By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify fullerenes, monomers and polymers. Describe the structure of fullerenes and polymers. Explain the properties of fullerenes and why polymers can have different properties.

By the end of this lesson I will be able to: use the particle model to explain changes involving solids, liquids and gases. interpret data about changing states. I will be working scientifically to: interpret my data.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the main components of the early and late atmosphere. Describe how the atmosphere changed over the years. Explain why scientists believe the atmosphere changed in this way.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Recall the equation to calculate rate of reaction. Describe how to read a products made / time graph. Explain why the gradient of the line can change because of external factors. E.g. temperature rise.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what is meant by the rate of a reaction. Describe how to measure the rate of reaction. Explain why the method of using a mark at the bottom of a beaker is not a perfect way of measuring reaction rate.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify long and short chain hydrocarbons. Describe the process of cracking. Explain why companies would use cracking.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what’s meant by combustion. Describe complete and incomplete combustion. Explain why materials can combust completely and incompletely.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify substances that are soluble. Describe characteristics that make substances more likely to be soluble. Explain why some substances are soluble. Explain why filtering separates insoluble and soluble substances.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify some chemicals used to EXTRACT metals from ores. Describe the process of extraction of Iron-Oxide. Explain why Sodium requires a different extraction process when compared to Iron-Oxide. Explain why biological methods of extraction are being used more often at the current date.

A simple fun science remembering panel which can be used as an easy starter for any year group. Give the students 5 minutes to remember as many of the pairs as possible. Change to slide 3. Clicking the number tile will reveal what is underneath - to reset this if they incorrectly answer go back to slide 2.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify metals and acids. Describe what’s produced when metals and acids react. Explain how to test for Hydrogen. Suitable for KS3 - used personally for year 8.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify metals and Oxygen. Describe how metal reacts with Oxygen. Explain how to increase the speed of combustion. Suitable for KS3.

A simple and fun competitive snap game using scientific terminology matched with pictures. PPT can be presented to the entire class for a whole class session, or can be printed and cut for team games - there will always be a snap between 2 cards but the students need to find and identify the correct scientific key word. The students who calls out the key word first wins the round. Key words included are: Units, DNA, Bunsen burner, Tripod, Beaker, Gauze, Heat mat, Measuring cylinder, Safety glasses, Repeatability, Dissolving, Melt, Solidify, Evaporate, forceps, solid, Liquid, gas, reaction, reproductive system, microscope, pH, Periodic table, pipette, carbohydrate, fat, protein, test tube, lab coat, kinetic energy, sound energy, gravitational potential energy, atom, thermometer, cell, digestive, system, Electrical energy, circulatory system, electron, respiratory system, nervous system, litmus paper, skeleton, photosynthesis, light energy. Excellent as a settling activity or starter / interim activity.

A self-explanatory lesson detailing the rock cycle. Scaffolded questions and various question styles mean all learners will be able to access the work. Filler tasks are available at the end of the PPT.
