A lesson aimed at new Y7 classes to familiarise them with a Bunsen burner. Includes a sequencing activity on how to turn on a Bunsen and a label the diagram activity. Ends with the students then following the sequence to safely turn, and alter the flame, to earn their Bunsen Burner license.

Revision lesson for Chemistry (Triple) Higher Tier Quantitative chemistry topic. Settling task - Retrieval grid 10 mins to fill from memory, then 10 mins in another colour to add in missing content from knowledge organiser/book/partner etc Main actvity - Calculations practice Ordered practice of all calculations in this topic, with a worked example for each. **UPDATE - Have now added the answers. Please do let me know if you spot any errors.

A workbook focusing on the key points of each chemistry required practical for the AQA Trilogy - Combined Science course. Focuses on: Labelling diagrams Writing a method Explaining the results Intended mostly as a revision summary at the end of the course.

An illustrated display consisting of 6 books and 6 TV series' that would give students a wider understanding (and hopefully some enthusiasm!) about science.

Starts with differentiated structure strips to help students through the reacting masses calculation using moles (GCSE Chemistry - Higher Tier) Orange strip - slightly more hints/support Blue strip - basic guidance through the calculation Then has examples for students try without the structure strip. Though step-by-step hints provided for any still struggling. Would then follow with an exam question from appropriate exam board and ask students to complete without any help.

Structure strips to help students answer common Structure & Bonding explain questions. This resource is aimed at lower ability but could be used to aid structuring exam questions for any ability.

Retrieval practice activity. Most useful as revision at the end of the topic as requires knowledge of all three bonding types. Each worksheet includes 5 pictures and the pupil must suggest how each picture links to the topic. Standard version are slightly easier to link to the topic (e.g. covalent bonding diagram for water). Hard version more conceptually challenging (e.g. pictures showing transfer, sharing etc)

A3 resource to help students visualise what is happening during the electrolysis of four different aqueous solutions (*AQA REQUIRED PRACTICAL). Splits the solutions into the anode and cathode. I tend to work through the first example on the visualiser in this order: 1 - Identify the four ions present in the solution 2 - Draw the two ions that would be attracted to the cathode in the cathode half, repeat for the anode. 3 - Use the rules printed at the top to then identify the product at each electrode. 4 - State the reason for each product (again using the rules at the top) Students can then try the other three examples on their own.

Resource designed to help students unpick how to answer comparison questions at GCSE. Starts by breaking down the question, including command words and key terminology. Then splits the answer “structure strip” style - I would usually model this under the visualiser. Students to then try applying the technique to two more examples.

Worksheet set out in the IDEAL structure to cover the titration required practical. Exam question for Link section is from exampro. I - Identify the equipment D - Describe the method E - Explain the method A - Analyse the results L - Link to exam question

Seven lesson topic covering the particle model (from the AQA Mastery style curriculum). Mainly aimed at Y7. Lesson 1 - Particle model introduction Lesson 2 - States of matter Lesson 3 - Melting and freezing Lesson 4 - Boiling and evaporation Lesson 5 - Condensation and sublimation Lesson 6 - Gas pressure and diffusion Lesson 7 - Particle model assessment and review Includes RAG document to use throughout and mini-assessment in the final lesson. Parts of resources taken from other lessons, some of which were found on TES.

Resource folds into an A5 booklet with the visual instructions on the front and the exam-style questions on the inside. Includes a scientific literacy section focusing on key words in the required practical. Would usually use as students completed the required practical but would also be useful to allow students to follow along during a demonstration (COVID appropriate!)

A3 Revision sheet on the basics (for foundation/low ability students) on the second half of the Chemistry Paper 1 exam. C4 - Quantitative chemistry/chemical calculations C5 - Chemical Changes C6 - Electrolysis C7 - Energy changes

Revision worksheet using a range of retrieval practice and thinking hard strategies (includes colour code/categorise, true or false, label the diagrams and odd one out). Useful revision summary that really requires pupils to think about what they have learnt rather than just repeat. Can also use the keyword quota activity to then assess pupils’ scientific literacy on the topic.

This project was designed as part of a Y9 SOW. The idea is that the project should take 4 - 6 lessons and will ensure that students recall and understand the basics needed to access GCSE. This is part of a series of 10 projects (all of which can be found in my shop) to cover all KS3 content before beginning GCSE.

Seven lesson topic covering separating mixtures (part of the Matter SOW from the new AQA Mastery style curriculum). Mainly aimed at Y7 level. Lesson 1 - Basic separating techniques Lesson 2 - Filtration (Third World Water Challenge) Lesson 3 - Solutions Lesson 4 - Solubility Lesson 5 - Distillation Lesson 6 - Chromatography (Who Shot Mr Burns) Lesson 7 - Separating mixtures assessment and review (Desert Island Challenge) Includes RAG document to use throughout and mini-assessment in the final lesson. Parts of resources taken from other lessons, some of which were found on TES.

Full 10 lesson Acids and Alkalis SOW. Aimed at a mixed ability Y7 set. Worksheets marked STR or SUP are differentiated (stretch and support). All lessons planned in 6-part lesson format. Lesson 1 - Acids and Alkalis intro Lesson 2 - Indicators and pH Lesson 3 - Red cabbage indicator Lesson 4 - Other natural indicators Lesson 5 - Neutralisation practical Lesson 6 - Neutralisation theory Lesson 7 - Writing chemical equations Lesson 8 - pH spies (main activity idea from another TES user) Lesson 9 - Acids and Alkalis reviews Optional additional lesson - pH graph skills Most resources my own though some resources may be adapted from other sources, including Activate and TES. Feedback appreciated.
