This resource is a lesson plan for junior science (year 9, KS3, 8th grade) which introduces the concept of conductors and insulators. The 1 hour lesson consists of a power presentation outlining key concepts, a learning activity and an experiment on conduction.

This resource is a lesson plan for junior science (year 9, KS3, 8th grade) which introduces the concept of the generation of electricity The 1 hour lesson consists of a power presentation outlining key concepts, a learning activity and assessment of learning including non-renewable and renewable resources.

This activity develops students understanding of balancing charges in ionic salts. The students print out the activity, cut out the shapes and the recombine to determine the formulae of different ionic salts by balancing charge and making sure jigsaw is correct. Designed for KS3 and KS4 Science.

This quick introduction allows students to understand the concept of dynamic equilibrium includes an animation to explain the concept.

This activity summarises the effect of varying different conditions on the rate of a chemical reaction. The activity has three tasks firstly, filling in missing words to complete summary sentences. Secondly, completing sketch graphs of changing conditions on creation of products and finally, a jig saw exercise of what and why changing certain reaction conditions changes the rate of reaction.

This A-level powerpoint presentation outlines how the atomic radii of the elements change across the periods and down the groups and discuss the reasons and justifications for these trends.

This lesson is in the form of a presentation outlining how students can create Lewis dot cross diagrams to determine chemical bonding in simple compounds. The presentation also includes student activities to test understanding.

This lesson involves using angry birds as a context to develop understanding of projectile motion and the affect of gravity on objects. The lesson is in 3 parts: Part one is notes and questions to test student understanding of projectile motion including breaking down the horizontal and vertical components of this motion. Part two then introduces the concept of gravity acting on an object and how mass and distance from objects changes the force of gravity. Part three is an activity where students apply their knowledge of projectile motion to design a new angry bird.

This lesson describes in the form of an introduction presentation what a catalyst is and how it performs its function by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Designed for KS4 Chemistry.

This lesson involves students examining the process of gas exchange through a digital presentation followed by an assessment task in the form of an exit card. The lesson is in the form of a Microsoft Office Sway presentation outlining learning objectives, diagrams and a short video. The presentation can be accessed below: https://sway.office.com/oSEdgW9sCCACrkmQ?ref=Link

The presentation is to be done over two lessons. The first lesson goes over lab safety with an activity involving finding potential dangers in the lab. The next lesson involves the use of a bunsen burner to test for metals. The latter lesson involves students getting a bunsen burner drivers license by following safety steps. Once attained they test solid salt samples by the flame test. The other activity includes labelling the bunsen burner and using terms in sentences to reinforce learning. The learning objectives for both lessons are outlined in the presentation.

This is a useful revision resource around forces and Newtons equations of motion. The activity consists of students cutting out and creating a series of cards. The students then work in groups of 3 - 4 to attempt to compete the task set on the cards. The fastest group wins. The task is 'I have, who has' Each card has a definition (I have) and also a question (who has) one student reads out a question (who has) and other students respond with the answer (I have) based on what cards they have in front of them. If the answer is correct then they read out the question on their card. The game is completed when all definitions are answered by the group.

This activity is divided into 4 parts each activity involved one of the components of rates of reactions - size, concentration, temperature and catalysts. The activity involves graphing data and then explaining the plot using rates of reaction theory. Students graph data and then apply this information to collision theory to explain observed data. The activity also includes hint sheets to assist students.

This resource is designed to practise graphing skills and data analysis around chemistry rates of reactions. Also designed to develop student understanding of results obtained using collision theory. The exercise consists of activities where students develop understanding of the 4 different ways to change rates of reaction - concentration, temperature, catalysts and surface area.

This activity is similar to dominoes, just this time with 3 sides! The students cut out the trionimoes and try and build shapes by match sides to each other. The game has three levels of difficulty depending on the level of students. Questions are based on atomic structure and bonding as well as the periodic table

Excellent revision tool for rates of reaction. In pairs, students cut out both sides of the cards and glue them together. Then as one asks the question the other tries to answer it. If you get an answer right, you keep the card. The one with the most cards wins! Designed for KS4 Chemistry.

This task can be designed as an assessment or set as a task in class. The activity involves students determining the phase changes of water by correctly placing image in the right order. The activity can be extended by students developing a video using digital devices on what happens during phase changes with the activity as a prompt.

An introductory powerpoint presentation on cells. The presentation illustrates the concepts of different cell types (animal and plant). Additionally, the presentation discusses specialised cells. Finally, the presentation includes student activities to ensure students have grasped the material and reinforce learning. The activities include a research task of linking the shape of a cell to its function and differentiating between animal and plant cells. Determine the difference between animal and plant cells. Describe how cells are adapted to their function.

5 tasks the form of an assignment consisting of a series of questions designed to test student understanding of atomic structure and how the periodic table is designed. Developed to investigate the first 20 elements and linking their atomic structure to the properties of these elements. Describe how the properties of the first 20 elements link to their position on the periodic table.
