This full lesson PowerPoint is designed to teach Year 7 students about the names and uses of Scientific equipment, plus how they are drawn and labelled in scientific diagrams. This is the first in a series of three lessons I have planned which focus solely on teaching students about the basics of safe and accurate practical work. Visit my shop to find the other lessons in this series: Year 7 Measuring Skills Year 7 Bunsen Burners Plus a whole catalogue of other KS3 Science and KS4 Chemistry lessons.

Full Lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Dynamic Equilibrium. The resource is easy to follow for teachers and readily accessible for students. For Combined Science, Foundation students only need to cover the first two objectives; Higher tier candidates also need to learn about factors affecting the position of the equilibrium. Triple Science students also need to do the follow-up lesson (SC15b) on Factors affecting Equilibria. A clearer version of the worksheet can be downloaded from my shop in needed. Search for "GCSE Chemistry Haber Process worksheet to go with lesson CC12a SC12a “Dynamic Equilibrium”.

This full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about displacement reactions involving metals and metal compounds. This is an important topic at GCSE level so it’s a good idea to provide an early introduction during Key Stage 3. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical task) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the formation and structure of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. You will also need the free resource "8Hb_Investigating Crystal Formation" from my TES shop.

This full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical task) will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about simple explosions and the difference between chemical and physical changes. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full Lesson PowerPoint (including suggested practical activity) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on corrosion and rust prevention, including sacrificial protection. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about how and why ions form and how they bond to form new compounds. You will also need to download the FREE “SC5a Ionic Bonding worksheet” from my shop The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the benefits and limitations of different chemical bonding models. You will also need to download my freely available worksheet “SC7d_Chemical classification table and jumbled help sheet”. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

This full Lesson PowerPoint will allow to teach the Higher-only specification points on Electrolysis, focusing on oxidation and reduction at the anode and cathode in terms of loss and gain of electrons. The lesson also introduces the concept of half equations and provides practice at writing these. I deliver this lesson after first exploring the basic principles of electrolysis in my earlier lesson “Electrolysis (CC10a / SC10a)”. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, HIGHER TIER ONLY.

These PowerPoints will allow you to teach students how to calculate reacting masses (the mass of product made by a given mass of reactant and vice versa). Two PowerPoints are provided: Higher-tier lesson The PowerPoint (plus worksheet with exam-style practice questions) will allow you to teach Higher-tier only content on stoichiometry and then use this alongside numbers of moles to calculate reacting masses. Foundation-tier lesson Foundation students need to learn how calculate reacting masses but they do not need to learn how to calculate numbers of moles. The PowerPoint aimed at Foundation students revisits Relative Formula Mass and shows how to use this to approach Reacting Masses in a different way. It can also be used as backup for Higher students who struggle with Moles. The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes! Other lessons on Calculations involving Mass (including the preceding lesson on Moles) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

This PowerPoint (containing a worksheet) will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Electroplating (Triple Science Only). It also contains slides that provide essential background for the Core Practical involving Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate (CC10a). The Core Practical prep can be taught separately but I find it fits better alongside electroplating for Triple Science classes. **Be aware: this lesson works best if you have access to Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Chemistry textbooks. It’s not essential; other resources can be used and all information needed for students to complete the worksheets is found in the slides. However, if textbooks are available, the worksheet can be completed as an independent learning task. ** Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Electrolysis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

This full lesson PowerPoint will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Addition Polymerisation; in particular, how to draw addition polymers and show polymerisation equations. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. See my other resources for lessons on Uses, Properties and Problems with Polymers (SC24b and SC24d) and on Condensation Polymers (SC24c).

This worksheet can be used in a lesson to first teach students about the parts and flames of a Bunsen burner, then to test their ability to safely light and use one. There is a full lesson PowerPoint that can be used with this sheet; it is available to buy from my shop - OnSpecScience.
