In this activity plan you will find the SOC codes to import my quiz to your Socrative room. This is a great revision activity that you can use with the whole class as starters, plenaries, or to consolidate learning on 'making cars&'! If you are not familiar with Socrative, I explain the key steps of this great interactive teaching tool.

An opening lesson for AQA C1.1 or Edexcel C2.1, learning the structure of the atom, the subatomic particles, periodic table and electronic configuration.

Mendeleyeev's periodic table and the modern periodic table. I planned this for a medium ability group for a double period. Either print the worksheets directly from the powerpoint (1, 2 or 6 per page) or print from the included pdfs. Just start the lesson off with the settler, them amaze them with the curious life of Dimitri Ivanov Mendeleyev. inventor of the phrase 40% proof.

Pupils are given this guide to writing up practical investigations. They can tick off each section after they think they have answered it, identifying what they need to do for each mark. Includes all common sections of a write up including hypothesis, method, diagram, graph, results table, context, analysis and evaluation. The resultant marks are added up to give a pupil a sub level based upon the number of marks they have achieved. This works very well for independent working as well as peer and self assessment after they have finished. I also find it very useful myself when marking.

Includes full lesson with starter, plenary, timings and AFL. Look at the periodic table, subatomic particles, and electronic configuration. Use the PDFs to produce electron configuration whiteboards for immediate feedback from the whole class. Use the simple periodic tables and pupils can look up their own data for quickfire assessments. periodic table, electron shells, energy levels, assessment

Great little plenary chooser that your pupils will get used to fast. I recommend picking up a few D20 dice (10 for £3 on ebay) and giving one to each group. Then when you want to check understanding either at the end or part way through a lesson they roll the dice and do the corresponding activity. Pupils enjoy having a semblance of control but you still get the required plenary. If you want a more controlled experience have one pupil roll the dice and every pupil has to do that specific plenary. Digital dice rollers are also available online.
