I created this worksheet as a support sheet for students struggling with drawing the structure of ions in preparation for drawing ionic bonds. This worksheet is best printed off on A3 and works to walk students through the steps involved in determining the electronic configuration of elements first as atoms and then when they form ions. The layout is in a style that allows students to easily follow the process. Have used a similiar format in the past on calculation style questions in physics and students loved it!

Complete lesson and worksheet on Energy and Power with worked examples and calculations. Lesson will take between 1-2 lessons depending on ability of group. The lesson works through what is power, then on to changing between units with some practice questions before moving onto the Power equations and practicing using them to calculate energy, power and time. Questions increase in difficulty with more longer questions later on. All answers are included to allow students to self assess. The lesson then goes on to looking at how to calculate cost of electricity. Hope you like it. If so, please leave a review.

Complete lesson on Reflection, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well. Includes various tasks, a practical and discussion. All answers are provided on the slides so students can self/peer assess. There are differentiated tasks and questions. There is a practical requiring light ray boxes, mirrors and protractors for students to investigate what the Law of Reflection might be and to draw their own conclusions before revealing the Law to them. Included in this lesson pack is a Code breaker starter, instruction sheet for students to use as a checklist during the practical to encourage students to follow all instructions in a method, an investigation template for the lower ability students with the incident rays already drawn on and a differentiated worksheet with questions on Reflection and using the Law of Reflection.
