A lesson very similar to my lesson on alkali metals. This time for the halogens.
Goes through the properties of the halogens, the reactivity and explains why this is the case. There are opportunities for AFL throughout.
This is a revision lesson for the new 9-1 GCSE chemistry course.
The aim of the lesson is for all students to go through the 13 specification points and write down what they know about them. Once this is done, students will colour in the first circle red or green (depending on their understanding).
They then go to the 13 stations around the room and take a small worksheet for each one they put red for (maximum of 8). This is stuck onto the A3 paper. After the lesson they put red or green in the second circle.
The revision sheets need to be on A3 paper in order to allow the sheets to be stuck on.
Each sheet will need to be placed at a station where there is a resource to help the students. These are numbered so question 1 is resource 1.
I have found this lesson to be extremely effective.
Whole lesson on dynamic equilibrium. It includes a lot of theory and many exam questions (with answers).
It goes through concentration, temperature and pressure in a way students can understand.
This lesson can be easily adapted for GCSE classes too.
A whole lesson on atomic number and the periodic table.
It includes:
- A recap on Mendeleev.
- Many tasks to assess AFL.
- An optional practical.
- A progress check.
- A summary quiz.
A WWTBAM game on PowerPoint which is done based upon Chemistry. It would be best suited to A Level but could be used for other years.
All of the instructions are in the notes section of the first two slides.
It can be used for anything (not just Chemistry or Science, just changed the questions).
A formative test on ionic compounds (interactive with answers)
It includes:
- 10 questions on naming ionic compounds from their elements.
- 10 questions on asking whether a compound is ionic or not.
- 10 Questions on naming the elements within an ionic compound.
All of these have answers.
There is also a summary table, asking whether different compounds are ionic or not.
Also a progress check which is pictured.
A highly rated lesson.
