This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Chemistry GCSE, particularly the ‘Organic Chemistry’ SoW. The lesson begins on a description of hydrocarbons and why crude oil is so useful, this is followed by a video on crude oil. Whilst watching the video students will be required to answer a set of questions, this work can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. The next part of the lesson requires students to watch a teacher demonstration of the distillation of crude oil, students will watch the teacher distill crude oil, removing at least four fractions. The fractions can be passed around the classroom and students will need to complete a results table to assess the smell, viscosity, colour and flammability of each fraction. Pupils will now focus on the structure of different alkanes, they will be introduced to the first four alkanes and be asked to think about why there is a pattern in the formulae of alkanes. Next, students will complete a summary table of the structural formulae, displayed formulae, 3D structure and boiling point of the first four alkanes in the homologous series. Students can self/peer assess their work using the answers provided. Finally, pupils will complete a ‘Quick Check’ task, which involves answering a set of questions about what they have learned this lesson. Those higher ability students may want to turn to the back of their books to avoid looking at notes, lower ability will need extra support. Again, the mark scheme for these questions is included in the PowerPoint. The plenary task requires pupils to write 3 facts, 3 key words and one questions to test their peers knowledge of what they have studied in class today. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Chemistry GCSE, particularly the 'Atomic Structure & Periodic Table' SoW. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This lesson begins with a recap on what was learnt last lesson, pupils will answer questions whilst watching a video about atoms, elements and chemical symbols. Next, pupils will be introduced to compound naming rules based upon the elements within that compound, pupils will then use these rules to complete a worksheet. Once finished the worksheet can be self-assessed using the answers provided. The next part of the lesson focuses on equations, pupils are firstly introduced to the idea of reactants and products of a chemical reaction. Given a worked example students look at how to write a word equation, once they have practise this they can complete their own word equations. This work can be self-assessed using the answers provided in the PowerPoint presentation. The final activity is an exam-style question, pupils should complete this on their own in silence and be given 7 minutes as it is 7 marks. Once finished they can self or peer-assess their work. The plenary activity is for students to write a twitter message about what they have learnt that lesson. The plenary task is a set of questions about what students have learnt that lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year 8 Science course, specifically the C2 1.2 unit on ‘Metals & Other Materials’. For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. The first task is for pupils to research, either using their phones or using laptops, the dates at which different metals were discovered. Once they have found the dates and filled in their table, they should consider the link between the reactivity of the metal and when it was discovered. After a class discussion of their ideas, students are introduced the idea of a metal ore. The next task is for pupils to watch a video and answer questions on metal extraction, the answers to which are included in the PowerPoint presentation so students are able to self-assess their work. The next part of the lesson focuses on how metals can be extracted from their ores, firstly students will be shown the position of carbon within the reactivity series. They will then be told that any metal below carbon in the reactivity series is able to be extracted from its oxide by a reaction with carbon. The general word equation for this reaction is shown to students, they can make a note of this in their books. They will then be asked to write down the complete word equations for the reactions of copper, iron and zinc with carbon. The mark scheme for this is provided on the PowerPoint presentation for students to mark and correct their work once complete. Lastly, students need to be able to work out the amount of metal present in an ore. A worked example of this calculation is shown to students, they can make a note of the steps when approaching a question of this sort in their books. They will be then given a worksheet of questions to answer which requires students to calculate the masses of useful metal found in metal ores, as well as the waste. The mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint so students can self or peer assess their work once it is complete. The plenary requires students to write a Whatsapp message to friends, explaining what they have learned this lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation.
