Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Chemistry! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about chemical reactions. Students will describe the characteristics of chemical reactions, explain why chemical reactions are useful, and compare chemical reactions to physical changes.
The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, quizzes and a class practical for students to complete. This resource is part of the Reactions topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for KS2 Science.
23 slides in total for the lesson PPT
KS3 new for the AQA Activate 2 unit ‘Reactions’.

PowerPoint presentation that covers the ideas of chemical and physical reactions, and the signs of a chemical reaction. Includes an 'odd one out' starter activity to check pupils understanding of reversible and irreversible reactions, with some suggested simple experiments to allow pupils to explore the changes that may happen during chemical reactions. Can easily be edited for use with different abilities.
Comprehension and additional task exercises pages 82 and 83 from Next Page Science KS3 Complete. Accompanying PowerPoint and word searches available for free from the website.
This exercise covers:
• A non-chemical example of what it means for one element to displace another using X, Y and Z

• A description of the classic displacing salts experiment: magnesium sulphate, zinc sulphate, iron sulphate and copper sulphate
• Chemical equations pictorially represented
• The results table for the experiment
• An exercise on ‘what displaces what’ using the reactivity series

It’s finally here, and I’m very proud of this resource pack!
I’ve held off on publishing until the quality was right, and now it’s finally ready to go live. The quality of the formatting/animation is second to none on TES. TES SAYS IT’S 14 FILES, IT’S NOT IT’S 61, MANY ARE IN A ZIP FOLDER!
I have now fixed the ZIP Folder issue, should download perfectly!
Lesson order is as follows:
4.4.1.1 - Metal oxides
4.4.1.2 - The reactivity series
4.4.1.2 - Displacement reactions

HOW THIS RESOURCE IS ORGANISED:
All powerpoints are uploaded directly so browsers can see snippets of each one. Then inside your download there is a zip folder, which contains all powerpoints, checklists, worksheets, homeworks and mark schemes neatly organised in folders. Any queries can be emailed to lewistull@gmail.com.
This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 C3 ’Reactions’ module.
For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience.
This lesson begins with an introduction to chemical reactions, students will read a paragraph of information on chemical reactions. Using the information students will answer a set of questions, this task can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided once complete.
Students will now watch a video about chemical reactions, they will need to write down as many things you might see/hear/feel during a chemical reaction. This work can the be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided on the PowerPoint presentation. Students will now summarise what they have learned so far by completing a ‘fill-in-the-blank’ task, this work can also be marked and corrected using the anwers provided
Students will now consider whether chemical reactions are useful or now, they will be given a list of different chemical reactions and they will need to sort these into two columns - useful or not useful. Students can then self-assess this task when it is complete.
Next, students will watch a video on the differences between chemical and physical changes. Whilst watching the video students will need to answer a set of questions, this work can self-assessed using the mark scheme provided.
The last task requires students to determine whether a set of examples are demonstrating a chemical or a physical change. They could complete this task as a class, using mini whiteboards.
The plenary task requires students to write three sentences to summarise what they have learned this lesson.
All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

This resource is a lesson based on Chemical reactions which will fit into a Chemical reaction. The lesson is fully differentiated and allows for students to be challenged if necessary, as individuals with a feedback box on the main slides.
Lesson objectives are as follows
- State that during chemical reactions atoms are rearranged in order for reactants to become products
- Describe what happens to atoms in chemical reactions
- Explain why chemical reactions are useful
- Compare chemical reactions to physical changes.
