If doing the optional second lesson (class practical) you will also need to download the free worksheet “SC25a-b Testing for Positive Ions” from my shop.

Full lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the differences between atoms and molecules, and elements and compounds, using the air e breathe as context. The lesson contains a range of independent and practical learning activities which can be mixed and matched as appropriate for your class. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full Lesson PowerPoint (with independent learning tasks and suggested practical demo) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on alkenes. It also serves as a good introduction/reminder for the structures of the other homologous series that need to be taught (alkanes, alcohols and carboxylic acids). The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Best taught at some point after my lesson SC20a "Crude Oil, Hydrocarbons and Alkanes".

This full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about catalysts and the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions. These are important topics at GCSE level so it’s a good idea to provide an early introduction during Key Stage 3. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

This full lesson PowerPoint is designed to teach Year 7 students about the names and uses of Scientific equipment, plus how they are drawn and labelled in scientific diagrams. This is the first in a series of three lessons I have planned which focus solely on teaching students about the basics of safe and accurate practical work. Visit my shop to find the other lessons in this series: Year 7 Measuring Skills Year 7 Bunsen Burners Plus a whole catalogue of other KS3 Science and KS4 Chemistry lessons.

PowerPoint (with suggested practical demo and equipment list) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on tests for negative ions. This also builds up to the Ion Tests Core Practical. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers.

These PowerPoints will allow you to teach students how to calculate reacting masses (the mass of product made by a given mass of reactant and vice versa). Two PowerPoints are provided: Higher-tier lesson The PowerPoint (plus worksheet with exam-style practice questions) will allow you to teach Higher-tier only content on stoichiometry and then use this alongside numbers of moles to calculate reacting masses. Foundation-tier lesson Foundation students need to learn how calculate reacting masses but they do not need to learn how to calculate numbers of moles. The PowerPoint aimed at Foundation students revisits Relative Formula Mass and shows how to use this to approach Reacting Masses in a different way. It can also be used as backup for Higher students who struggle with Moles. The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes! Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including the preceding lesson on Moles) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

This PowerPoint will allow you to teach students the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry content on Making Salts by Acid-Alkali titration. Note This does not cover the Triple-only content on titration calculations or performing a titration as part of a Core Practical; that is covered in a separate lesson for the Quantitative Analysis topic. This lesson is simply about using titration to make salts from acids and solubles bases, in contrast to the methods used for making salts from acids and insoluble bases. The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers. Other GCSE lessons are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical task) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about sexual and asexual reproduction, with a focus on plants. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full Lesson PowerPoint (including suggested practical activity) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on the extraction of metals from their ores (also encompassing oxidation and reduction). This includes the new Higher-tier material on biological methods of extraction. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

Full Lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical activity) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Combustible Fuels and Pollution (focusing on sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and acid rain). The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.
