Edexcel CC4c Electronic configuations. This presentation explores the how to work out the configuration of an element and how it is related to its position in Periodic Table.

This is an introduction to electric current, charge, AC and DC and models that can explain current. It includes how to : Identify circuit symbols and draw circuit diagrams Describe electrical current and voltage Calculate current from electric charge and time Explain the difference between series and parallel circuits Explain the difference AC and DC

This is a powerpoint I use with my year 8 to familiarise them with the scientific method and analysing data and writing conclusions with evaluations. It sits nicely with my other powerpoint on maths in science for year 8 and results and graphs.

This short presentation explores the role that SMSC, British Values and Employability skills play in Science Education. It identifies areas within the Science curriculum where these can be further explored and developed for our learners.

This is a series of 10 question recall tests for use at the start or end of a lesson. This presentation includes quizzes on states of matter and mixtures. At the end of each quiz is a slide with just the questions on so that they can be printed off and handed out to students as a starter whilst you do the register. The presentation then goes through each questions with the answer so that students can self assess. Alternatively it can be done as a plenary and you can rapid fire targeted questions just using the presentation.

Edexcel CC10a Electrolysis. This presentation explores the apparatus sued in electrolysis and the terminology used. It explains why solid ionic substances can not conduct electricity and then takes higher students through the skill of writing half equations and using OILRIG to work out reduction and oxidation. IT also includes 3 differentiated worksheets.

This needs laminating back to back and hole punching at one end. It then present s the students with a simple flip book that shows all the key higher order thinking ( HOT) words linked to Blooms for students to challenge themselves and understand how to get to the next level in their work. I put a few on each table each lesson so that students got used to using them.

Edexcel CC5a Ionic Bonds. This presentation usually takes about 3 or 4 lessons depending upon how quickly the students grasp the concept. It is worth spending time ensuring full comprehension as this is one of the fundamentals in chemistry. It starts by looking at how ions form, then moves onto drawing ions and ionic bonding diagrams ( dot and cross diagrams) Finally it ends by looking at charges on ions and how they link to the position in the Periodic Table. 3 differentiated worksheets are also included with this bundle.

Edexcel CP10c Flemings left hand rule and the motor effect. This powerpoint start by recapping the basics of magnetism and then looks at how Flemings left hand rule determine the direction in which the wire moves. This is followed by calculating the size of the force using the equation F=Bx I x l and includes worked examples. It then moves onto looking at how motors work and the different parts in a motor and finally finishes with the opportunity to build a simple DC motor. There is plenty of opportunity for Afl within this lesson. The workmat also included allows students to work independent of their books as it has key points, learning outcomes and graded questions on it.

A powerpoint to help students through the CC8c Core practical - Preparing Copper sulfate crystals. This includes setting the task, a method for students to follow and relevant questions to ask following the practical. The last slide is one I print off and laminate as an aid for students to keep or it could go on a display of core practical in the lab.

This is the fifth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Investigations’ and allows students to undertake an investigation early in the year. I have included an investiagtion title page for Y7,8,9,10 and 11 ( please look in the notes section at the bottom of the powerpoint to find out which is most suitable) . I have not included many details of the investigations as the point is for the students to do this for themselves. This may take 2 lessons depending upon the ability of the students in the class. The presentation should be self explanatory . The next lesson is ‘Drawing graphs’
