Construct periodic table (showing Mendeleev Gaps)

(0)
Print element cards (4 per A4 page) Supply pupils with most element cards, except Te, I, Ge and Ga. Pupils must construct groups 1-8 (1-zero) of periodic table on their desk. Gap cards supplied with ‘?’ and group chemical properties. Answer cards for gaps to be printed separately by teacher and supplied to pupils who successfully construct groups showing gaps mendeleev left. (In reality, Mendeleev only left gapd for Ge and Ga and not for I and Te. However, the I-Te swtich is an important teaching point. Monitor whether pupils put Te first or I first, based on either atomic mass or proton number. Then teach about Mendeleev changing order)

Atom Ion Isotope True False Card Game

Cards to be printed. Does atom/ion symbol match the atom/ion diagram? (all diagrams are ‘accurate’, so pupils decide if symbol (mass, proton, overall charge) is correct. I suggest you play this as rounds in pairs with monopoly money.
Exothermic Endothermic Extentions

Exothermic Endothermic Extentions

(0)
THIS RESOURCE WILL NEED CHANGING BEFORE BEING USED IN A LESSON, TO MAKE IT MATCH THE CURRICULUM MORE. This is an extension lesson for those pupils very interested in exothermic and endothermic reactions. It includes the higher level Key Stage 4 energy curves. It includes thought-provoking ideas about exploding freezers due to flammable coolants.

Electron Configuration, Class Assessment

(0)
Two resources here; mixture of correct and deliberately incorrect electronic shell diagrams for first 20 elements of periodic table. Print in black/white, get pupils to mark in red pen, This reveals whether they grasp what is correct and incorrect (2:8:8:2 rule). Pupil name column for info on atomic and electronic structure. Pass around class during lessons, to collect pieces of information about how pupils are progressing.

Measurement Uncertainty (maths, mean, averages)

This lesson was designed based on current specifications from AQA GCSE chemistry. It is very effective to ask pupils to count the stairs on one side of the school before the lesson, and collect their varied results.
Concentration and Moles

Concentration and Moles

(0)
Here are two versions of powerpoints for lessons on Concentration. The examples will introduce pupils to calculating concentrations in both grams per Litre and Moles per Litre (litre same as 1000cm3, 1000ml, or 1dm3, exam spec prefers 1dm3, good practise for A Level KS5)
Balancing Equations, Conservation of Mass Practical

Balancing Equations, Conservation of Mass Practical

(0)
This is a double lesson resource. Lesson 1 : practise balancing equations. Slides have been proven to help key stage 4 pupils with this skill. Lesson 2: introduction to conservation of mass and loss of gas mass product. Practical with decomposition of Copper Carbonate.
Moles, introduction

Moles, introduction

(0)
These resources helped key stage four pupils grasp initial concepts of moles in higher level GCSE.

This is a useful document. Once one pupil has experienced been asked to write out several lines of this, the whole class will be eager to avoid being asked to do so. It is humerus and also includes many references to scientific content from GCSE curriculum such as atomic structure.
