This resource is broken up into 2 parts. These 2 parts covers many of the important models of the atom. From Democritus and Dalton to Thomson and Rutherford. Part 1 includes 31 slides that covers the early models of the atom. This includes Democritus, Aristotle, and John Dalton and Dalton's atomic theory. An interactive quiz to review the topic is included at the end of the lesson. Part 2 is a highly visual 57-slide powerpoint. These activities engages learners to rediscover JJ Thomson's cathode ray tube experiment and visualise the "plum pudding" model of the atom. The second half details Rutherford's gold foil experiment and the discovery of the nucleus. A crossword puzzle and summary sheet to revise both Part 1 and Part 2 are also provided. I hope you find these lessons useful. Please rate and comment. Thank you.

This resource includes a highly visual 34-slide PowerPoint presentation, scaffolded notes for pupils, and a worksheet. In this resource, pupils will learn... 1) to compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties 2) to recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter 3) the rock cycle and the formation of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks 4) to understand how cooling and solidifying of magma results in formation of igneous rocks. 
 5) to understand that sedimentary rocks are made by processes which include the deposition of rock fragments or organic material, or as a result of evaporation. 
 6) to understand how rock fragments are transported by flowing water or wind, and how grain size affects transport and settling of sediment; understand how landscape can be eroded. 
 7) to understand that metamorphic rocks are formed by action of heat and pressure on existing rocks. 
 8) to understand the meaning of the term ‘mineral’. 
 9) to know how forces generated by expansion, contraction and the freezing of water can lead to the physical weathering of rocks. 
 10) to know the different layers of a soil profile I hope you find this resource helpful.

This resource includes a highly visual PowerPoint presentation (over 90 slides!) on the topic of ENERGY, forms of energy, energy transformations and energy diagrams. The presentation uses many visual aids and is thoughtfully animated to promote participation from learners of all abilities. Two worksheets and sample exam questions (71 questions with ANSWERS!)) are also included. Appropriate for year 7 or year 8 pupils. Students will learn: 1. that energy is the capacity or ability to do work (the ability to make matter change) 2. that generally, there are 2 types of energy: potential energy and kinetic energy 3. that there are many forms of potential and kinetic energy including: thermal energy (heat), electromagnetic energy (radiated), sound energy, gravitational potential energy (GPE), elastic potential, nuclear, chemical energy and electrical energy. 4. that gravitational energy depends on an object's mass and height above the earth's surface 5. that kinetic energy depends on an object's mass and how fast it is moving 6. that energy is transformed from one form to another 7. that a fuel is stored energy, which must be burnt to release the energy 8. Fuel + Oxygen = Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water + Waste Product 9. that most of the Earth's energy ultimately comes from the Sun 10. that energy sources can be described as either renewable or Non-renewable 11. that Renewable means can be used again or replaced within a Iifetime 12. some advantages and disadvantages of energy sources 13. the need for energy saving with non-renewable energy sources and ultimately with all energy sources 14. to construct an energy transfer diagram 15. to construct a Sankey diagram 16. that energy is conserved in an energy transformation I hope you find this resource useful. Cheers.

A fun activity for children learning about physical and chemical changes.

This 33-slide PowerPoint presentation introduces students to the concept of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. It also includes a worksheet in which students can take notes and practice the skills learned during the lesson. • First, students will review what happens when a liquid freezes and when it boils. • Then, a discussion about how adding a nonvolatile solute would affect the freezing and boiling process. • Molality will be introduced followed by practice problems. • The freezing point depression and boiling point elevation formulas will be introduced with examples for students to work out. • Finally, a practical investigation to work out the molar mass of an unknown solute by using freezing point depression will be outlined with an example calculation. (This lab activity is available in a separate resource). I hope you find this useful.
