Edexcel CC11d Life Cycle Assessment and recycling. This introduces students to the life cycle assessment for various products including metals, paper and plastic.

Edexcel CC7c Properties of metals. This presentation explores the typical physical properties of metals and how the structure of metals explains these properties. A differentiated worksheet is included.

This is the UPDATED powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s for the AQA Entry Level Certificate in Science Component 4 - Chemistry in our world. I have included powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s for each part of this component suitable for low ability learners: Reactions of acids - neutralisation, metals and acids, investigating acids and carbonates Energy and rate of reaction - energy transfers, rate of reaction, monitoring rate of reaction Fuels and the atmosphere - development of the atmosphere, crude oil, fuels and combustion, air pollution, climate change Water for drinking - drinking water, investigating water

Edexcel CC10a Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate. This presentation gives students some background knowledge of the procedure, steps to carry out the procedure adn then some questions to ask in the analysis of their results. There is also a slide that summarises the key pints that can be printed off, laminated and put on display.

Edexcel CC8g Solubility. This powerpoint starts with a demo of lead nitrate and potassium iodide reacting together to give a bright yellow precipitate. I try and and make this a bit of a magic show! This then leads on to looking at the solubility rules and deciding which salts are soluble or not. After some practice of finding the precipitate, the students are then shown how to make an insoluble salt. The lesson finishes with an exit ticket which could be handed in so that the teacher can find out what students are still unsure of.

Edexcel CC8d Core Practical - Investigating Neutralisation. This powerpoint leads the students through the setting of the task, the method and hazards and risks associated with th practical. It ends with some questions commonly asked about the practical and the final slide is one I print off and laminate ande ither display around the classroom or allow students to use during the lesson.

Edexcel CC11b Metal ores and metal extraction. This powerpoint takes students through how the method of extraction of a metal is based upon the reactivity series. It includes information on 2 biological methods of extraction and also includes a differentiated worksheet.

Edexcel CC11a Reactivity. This powerpoint and differentiated worksheet looks at how we arrange metals in a reactivity series based upon reactions with water, acid and oxygen. It looks at displacement reactions and guides students to writing REDOX equations.

Edexcel CC4c Electronic configuations. This presentation explores the how to work out the configuration of an element and how it is related to its position in Periodic Table.

This is a series of 12 lessons for the first chemistry unit of AQA Chemistry Combined science. It includes powerpoints and differentiated worksheets for the following lessons: Atoms, elements and compounds Atomic mass Isotopes Writing Equations Mixtures Filtration and crystallisation Distillation Chromatography Electronic structure The early Periodic Table The Modern Periodic Table Groups and trends

Edexcel CC2 Methods of Separation. This is a series of powerpoints for the Chemistry Topic CC2 Methods of Separation. It includes the following lessons: CC2a Mixtures CC2b Filtration and Crystallisation CC2c Paper Chromatography CC2d Distillation CC2e Drinking Water It also includes the core prac - investigating inks

A stand alone presentation about writing word and symbol equations. This can be used during revision sessions or as part of topic Edexcel CC8 acids and bases. I have used it as a refresher at the start of year 11 too. The booklet that accompanies the presentation can be used in conjunction with the powerpoint or as a stand alone refresher/revision tool at any time during KS4. I often use it as a homework for year 11.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8eAlkalis and neutralisation. This powerpoint starts with a quick recap of previous lessons, followed by looking at neutralisation and what happens to the ions involved. Neutralisation in action is discussed and then students are guided through how to make a pure, dry soluble salt from alkalis using titrations. The plenary can be printed off and laminated to make a card sort if desired.

A powerpoint to help students through the CC8c Core practical - Preparing Copper sulfate crystals. This includes setting the task, a method for students to follow and relevant questions to ask following the practical. The last slide is one I print off and laminate as an aid for students to keep or it could go on a display of core practical in the lab.

Edexcel CC9a Mass and empirical formulae. This presentation guides students through relative atomic mass, relative formula mass and determining empirical formulae. A differentiated worksheet is included as well.

Edexcel CC4a Elements and the Early Periodic Table. This presentation explores the development of the early Periodic table how Mendeleev used his table to predict the properties of undiscovered elements. It also includes 2 differentiated worksheets.

Edexcel CC1 Chemistry States of Matter. This is the first lesson following Chemistry from Edexcel. 2 worksheets are included with this presentation. This presentation takes a brief look at identifying the 3 common states of matter, drawing particle diagrams, working out how to predict the state of matter based upon melting point and boiling point data and naming the processes involved in changing state. There is also the opportunity for a practical based on cooling curves.

Edexcel CC10 revision of electrolysis. This has a differentiated starter to cover the main points of electrolysis. It then has graded questions for the student to work through. This works well at the end of teaching this topic or as part of exam revision.
