS3. Discusses the uses of acids and alkali with household examples. The properties of acids and alkalis Introduces the pH scale (best with teacher demo) For higher level students a task to identify relevant ions Worksheet attached for possible homework or application task

Designed for year 10 and 11 for the new AQA specification. Animated powerpoint designed to lead students through calculating resultant forces using right angle triangles. Introduction is a recap on resultant forces. Allows students to become confident with drawing ‘triangles of forces’ for diagonal resultant forces (animated answers to show the relevant forces) Shows how ‘alternate angles’ are used to help calculate angles. Worked examples of SOHCAHTOA to calculate angles and unknown forces Plenary is a worked exam style question.

Designed for higher ability KS3 and KS4 students. This recaps on the nuclear symbol of the element and how to determine proton, electron and neutron numbers. From here the students are given the rules for drawing an atom with animated example. Students are given questions (coloured for differentiating starting points) to apply their knowledge. An exam style question is given as an extension paper with mark scheme provided. Students then introduced to how the periodic table is designed to help determine an element’s reactivity. Electron configuration template provided for students who struggle or for simple neatness. Plenary is an exam style question with answers.

This was delivered to a Year 10 class. Can be altered for different abilities. Introduction discusses elastic as a property. Recaps on Hooke's law to give context. Leads through calculation from spring constant to elastic potential with example. Worksheet attached.

Please see preview PDF as TES preview doesn’t support the powerpoint format. Delivered to years 10 and 11 top sets but can easily be altered for different abilities. Recaps balancing equations with visuals and worked examples, leads the students to understanding that equations represent the numbers of moles in a reaction. Worked example of reacting mass calculations to determine the amount of materials needed to provide a product (business context). Questions with answers for students to attempt.
