Edexcel CC7b Allotropes of carbon. This presentation explores some giant molecular structures including diamond, graphite. fullerenes and graphene. It uses the structure to explain the properties and compare them.

Edexcel CC11c Oxidation and Reduction. This powerpoint introduces students to oxidation and reduction both in terms of oxygen and electrons. A differentiated worksheet is included to practice this skill.

Edexcel CC8f Reactions of acids with metals and carbonates. This powerpoint starts by looking at the tests for hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It then looks at how metals react with acids and how metal carbonates react with acids discussing what products are formed in each case. It then guides the students slowly through writing ionic equations step by step, mentioning spectator ions and half equations.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8b Looking at acids - higher students. This powerpoint starts with practice at converting between cm3 and dm3 and vice versa. (Maths skills - converting units) It looks at the difference between strong and weak acids and concentrated and dilute acids. It also discusses the ions in solution and how they relate to pH. (Maths skill - factors)

Edexcel Combined Science CC8c Bases and Salts. This powerpoint starts by looking at naming salts made from metal oxides and acids. It explains what happens to the ions during salt formation and then guides students as to how to make a soluble salt in preparation for the core practical next lesson.

Edexcel CC11d Life Cycle Assessment and recycling. This introduces students to the life cycle assessment for various products including metals, paper and plastic.

Edexcel CC7c Properties of metals. This presentation explores the typical physical properties of metals and how the structure of metals explains these properties. A differentiated worksheet is included.

This is the UPDATED powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s for the AQA Entry Level Certificate in Science Component 4 - Chemistry in our world. I have included powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s for each part of this component suitable for low ability learners: Reactions of acids - neutralisation, metals and acids, investigating acids and carbonates Energy and rate of reaction - energy transfers, rate of reaction, monitoring rate of reaction Fuels and the atmosphere - development of the atmosphere, crude oil, fuels and combustion, air pollution, climate change Water for drinking - drinking water, investigating water

Edexcel CC10a Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate. This presentation gives students some background knowledge of the procedure, steps to carry out the procedure adn then some questions to ask in the analysis of their results. There is also a slide that summarises the key pints that can be printed off, laminated and put on display.

Edexcel CC8g Solubility. This powerpoint starts with a demo of lead nitrate and potassium iodide reacting together to give a bright yellow precipitate. I try and and make this a bit of a magic show! This then leads on to looking at the solubility rules and deciding which salts are soluble or not. After some practice of finding the precipitate, the students are then shown how to make an insoluble salt. The lesson finishes with an exit ticket which could be handed in so that the teacher can find out what students are still unsure of.

Edexcel CC8d Core Practical - Investigating Neutralisation. This powerpoint leads the students through the setting of the task, the method and hazards and risks associated with th practical. It ends with some questions commonly asked about the practical and the final slide is one I print off and laminate ande ither display around the classroom or allow students to use during the lesson.

This is the sixth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Drawing graphs’ and allows students to learn how to draw graphs accurately. Depending upon whether students managed to get results from last lessons investigation you may want to extend this lesson further by getting them to draw graphs of their own results. The presentation should be self explanatory

This is the second lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Meet the Equipment’ and introduces common equipment in a Science lab, how to draw them and discusses choosing the right equipment for the job. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a worksheet to go with the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Using the Bunsen Burner’.

Edexcel CC11b Metal ores and metal extraction. This powerpoint takes students through how the method of extraction of a metal is based upon the reactivity series. It includes information on 2 biological methods of extraction and also includes a differentiated worksheet.

This is a light hearted look at achieving a healthy work life balance in that first year of teaching or in that training year. It is somethign I use when meeting my new ITE trainees for the first time and I will visit it half way through their placements so that they dont get too bogged down and despondant!

A powerpoint I used with year 12 students that I made using 2 other powerpoints from the TES ( thank you!) It provides last minute revision for a final hour lesson on enthalpy changes,

A powerpoint and lesson plan for introducing oxidation numbers to year 12 chemistry students.
