(No answers) Summary sheet on separating and purifying substances. This was created for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE but could be adapted for other specifications.

3 tasks I set my Y7 and Y8 students for remote learning about the Rock Cycle. The students all drew the diagram of the rock cycle in their book. Higher ability annotated it with the clues AND added extra detail via the stretch questions, middle ability annotated without the stretch questions. I have included my attempt/modelling, which I attached to assist students with this task. Low ability drew a simpler diagram and copied & completed a gap fill (very low reading ages - some pre-reception). High and mid ability then wrote a story/created a storyboard to describe the journey of a piece of rock at point 1, all the way through the cycle to point 12. This was followed by a Kahoot challenge and an educake quiz. Rock Cycle Remote Learning 1 - higher ability Rock Cycle Remote Learning 2 - middle ability Rock Cycle Remote Learning 3 - lower ability I have attached them as both PPT and PDF in case students have difficulty opening PPT at home.

Basic lesson on calcluating relative atomic mass (Ar) for AQA GCSE Chemistry/Combined Science Quantitative Chemistry (Calculations) unit. I have not included correcting answers to the right amount of significant figures on slide 8 as I know some people may not want to discuss this yet, you can change them to the correct number of SF if you wish.

I created this workbook for my students when studying atomic structure (atoms, symbols, electronic structure/configuration, isotopes, relative atomic mass, history of the atom/atomic models, alpha scattering experiment, ions). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, and lots of practice questions. There is a section for students to write down key definitions (most of these are indicated clearly within the text). A revision sheet that goes with the booklet is also included. I hope they are useful for you!

Designed for AQA Trilogy/GCSE Chemistry but works for other specifications. Covers early atmosphere, greenhouse effect, human impacts, climate change & evidence, carbon footprint and atmospheric pollution.

Students watch the demo of group 1 metals reaction with water, writing down their observations, then write the equations for these reactions and answer questions on them. Stretch task of writing symbol equations.

Revision sheet for paper 2 content for AQA Trilogy Chemistry. This was designed for the advance exam information for the 2022 exams (higher) but works well as general revision.

Worksheet with scaled practice identifying species and writing ionic equations.

Students arrange the models of the atom into a timeline and add the statements that describe each model.

Activity in which students sort the statements into categories according to which type of reaction they are. Print out the slide of statements and they write them in the appropriate column. There is a pre-made table for students who this would benefit, and one slide where the statements are pre-coloured into categories - they just need to figure out which colour of statements apply to which reaction. There is also a differentiated gap fill activity for students who would struggle to access the sorting activity, and an answer sheet for this.

Worksheet on naming salts and the reactions of acids and metals.

Scaffolded worksheet on comparing the reactivity of 2 elements in the same group e.g. sodium and potassium. Sections on group 1 (and 2) and group 7 (and 6). Includes a diagram of relative atomic sizes for groups 1, 7 and 8. I have linked a video I made to help students with this task.

Electronic structure diagrams for the first 20 elements, up to and including Calcium. Feel free to use in any of your resources, either commercial or personal.

Practice questions for the AQA Chemistry calculations topic (relative formula mass, relative atomic mass, moles, reacting masses and limiting reactants)

A practice sheet for calculating percentage by mass, atom economy and percentage yield in GCSE Chemistry (Separate/Triple). Answers are included.

A table to help students work out the formulae of ions from different groups of the periodic table. Answers included.

Worksheet with info and questions on the Haber Process (answers included).

A team challenge I created for my Y9 group at the end of C1 and C2, to recap both topics and to finish off the year. You could also use it at the start/middle of Y10 to recap what they have already done from GCSE. The challenges include making a model atom out of copper wire and mini marshmallows and modelling halogen displacement using lego bricks - you may wish to change these activities if you don’t have the resources to hand. The image I used in the corridor was a C1/C2 summary sheet (from TES). All images on the Element Zoo sheet are CC0 (free for commercial use, no attribution required). Enjoy!

Sheet to be used with an information hunt/research activity on polymers.
