Designed to match the new AQA specification. Delivered to Year 9 students. Introduces group 1 (alkali) metals and their reactions. Works well with a demo / controlled practical. Animated presentation to explain how outer electron relates to reactivity of the metals. Questions and model answers to lead students through equations and understanding reactions. Quick thinking task about the storage of metals. Ends with alternative plenaries, either content check or past paper question.

This was delivered to both top and bottom set year 7's. It allowed them to understand the formation of salts during the reactions of acids and alkali. Gives worked examples for naming salts during word equations. Can be tiered to making symbol equations for higher performing students. Worksheet included as a revision guide for all acid reactions.

This lesson is used to help students to understand the importance of safety in the lab. It introduces risk assessments and guides them through creating their own.

This resource allows the students to be introduced to the concepts of allotropes. It guides them through researching 4 different allotropes (diamond, nano-tubes, fullerene and graphite) to compare structure and properties. Each is followed by a guided explanation of each allotrope. For alternative method their is a guided worksheet provided that works excellently with lower ability students. The next material introduced is silicon dioxide and this is explained and compared to diamond to enable the students to develop their ability to compare and explain. Finishes with a past paper question and model answer. QR codes are provided leading to BBC bitesize.

(Updated) Designed for year 9 class. Easily adjusted to support all levels. This lesson enables the students to recall atomic structure and apply information to learn about isotopes. Visual guide to ion formation. Worksheet included for calculating subatomic particles with given data. Answer sheet included Introduction and practice questions for relative atomic mass based around Chlorine

Introduction to Acid and Alkali for KS3. Discusses the uses of acids and alkali with household examples. The properties of acids and alkalis Introduces the pH scale (best with teacher demo) For higher level students a task to identify relevant ions Worksheet attached for possible homework or application task

Leads the students through the development of the periodic table from Newland's to Mendeleev's. Links to YouTube video that explains Mendeleev's discovery. Differentiated questions to help students understanding. Final task introduces the students to trends and helps them to see first hand how the table is used.

Designed for a lower ability class but can be tailored for higher. This covers the fundamentals of electrolysis and defining the different terms. Past paper questions and answers included for stretch and challenge

Designed for year 7. Animated presentation to recap the students through creation of salts. Introduces concept of reacting acids with metals and assists them in naming the new salts formed. This lesson works well with a practical of the squeaky pop test. Leads to researching on the uses of salts (common salt, fertilisers and fireworks) Plenary is a high level past paper question. Animated guide to naming salts included scaffolding.

Used for an observation This was aimed for a top set class but can be easily tailored for lower ability students. Contains past paper exam style questions and answers. Also attached are differentiated sheets to assist students with understanding the different methods of cracking (thermal / steam and catalytic). Animations included to assist visual learners. Research task designed to increase comprehension skills.

Visual based lesson that introduces alkanes and how to identify them. Works well with a modelling lesson if possible. Designed to assist with numeracy. Covers the extraction of crude oil, the difference in naming of alkanes and the formula to define alkanes

Explanation of electrolysis, including introduction to copper sulphate practical Includes: Presentation, recapping on ions, explaining process and key phrases to help understanding of the process. Assessment based on past papers (with answers for teacher) Worksheet and diagram, can be easily tailored for higher ability. Any feedback is appreciated

Covers solutions, solutes, solvents and visually assists the understanding of dissolving Using a collection of resources, some from other TES users. Any issues please don't hesitate to contact me

Created using a mixture of resources (some TES some Boardworks) Please rate, really helps :)

An introduction into how we use the resources the Earth provides. (graphs provided by AQA Third Edition Chemistry) Covers defining 'finite' and 'renewable' Discusses how resources are obtained (can be altered for research task) Compares data to determine sustainability Group activity about the role of scientists in assisting agriculture and industry Includes printable tables and definitions to save time

One slide only Animated slide on naming salts. Found this really helped students of all abilities who were struggling with acid and alkali reactions. If you could leave a review it would be appreciated :)
