A full unit of work from the KS3 Activate ‘Elements, atoms and compounds’ topic (from Activate 1, Chemistry, chapter 2), designed for a mixed ability year 7 class. This unit of work contains 4 full hour lessons. These lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, with frequent use of AFL as well as longer independent tasks. These should be suitable to be delivered by a teacher of any specialism. All answers and given on the slides to independent tasks. The lessons should be delivered in this sequence: Elements Atoms Compounds Chemical formulae Each of my lesson resources contains: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task

A full topic designed from the KS3 Activate curriculum from the “acids and alkalis” topic from Activate 1, Chemistry. This bundle includes five full 1-hour lessons. Each lesson is designed to be engaging and interactive, and contain plenty of guided demos and class practicals. All of the instructions are included as well as risk assessments. The lessons should be taught in this order: Acids and alkalis Indicators The pH scale Neutralisation Making salts All of my lesson resources contain: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task

An entire unit designed for a mixed ability year 10 class studying the AQA GCSE Chemistry topic of Electrolysis. This unit contains the following: Full 1 hour lesson introducing the process of electrolysis Full 1 hour lesson on electrolysis of molten ionic compounds (predicting the product at each electrode) Full 1 hour lesson on electrolysis of aqueous solutions (predicting the product at each electrode) Full 1 hour lesson on extracting aluminium using electrolysis Full1 hour lesson guiding the required practical on electrolysis, with worksheet provided Full 1 hour lesson on writing half equations for electrolysis Revision placemat for students to complete on electrolysis

This unit of work contains seven 1-hour lesson resources designed for a mixed ability year 7 class. This unit follows "Chapter 3 - Reactions” from Activate 1, Chemistry. However, it would be suitable for any KS3 curriculum studying chemistry. This unit of work is designed to be engaging and interactive, with plenty of practical demonstrations and teacher models. There are a couple of class practicals too which come with risk assessments and full, chunked instructions. The lessons are designed so that they can be delivered by any member of staff, regardless of whether chemistry is their specialism. They are also suitable for students working outside the classroom, e.g. in isolation. The lessons should be delivered in this order: Chemical reactions Word equations Oxidation reactions Decomposition reactions Using ratios Conservation of mass Endothermic and exothermic All of my lesson resources contain: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task

This unit of work contains seven 1-hour lesson resources designed for a mixed ability year 7 class. This unit follows "Chapter 1 - Particles and their behaviour” from Activate 1, Chemistry. However, it would be suitable for any KS3 curriculum studying particles, states of matter and changes of state. This unit of work is designed to be engaging and interactive, with plenty of practical demonstrations and teacher models. The lessons are designed so that they can be delivered by any member of staff, regardless of whether chemistry is their specialism. They are also suitable for students working outside the classroom, e.g. in isolation. The lessons should be delivered in this order: The particle model Density States of matter Melting and freezing Boiling More changes of state Diffusion All of my lesson resources contain: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task

A complete topic, containing six full 1-hour lessons based on the AQA GCSE Chemistry specification. Also suitable for the AQA GCSE Combined Science specification. These lessons were designed for a mixed ability year 10 class studying single science Chemistry. These lessons cover the specficiation points 4.4.3 Electrolysis from the unit 4.4 Chemical Changes. The lessons should be delivered in this order: Electrolysis introduction Electrolysis of molten ionic compounds Electrolysis of aqueous solutions Extracting aluminium using electrolysis Half equations in electrolysis Electrolysis required practical A revision placemat and knowledge organiser are also included. All of my lessons contain: A 5-in-5 retrieval-style starter An interesting lesson hook, careers link, or retrieval practice to start the lesson Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load Teacher models Regular ‘check for understanding’ slides, such as hand signals quizzes Regular student independent practice slides, with optional scaffolds, challenges and answer slides A plenary task

A series of 8 full 1-hour lessons designed as an introduction unit for year 7s in science. This resource includes the following lessons, which should be delivered in the order below: Lab safety Scientific apparatus Measuring Using Bunsen burners Writing a scientific method Drawing results tables Drawing line graphs Planning an investigation
