a simple worksheet/writing frame for a basic candle burning experiment

a simple cut out and sort or join up word matching exercise on acids and alkalis

a quite simple worksheet on group seven usefull for a lower ability set

a simple fire triangle starter sheet could be used with lower ability groups

simple hydrocarbon element cards that can be used with pupils to make simple hydrocarbons, good kinaesthetic activity for low ability pupils

a simple starter activity of a polluted city with a timeline for pupils to describe what the city is/was like now and in the past, a good thinking activity

a blank atomic structure sheet for using with pupils to explain electron structure

Top trumps of the elements.

a fun end of term activity where pupils choose a planet or moon from the star wars universe and complete a series of challenges based on their chosen planet or moon - all challenges are the same but the choice of planet can make the tasks easier or harder - my pupils loved this :) - all resources needed are included in the powerpoint i used moylmods and lego for the building challenges

a set of data tables to help with a lesson on elcetron structure or the periodic table

a simple results table that could be used for a lower ability class to test a range of household solutions for their pH

To get the pupils to learn atomic structure we made models of atoms using sweets if they make them on paper with clean hands they can eat them afterwards. We used white and milk chocolate buttons as the protons and neutrons and martians as the electrons with strawberry bootlaces to show the outer elcetron shells, the pupils understood the concept so well we went on to building atoms of oxygen and berylium as well to discuss how the shells fill up, a picture of their models is included and then we evaluated their models and the effectiveness of the model using the sheet attached
