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:

  1. Elements
  2. Atoms
  3. Compounds
  4. 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
