Edexcel 9-1 CC6a Covalent Compounds
TOPIC 1 KEY CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 and PAPER 2- NEW for SEPTEMBER 2017
This lesson was for my bottom set year 9's - they just could not understand covalent bonding therefore I took it to the next level.
I ordered 12 hula hoops (outer shells) and 48 airflow balls (electrons)
I dismantled the hula hoops so they could be taken apart and then put back together and the airflow balls could be added to the outer shells.
This is a step - by - step guided lesson.
IF hula hoops and airflow balls are not available this can be carried out on WHITEBOARDS so it can be used by everyone.
Edexcel CC6 Covalent bonding for the new 9-1 GCSE
Learning objectives:
To know how covalent bonds are formed
To be able to explain how a covalent bond is formed using dot and cross diagrams
To understand how to work out molecular formulae
All extension questions available on each slide
Answers all underneath each slide
Support also available where necessary
AfL sections and mini quizzes
Reducing the need for photocopying
Main topics include:
- Covalent compounds
- how they are formed
- working out molecular formulae
All relating to specification (any pictures used have all been taken from the internet and I am not trying to claim rights to any pictures or information used)

TOPIC 8 Fuels and Earth science PAPER 2- NEW for SEPTEMBER 2017
CC16b Fractional distillation of crude oil
L2 Fractional distillation
or lower ability
L2 and L3 Fractional distillation
For the lesson:
You will need to laminate the fractional distillation sheet, the cards to go with the sheet and you will also require some string (not provided). Instructions are contained at the bottom of each slide.
This lesson allows students to generate an A3 sheet for the properties (viscosity, boiling point, ignition and chain length) and the uses for each fraction.
Students will then require to complete and A4 sheet containing all of the information.
I have done this in 2's so students can complete the A3 sheet themselves OR if limited printing allowed I have made stations around the room for each property and allowed students to complete a market place activity to fill in the student sheet. Either works fine and also depends on ability
LESSON
To understand how crude oil is separated into useful fractions
To be able to explain the differences between each fraction
To explain a use for each fraction

AQA AS-level Chemistry 2015 specification for printing on dividers to give to students (CHECKLISTS)
AS specification
I printed the specification onto dividers and then handed them out to students - they can mark off when the content has been taught.
Students really liked the checklist - especially for when they are ill, absent, revision and in particular to separate out work when taught it in class.
I used different coloured card (dividers) to print it onto to help students identify different parts of the course.
All hand typed and required practicals are highlighted for easy viewing
Includes :
Organic Chemistry 1
Inorganic Chemistry 1

I have a Dymo label printer and here are a few ideas i use for feedback stickers in students books
If you don't have a label printer these can always be put onto sticker paper and printed off using a printer instead.
