This session is designed to be 100 minutes long but it is separated into two parts so would also be perfect for two 60 minute sessions Learners will; - Find out what the group 1 metals are - There reactions with water, chlorine and oxygen - Colours of the flame test - Reactivity - Properties of group 1 Please review Tip - you will need grilled cheese font to see the powerpoint as it should look like. I have attached a pdf

This session is designed to be about 100 minutes but can go on for longer depending on learners ability. Learners will; - Recap their knowledge of solids, liquids and gases from KS3 - Explore any substances that might not fit the model - Look at the changes of state (freezing, melting, boiling) - They will then experiment with different substances to see how different substances have different properties (e.g. conducting electricity and melting points) - Higher ability learners will go on to looking at models and how the model of a solid, liquid and a gas doesn't explain the properties This is a nice starting powerpoint to introduce ionic, covalent and metallic bonding. Please review this resource! Tip - Font needed - Grilled Cheese! I have included a pdf so you can see how much better it looks with this font.

Resistors - AQA 9-1 GCSE In this lesson learners will complete the required practical I-V Characteristics; Use circuit diagrams to construct appropriate circuits to investigate the I-V characteristics of a variety of circuit elements including a filament lamp, a diode and a resistor at constant temperature. They will also cover part of 6.1.2.4 Students should be able to explain that, for some resistors, the value of R remains constant but that in others it can change as the current changes. The current through an ohmic conductor (at a constant temperature) is directly proportional to the potential difference across the resistor. This means that the resistance remains constant as the current changes. The resistance of components such as lamps, diodes, thermistors and LDRs is not constant; it changes with the current through the component. The current through a diode flows in one direction only. The diode has a very high resistance in the reverse direction. The resistance of a filament lamp increases as the temperature of the filament increases. Please note - I use the font GRILLED CHEESE. I have added a PDF in case you don't have the font / want to see what it looks like

15 minute questions to help students organise their revision for paper 1 Biology AQA. If its popular I will create and upload for the other papers. Do let me know if you have any ideas for extra tasks I could put on these (especially for the last few topics!) Thanks

5.7.1.3 Properties of hydrocarbons Designed for 100 minute session with iPad. Font = grilled cheese. I have included a PDF of what it looks like with the font. Some properties of hydrocarbons depend on the size of their molecules, including boiling point, viscosity and flammability. These properties influence how hydrocarbons are used as fuels. Students should be able to recall how boiling point, viscosity and flammability change with increasing molecular size. The combustion of hydrocarbon fuels releases energy. During combustion, the carbon and hydrogen in the fuels are oxidised. The complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water. Students should be able to write balanced equations for the complete combustion of hydrocarbons with a given formula. Knowledge of trends in properties of hydrocarbons is limited to: • boiling points • viscosity • flammability.

This is based on a set of instructions I found from someone else (thank you!!!) and I used it to create a template for drawing covalent bonds. It could be cut out and stuck into books.

A fun lesson designed for children to work out the reactivity series themselves through some observations, demo and a practical. There are some challenging bits towards the end where you can discuss extracting metals. It covers the following from the national curriculum; Materials - the order of metals and carbon in the reactivity series - the use of carbon in obtaining metals from metal oxides This is a 100 minute lesson and uses a font called grilled cheese. I included a PDF so you can see what the font looks like

A secondary school assembly for British Science week for the 2023 theme CONNECTIONS. This resource contains a PPT and a script. You can do the assembly without the demos but they make it more exciting. The demos needed are; whoosh bottle, airzooka, paper cups & smoke machine and elephants toothpaste.

Learning objectives; Explain how increasing concentration can increase rate of reaction Describe and carry out the disappearing cross experiment Identify variables within the experiment Analyse data from the experiment

Learning objectives State the collision theory Carry out an experiment to identify whether a reaction is fast or slow Suggest why the rate of reaction slows over time Demos at the start - could be ironing fillings and bunsen burner, exploding custard, methane mumba… anything fun to capture their interest Discussion and then a practical. No graph work in this lesson

Learning objectives Draw a rate of reaction graph Calculate the rate of reaction using both an equation and a tangent Suggest why the rate of reaction slows over time This lesson focuses on calculations and graph drawing

Learning objectives Identify which substances have large and small surface areas Suggest how to increase surface area of a reaction Calculate surface area of different shapes Explain how surface area affects the rate of reaction After completing retrevial practice, start with a demo and discuss how you could make the chemical reaction go faster. Demo could be iron wool in bunsen burner and then iron fillings as its exciting! Discussion of surface area and some questions Practical involving rhubarb to investigate and check understanding

Learning objectives; Explain how increasing concentration can increase rate of reaction Describe and carry out the collecting gas experiment Identify variables within the experiment Analyse data from the experiment

This is a session designed to get learners thinking about what the solar system is and how we have changed our views over time on what the solar system is structured. - To start with they will go over the structure of the solar system and the teacher will draw a quick model of it on the board - Learners will discuss the geocentric model - Discuss with learners how we have had different theories throughout time. Which ones do we now know to be false, true or still just theories - Learners have an opportunity to explore a theory themselves (such as how the moon was formed and the big bang theory) and share this with the class. This is designed to be a 100 minute session with iPads used towards the end. I used the font Grilled Cheese and attached a PDF so you can see what the font looks like.

5.7.1.2 Fractional distillation and petrochemicals Designed for 100 minute session with iPad. Font = grilled cheese. I have included a PDF of what it looks like with the font. The many hydrocarbons in crude oil may be separated into fractions, each of which contains molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms, by fractional distillation. The fractions can be processed to produce fuels and feedstock for the petrochemical industry. Many of the fuels on which we depend for our modern lifestyle, such as petrol, diesel oil, kerosene, heavy fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gases, are produced from crude oil. Many useful materials on which modern life depends are produced by the petrochemical industry, such as solvents, lubricants, polymers, detergents. The vast array of natural and synthetic carbon compounds occur due to the ability of carbon atoms to form families of similar compounds. Students should be able to explain how fractional distillation works in terms of evaporation and condensation. Knowledge of the names of other specific fractions or fuels is not required.

This is the first lesson of our new AQA 9-1 Chemistry course. The students in our school will use iPads during this session to help them research but worksheets/textbooks could also work with this session. Students will; - Identify the difference between an atom, element and a compound - Be introduced to the periodic table - Identify the different elements in a compound - Describe how compounds can be made using a practical - Complete a progress sheet to show how much progress they have made They need periodic tables, equipment for making iron sulphate and molymod kits Please review!

This session is designed to be 100 minutes long but it is separated into two parts so would also be perfect for two 60 minute sessions Learners will; - Find out how ions are formed from losing or gaining electrons - Identify the pattern between the group number and the electrons lost / gained to help them remember it - Draw an ionic bond using a dot and cross diagram - Describe an ionic compound - Calculate the ionic formula Please review Tip - you will need grilled cheese font to see the powerpoint as it should look like.

A fun starter/plenary activity for learners. Go through the PowerPoint and learners will say what type of bond it is (ionic, covalent or metallic) and why. I have put in a couple of slides of James Bond to make them giggle. This worked really well when I covered a C10 revision class and we instantly started to develop a positive relationship. I used white boards and they wrote down what they thought the answer was in groups. Thanks!

A lesson that guides students on how to buy their first car. It gives a list of celebrities and their first cars (you could include your own!) Please note that the font I use is grilled cheese. I attached a PDF so you can see what it looks like with the font. Thanks
