This session is designed to be 100 minutes long but it is separated into two parts so would also be perfect for two 60 minute sessions<br /> <br /> Learners will;<br /> - Find out what the group 1 metals are<br /> - There reactions with water, chlorine and oxygen<br /> - Colours of the flame test<br /> - Reactivity<br /> - Properties of group 1<br /> <br /> Please review<br /> <br /> Tip - you will need grilled cheese font to see the powerpoint as it should look like. I have attached a pdf

This session is designed to be about 100 minutes but can go on for longer depending on learners ability.<br /> <br /> Learners will;<br /> <br /> - Recap their knowledge of solids, liquids and gases from KS3<br /> - Explore any substances that might not fit the model<br /> - Look at the changes of state (freezing, melting, boiling)<br /> - They will then experiment with different substances to see how different substances have different properties (e.g. conducting electricity and melting points)<br /> - Higher ability learners will go on to looking at models and how the model of a solid, liquid and a gas doesn't explain the properties<br /> <br /> This is a nice starting powerpoint to introduce ionic, covalent and metallic bonding.<br /> <br /> Please review this resource!<br /> <br /> Tip - Font needed - Grilled Cheese! I have included a pdf so you can see how much better it looks with this font.

Resistors - AQA 9-1 GCSE<br /> <br /> In this lesson learners will complete the required practical I-V Characteristics;<br /> <br /> Use circuit diagrams to construct appropriate circuits to investigate the I-V characteristics of a variety of circuit elements including a filament lamp, a diode and a resistor at constant temperature.<br /> <br /> They will also cover part of 6.1.2.4<br /> <br /> Students should be able to explain that, for some resistors, the value of R remains constant but that in others it can change as the current changes.<br /> <br /> The current through an ohmic conductor (at a constant temperature) is directly proportional to the potential difference across the resistor. This means that the resistance remains constant as the current changes.<br /> <br /> The resistance of components such as lamps, diodes, thermistors and LDRs is not constant; it changes with the current through the component.<br /> <br /> The current through a diode flows in one direction only. The diode has a very high resistance in the reverse direction.<br /> <br /> The resistance of a filament lamp increases as the temperature of the filament increases.<br /> <br /> Please note - I use the font GRILLED CHEESE. I have added a PDF in case you don't have the font / want to see what it looks like

<p>15 minute questions to help students organise their revision for paper 1 Biology AQA. If its popular I will create and upload for the other papers.</p> <p>Do let me know if you have any ideas for extra tasks I could put on these (especially for the last few topics!)</p> <p>Thanks</p>

5.7.1.3 Properties of hydrocarbons<br /> <br /> Designed for 100 minute session with iPad. <br /> Font = grilled cheese. I have included a PDF of what it looks like with the font.<br /> <br /> Some properties of hydrocarbons depend on the size of their molecules, including boiling point, viscosity and flammability. <br /> These properties influence how hydrocarbons are used as fuels.<br /> Students should be able to recall how boiling point, viscosity and flammability change with increasing molecular size.<br /> The combustion of hydrocarbon fuels releases energy. <br /> During combustion, the carbon and hydrogen in the fuels are oxidised. <br /> The complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water.<br /> Students should be able to write balanced equations for the complete combustion of hydrocarbons with a given formula.<br /> Knowledge of trends in properties of hydrocarbons is limited to:<br /> • boiling points<br /> • viscosity<br /> • flammability.

<p>This is based on a set of instructions I found from someone else (thank you!!!) and I used it to create a template for drawing covalent bonds. It could be cut out and stuck into books.</p>

A fun lesson designed for children to work out the reactivity series themselves through some observations, demo and a practical. There are some challenging bits towards the end where you can discuss extracting metals. <br /> <br /> It covers the following from the national curriculum;<br /> <br /> Materials<br /> - the order of metals and carbon in the reactivity series<br /> - the use of carbon in obtaining metals from metal oxides<br /> <br /> This is a 100 minute lesson and uses a font called grilled cheese. I included a PDF so you can see what the font looks like

This is a session designed to get learners thinking about what the solar system is and how we have changed our views over time on what the solar system is structured.<br /> <br /> - To start with they will go over the structure of the solar system and the teacher will draw a quick model of it on the board<br /> - Learners will discuss the geocentric model<br /> - Discuss with learners how we have had different theories throughout time. Which ones do we now know to be false, true or still just theories<br /> - Learners have an opportunity to explore a theory themselves (such as how the moon was formed and the big bang theory) and share this with the class. <br /> <br /> This is designed to be a 100 minute session with iPads used towards the end. I used the font Grilled Cheese and attached a PDF so you can see what the font looks like.

5.7.1.2 Fractional distillation and petrochemicals<br /> <br /> Designed for 100 minute session with iPad. <br /> Font = grilled cheese. I have included a PDF of what it looks like with the font. <br /> <br /> The many hydrocarbons in crude oil may be separated into fractions, each of which contains molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms, by fractional distillation.<br /> The fractions can be processed to produce fuels and feedstock for the petrochemical industry.<br /> Many of the fuels on which we depend for our modern lifestyle, such as petrol, diesel oil, kerosene, heavy fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gases, are produced from crude oil.<br /> Many useful materials on which modern life depends are produced by the petrochemical industry, such as solvents, lubricants, polymers, detergents.<br /> The vast array of natural and synthetic carbon compounds occur due to the ability of carbon atoms to form families of similar compounds.<br /> Students should be able to explain how fractional distillation works in terms of evaporation and condensation.<br /> Knowledge of the names of other specific fractions or fuels is not required.

This is the first lesson of our new AQA 9-1 Chemistry course. The students in our school will use iPads during this session to help them research but worksheets/textbooks could also work with this session. <br /> <br /> Students will;<br /> <br /> - Identify the difference between an atom, element and a compound<br /> - Be introduced to the periodic table<br /> - Identify the different elements in a compound<br /> - Describe how compounds can be made using a practical<br /> - Complete a progress sheet to show how much progress they have made<br /> <br /> They need periodic tables, equipment for making iron sulphate and molymod kits<br /> <br /> Please review!

A fun starter/plenary activity for learners. Go through the PowerPoint and learners will say what type of bond it is (ionic, covalent or metallic) and why. I have put in a couple of slides of James Bond to make them giggle. This worked really well when I covered a C10 revision class and we instantly started to develop a positive relationship. I used white boards and they wrote down what they thought the answer was in groups. <br /> <br /> Thanks!
