The quiz is a great revision resource to promote students’ confidence prior to sitting the exam. The activity is suitable for both year 10 and year 11. It can be used as a classroom activity or an extended day

The lesson provides an overview for the negative ion tests. It enables students to complete practical work and use their knowledge of ion tests to determine the composition of compounds. Lesson objectives To describe the range of negative ion tests To recall the positive result for each test To identify compounds based on observations

KS3 lesson used to teach about metal ores and extracting them from the ground. Learning Objectives: Describe why metals are found as ores Explain the impact of extracting these ores from the ground Analyse the impact on humans of extracting ores from the ground

KS3 lesson on displacement reactions Learning Objectives: Describe how metals can displace other metals Explain what a displacement reaction is Predict the outcome of reactions

A selection of quizzes from the GCSE chemistry course. Each quiz can be printed as an A4 quiz for students

Two lessons, with one on Glass, ceramics and composites and another on rusting. Both differentiated throughout and exam questions included (with one scaffolded for support). The first lesson includes making different types of concrete by having different ratios of ingredients, with their strength to be tested at the beginning of the next lesson (rusting). Rusting lesson has an experiment to test the conditions needed for rusting to occur. Learning Objectives: Explain who ceramics are made Explain how different properties are related to their functions Compare the physical properties of glass, ceramics and composites Learning Objectives: Describe what rusting is and the factors that cause it to happen Explain how different methods can prevent rusting from occurring Justify why alloys are used

The resource contains a wide range of worksheets which will prepare students for year 1 or year 2 exams. There are sheets for many of the target functional groups and questions on multi stage syntheses

This lesson includes practical ideas and gives students the opportunity to evaluate each method of analysis Lesson objectives *To complete practical tests for metal ions *To interpret flame emission spectroscopy *To evaluate each method

New GCSE lesson on rates of reaction, looking at concentration, for the AQA exam board

This activity assists students in planning selected Chemistry required practicals. Each practical has an overview with an equipment list as well as a student work sheet with cues. Suitable for use with years 9-11.

New GCSE lesson on polluting gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels for the new AQA syllabus Learning Objectives: Describe the pollutants produced by combustion Explain the problems associated with each pollutant Discuss what can be done to reduce the carbon footprint of a country Analyse the social, economical and ethical results of the problems caused by pollutants

These sheets are to help students revise content from Chemistry Paper 1 (triology) that they need to know for the new GCSE specifications. They could be used with Year 10 or 11. Each sheet has differentiated questions. They could be used in lessons, for homework or in extended days for Year 11 students.

The lesson is an oveview of content. It involves a variety of activities to test understanding. The lesson is suitable for year 10 and year 11.
