A lesson i created as an end of term activity for year 7 would be good for science clubs too, i used lemonade, cheap sweets you can buy 5 bags for £1 in Asda, food colouring and paper cups so they can taste their potion would be a fun english crossover lesson too as they design their own potion at the end. All resources needed are included in the powerpoint including an evaluation sheet and potion recipes

A simple results table i use to get pupils to compare 5 samples of powders 4 known and 1 unknown and see if they can guess what the unknown is, can be adapted for any powder, this one is simplified for pupils with SEN

a powerpoint with a simple description of atomic and formula mass

a set of premade cards with the elements written on them, with the rest of the information left blank for the pupils to fill in

I have used the level 3 - 5 science APP statements to make an Xbox achievment assessment for the pupils called science live. It works like the achievements on xbox pupils get the black and white sheet for their books then get the coloured stickers when they unlock the achievement it is an easy skill tracker and really hooks the pupils in small prizes can be given for every 200 points unlocked to link in to your schools reward policy.

if you drop raisins in lemonade they sink to the bottom, then float and then sink again. this sheet contains six theories that can be photocopied and then stuck around the room, i demonstrated the experiment and then got pupils to move to the theory they thought best described what happened and told them to be prepared to defend their ideas

a complete lesson reviewing atomic structure, reactivity and word equations for KS3 or low ability KS4. includes a progress check sheet that can be revisited throughout the lesson and the lesson plan I wrote to go with it

Powerpoint and worksheet where lego is used to model chemical equations

A co-operative learning starter activity where the pupils decide definitions for the keywords from a multiple choice list move to the area of the room corresponding to the answer, then they have to copy down the definition and when they have finished sit down with a partner and decide a memorable hook to remember the word by

Planning and activity book for alchemy module, I use this with year 7/8. Pupils start by looking at the core alchemical idea of the great work which is broken into four stages that they can draw pictures to describe. Then they look at the developing theory of the elements (I do flame tests here too), transmutation (changing one thing to another; I let pupils decide their own experiment to carry out so long as it is safe and involves a change), immortality and cosmetics, nuclear transmutation can be covered but I haven't planned it in yet, the big booklet may take some finishing or adapting.
