I am a Science Teacher with 25 years experience and love producing resources. As one of my HoD's remarked "Your lesson plans and resources are outstanding, if only you could teach as good as your resources." Chemistry is my main subject, but have an interest in Pedagogy, especially CASE (Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education) and misconceptions and how to overcome them.

Required Practicals for Home Use (Nine included)

10 Resources
This is a bundle of nine required practicals (or three for £2 see below) that can be done at home (with adult permission/supervision) for this time during whilst students are working from home (Chromatography, Density, Force and Extension, Specific Heat Capacity, Thermal Insulation, Waves, Field Investigations, Osmosis, Plant Response and Reaction Time). This is all the required practicals that can safely be done at home with household equipment. It includes all the necessary information, worksheets and powerpoints for students (all files are included in pdf format for easier home access). If you just want three that can be done at home, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/required-practical-for-home-use-12460999 For more information click on the resource.

Oxidation States and Complex half Equations Lesson AS

(0)
This is a full lesson covering Oxidations states for AS Level. It covers calculating the oxidation state of an element in a compound or ion from the formula; writing half-equations; identifying the oxidation and reduction processes in redox reactions and combining half-equations to give an overall redox equation. It also covers more complex half equations that include H+ (in acids) or transition metals. Included is: 40+ page Power Point with explanations and examples at each stage. 4 Sets of questions and answers (including exam style questions similar to ones from the AQA past papers) A sheet with diagrams (to save time) for students to make notes on A sheet of the oxidation state rules Answers in the Power Point and Word format to allow students to self assess or “correct” their answers. A free sheet of oxidation state rules are here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/oxidation-state-rules-with-examples-as-level-12412598 Other AS lessons are available: Ionisation energy:https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ionisation-energy-as-level-12412339 Electronic Structure:https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/electronic-structure-orbital-configuration-in-s-p-d-as-level-12405614 TOF Spectrometer and Isotope Calcuations: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mass-spectrometer-tof-and-isotope-calculations-12386980 For other resources (free and paid), please visit my shop here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please Comment if you have found this resource useful.

Electrical symbols and Building Circuits Lesson

Electrical symbols and Building Circuits Lesson

(0)
This lesson guides students through how to convert a circuit diagram of a series or parallel circuit into a built one. It starts with circuit symbols, then step by step it shows using photographs how circuits are built from diagrams. This resource contains: 40+ slide powerpoint with quizzes on symbols and plenary quiz on recognising series and parallel circuits along with photographs and instructions on how to build each circuit Worksheets with circuit diagrams and photographs Information sheet for learning the circuit symbols ( I designed this lesson because I and my students wasted a lot of time trying to build more complicated circuits to measure voltage and current-so hopefully time spent here will save time later in other lessons). I will be publishing more resources on electricity, but in the meantime, if you want a free animation on electricity to help click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/understanding-electricity-voltage-and-current-12450133 If you want a lesson on the main electrical models (with animations), click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/electrical-models-with-animations-12451806 For more free (and paid) resources, check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you for reading this far.
