A worksheet to help pupils design/plan their own experiment/investigation. Some pupils still struggle with the intention of science experiments and each aspect required to carry out a successful experiment. The worksheet which is the same format as the experiment planning sheet poses each aspect as a question for pupils to really think what each aspect is about. This can be used as sheet to complete with a guided experiment allowing pupils to understand what each part of planned experiment is about or it can be used as a guide to help a pupil design an experiment (with some guidance of course)

A simple poster to highlight key flame tests to identify different metals.

Experiment planning sheets to provide a structure for pupils to complete. Helps prepare pupils for science coursework also. Recommend on printing settings to print '2 pages per sheet' to produce a single sheet per pupil View other resources for complete GCSE Physics lessons. https://www.tes.com/member/Nteach

A collection of 50 cool Science GIF images (short animations) showing various interesting science principles across Physics, Chemistry & Biology. Can use as starters or plenaries to discuss....or simply because they look really interesting. (Apologies, previous uploaded in error. Now all with titles of experiment in GIF)

New GCSE lesson on Ionic bonding Lesson Objectives: 1) Recap ion formation 2) Describe ionic bonding. 3) Explain how elements form ionic bonds. 4) Draw dot and cross diagrams. 5) Use the periodic table to find how different elements form ionic bonds. Lesson updated as promised to version 2 - 05/09/16 More Chemistry lessons to follow on Nteach

New GCSE Chemistry lesson on Covalent bonding Lesson starts with simple starter looking at different ways things are bonded together which allows discussion of hoe bonds vary in strength. Following a quick review goes over key content on ionic bonding. The need for atoms to become chemically stable by gaining a full outer shell of electrons is introduced with illustrations of this. Different types of bonding are contrasted with picture representations to allow for comparisons to be made. Covalent bonding is introduced by breaking down an explaining the words with key definitions behind these. Atoms numbers are reviewed and linked to electrons in outer shell. Chlorine is provided as an example of dot and cross diagram for covalent boding. Properties of covalent bonds are also reviewed. Students are prompted to draw dot and cross diagrams for a variety of key substances. Lesson Objectives: 1) Describe how covalent bonds are formed. 2) Recognise covalent compounds from their formula, name or bonding diagram. 3) Draw dot and cross diagrams/ball and stick diagrams for familiar molecules. 4) Suggest how properties vary for double covalent bonds and single covalent bonds. Additions to lesson made with worksheet as promised: 06/09/16 Further updates to follow More chemistry lessons to be listed on Nteach soon.
