Edexcel CC8f Reactions of acids with metals and carbonates. This powerpoint starts by looking at the tests for hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It then looks at how metals react with acids and how metal carbonates react with acids discussing what products are formed in each case. It then guides the students slowly through writing ionic equations step by step, mentioning spectator ions and half equations.

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.

This is the second lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Meet the Equipment’ and introduces common equipment in a Science lab, how to draw them and discusses choosing the right equipment for the job. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a worksheet to go with the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Using the Bunsen Burner’.

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.

A stand alone resource that I have used for revision of ionic bonding. It guides students how to write the name of ionic compounds, how to draw ionic bonding diagrams and how to write the formulae of ionic compounds. There are 3 opportunities in the presentation for students to practice what has been taught so that any misconceptions can be addressed immediately.

This is the fourth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Visiting Variables’ and guides students how to identify independent, dependent and control variables in different scenario’s. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a series of 4 slides that I print out and laminate to hand out as part of the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Investigations’

Edexcel CC9b Conservation of mass. This presentation allows students to practice calculating the concentration of solutions as well as guiding them through calculating reacting masses. 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.

This is a powerpoint I use for my year 8 to familiarise them with how to record results, draw tables, make sure results are reliable and then drawing the correct graphs. This sits nicely alongside my other powerpoints on Year 8 maths in science and Year 8 The scientific method.

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.

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

This is a series of 9 lessons that cover the AQA C2 Chemistry topic Structure and Bonding. It includes powerpoints and worksheets for the following lessons: Ionic Bonding Ionic Lattices Covalent Bonding Metallic Bonding States of matter Properties of ionic compounds Polymers Alloys Carbon structures

This is a series of 10 question recall tests for use at the start or end of a lesson. This presentation includes quizzes on vector and scalar quantities, distance time graphs, acceleration and velocity time graphs. At the end of each quiz is a slide with just the questions on so that they can be printed off and handed out to students as a starter whilst you do the register. The presentation then goes through each questions with the answer so that students can self assess. Alternatively it can be done as a plenary and you can rapid fire targeted questions just using the presentation

Edexcel CC10a Electrolysis. This presentation explores the apparatus sued in electrolysis and the terminology used. It explains why solid ionic substances can not conduct electricity and then takes higher students through the skill of writing half equations and using OILRIG to work out reduction and oxidation. IT also includes 3 differentiated worksheets.

Edexcel CC5b Ionic Lattices. This starts by looking at what ionic lattices are, then moves onto how to write the names of ionic compounds and how to write their formulae using the cross over method. 2 differentiated worksheets are also included . I usually follow this lesson with a lesson on writing word and symbol equations ( see my other powerpoint)
