A summary of atomic structure and radiation in a easily accessible fashion. Used with a low ability group and printed on A3 paper

A presentation with resources to introduce the unit on chemistry of the atmosphere. The idea of the changes in the atmosphere over time are introduced and present composition is discussed. Activities and answers, where appropriate, are included. This is the first in the series of lessons for the AQA unit on chemistry of the atmosphere, but it can be taught as a stand alone lesson

A presentation to teach the importance of evolution of algae and plants and the part played by the oceans in the development of the atmosphere. This is lesson three in the chemistry of the atmosphere unit for AQA, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson. Activities with answers are provided on the presentation.

The second lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. The everyday uses of exothermic and endothermic reactions are discussed and I usually bring in examples of these for the pupils to see / touch. The presentation has several examples and also an extended written question to compare a single use hand warmer with a reusable one. The lesson is fully resourced and can be delivered as a stand alone lesson

Resources for several lessons on the Solar System with worksheets and quizzes. Suitable for KS3 pupils

A presentation and worksheet to take pupils through the idea that metals react differently with water and to relate the reactivity of metals to their tendency to form positive ions

A fully resourced lesson with practical and worksheet. Pupils are to deduce the reactivity of metals by comparison of their reactions in acid and link this to previous lessons on reactions of metals with water and oxygen.

A presentation with assessment questions and an embedded video to introduce pupils to the organic chemistry topic

The first 4 units of the Biology Paper 1 split into 12 sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

Revision clocks for 4 of the 5 units for chemistry paper 1. Each unit is split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

The first 4 units for the Physics Paper 1 split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

A presentation to go with a practical activity to guide pupils through writing balanced symbol equations and half equations in order to identify oxidised or reduced chemical species in a displacement reaction

A fully resourced lesson (potentially 2) to teach pupils through experiment and demo, how to test for oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and chlorine. A video is also linked to the presentation

An introductory lesson on organic chemistry. Pupils are reminded of separation techniques used to separate mixtures and the definition of a mixture before the idea of crude oil as a mixture that needs to be separated to make it useful is introduced

A presentation and worksheet guiding pupils through identification of the ions responsible for acidity and alkalinity and the ionic equations to describe the formation of water during neutralisation reactions. Neutralisation equations are also consider along with salt formation

A presentation to take students through the theory of density. The presentation also walks pupils through the techniques needed to calculate density for regular and irregular solids and liquids. An adapted version of the AQA required Practical worksheet has also been included. There is a set of differentiated questions on density calculations and theory to challenge students - the calculation answers are on the presentation.

Stoichiometry pathway to help pupils with calculations in chemistry. The presentation also covers the topic of molar gas volume.

Presentations and worksheets for 2 lessons. The first lesson introduces the concept of neutralisation for GCSE and how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. The second lesson is a practical on the preparation of a sample of a salt by the neutralisation of an acid with a suitable metal.

This lesson links to the new AQA physics / Trilogy GCSE. The resources give pupils the opportunity to use graphs to carry out data analysis and make conclusion from the data they find. The data is linked to domestic and global energy demands and the energy resources we use to provide these needs. One of the tasks includes a group activity where pupils need to present their findings. There is a starter to summarise environmental issues linked to use of fossil Fuels. The lesson also includes how fossil fuel and nuclear power stations generate electricity where pupils complete a sequencing activity.
