Full Lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on fertilisers and the Haber process, including new material on different scales of ammonium sulphate production. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.
PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on flame tests, photometry and precipitation tests for positive ions. These resources can be used to deliver two lessons, one theory (with teacher demo) and one practical for students to embed the learning. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers.
If doing the optional second lesson (class practical) you will also need to download the free worksheet “SC25a-b Testing for Positive Ions” from my shop.
Full lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the differences between atoms and molecules, and elements and compounds, using the air e breathe as context. The lesson contains a range of independent and practical learning activities which can be mixed and matched as appropriate for your class.
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 independent learning tasks and suggested practical demo) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on alkenes. It also serves as a good introduction/reminder for the structures of the other homologous series that need to be taught (alkanes, alcohols and carboxylic acids).
The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Best taught at some point after my lesson SC20a "Crude Oil, Hydrocarbons and Alkanes".
This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the history of the Periodic Table; including how Mendeleev arranged his early version, how Mendeleev predicted the properties of unknown elements and how the modern version differs from Mendeleev’s.
The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE 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 (with suggested practical tasks) will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about catalysts and the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions. These are important topics 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 sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities aboutrecycling of metals, polymers, glass, paper and concrete. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. This also includes the overview and equipment list I use for the whole “Making Materials” topic.
PowerPoint (with suggested practical demo and equipment list) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on tests for negative ions. This also builds up to the Ion Tests Core Practical. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers.
This PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) will allow you to teach a range of abilities about catalysts and catalytic converters, including the new material on activation energy and enzymes.
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.
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.
These PowerPoints will allow you to teach students the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry required content on the reactions of acids with metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates. Two full lesson PowerPoints are provided:
Reactions of Acids
Introduces the key rules for acid reactions and deals primarily with word equations, though there are some opportunities for balanced equation practice in the final task.
Acid reactions and Balanced Equations
This lesson builds upon the rules learned in lesson 1, while recalling formulae and skills learned in previous lessons, so that students learn to write balanced equations for acid reactions with minimal provided.
A homework sheet (plus mark-scheme) is then included for students to practise what they learn across the two lessons.
The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.
Other GCSE lessons (including others from the Acids and Alkalis topic) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
