<p>A collection of 6 lessons covering the main concepts of both Exploring Science 9G and 9H that are most relevant to the Edexcel GCSE syllabus. The lessons include a standard starter slide using low stakes recall practise of previous lessons and concepts. Each lesson contains a traffic light multiple choice question to check understanding that can be answered with thumbs up or traffic light pages in student planners if available.The lessons use a range of activity types to engage students and lead them through some more difficult tasks such as balancing equations.</p> <p>Lesson 1: Separating mixtures<br /> Lesson 2: Chemical reactions<br /> Lesson 3: Periodic table<br /> Lesson 4: Endothermic and exothermic energy transfers<br /> Lesson 5: Rate of reaction<br /> Lesson 6: Chemical equations</p>

<p>A lesson based on the Exploring Science scheme containing the following tasks:</p> <ul> <li>Speaking frame on how oxygen gets into our cells</li> <li>Targeted questions on adaptations of the gas exchange system</li> <li>Anaerobic thinking map</li> <li>Noughts and crosses grid as a paired activity</li> </ul> <p>Any tasks can be easily adapted to the needs of your students, the Os and Xs activity can be used by itself as a good revision activity at the end of a topic or during retrieval practice for older year groups.</p>

<p>Based on Exploring Science specification</p> <p>Noughts and crosses grid provided, students to complete this in pairs, taking turns to write the answer to a question in one of the boxes. If their partner verifies it is right they get to put an X or O in their box, if it is wrong they can steal it!<br /> A very competitive revision activity that channels energy into focusing on key content - could be given as an individual task though - see how many you can answer/can you answer boxes in a certain shape/4 in a row etc</p>

<p>Based on Exploring science 7 content but can be used for other schemes of work and is easily adapted. To be used as a paired activity but can be used as an independent task also.</p> <p>I did not create the format of the connect 4 but have completed the 60 questions that fill up each space.</p>

<p>Bundle of lessons for topic CC1 and CC2 for the Edexcel specification but can easily be altered to suit other exam boards</p> <p>All lessons include a low stakes retrieval practical starter and exit ticket as a plenary - activities within vary depending on content but all will include multiple choice AfL questions at hinge points.</p> <p>Lessons:</p> <ul> <li>L1 States of matter</li> <li>L2 Mixtures</li> <li>L3 Filtration and crystalisation</li> <li>L4 Chromatography</li> <li>L5 Distillation</li> <li>L6 Purifying water</li> </ul> <p>Notes are provided on slides to explain tasks not explicitly stated in the slides</p>
