I chop these up laminate them and then hand them out on envelopes for students in groups to sort into sustainable and non-sustainable. might not be as clear cut as it first seems - a good starter to generate lots of discussion!

Worksheet with practical instructions for making copper from copper oxide via copper sulfate. Also contains a few questions for students to answer. May be useful after studying displacement reactions, (no matter how well you have taught this some students will still say the orange material appearing on the paperclip is rust!) May also be used after introducing equations.

Selection of solutions resources. Including two ppts of core notes. Key words worksheet, HW work sheet and a couple of sheets relating to possible pracs and demos. Also a stepping stones frame work for students to use to plan a method for obtaining pure salt from rock salt. Beat the teacher is a simple plenary - you read the script out loud, students put their hands up when they hear a mistake, but most importantly offer a correction.

Worksheet with illustrated method and questions. A nice, effective practical to introduce acid rain. Please note: although I have made this worksheet the initial idea was not my own. I have made this based on a worksheet I used years ago and cannot find anywhere. If I have upset anyone by using their idea, please let me know and I'll remove this resource.

Summary and literacy assignment in which students have to use their knowledge of ocean acidification and the reactions of carbonates to respond to a letter from Nemo.

Aimed at helping to teach the difference between chemical and physical changes.

A selection of resources aimed at making rocks a bit more interesting! Please read the Teacher Instructions sheet about how to use each resource - I promise I've kept it brief!

Simple Venn diagram worksheet. Students have to place the statements in the correct place on the Venn diagram. Another plenary I find works really well with this topic is to arrange pupils into groups of two or three and provide each group with a petri dish lid or base and a lump of plastacine. Get the students to make particles out of the plastacine, then arrange them in the petri dish as you would find them in solids, liquids etc. The nice thing about making the partcles in the petri dishes is that you can put them on the projector and get the rest of the class to assess them.

Simple worksheet aimed at helping to introduce students to the terms reactants andproducts and to basic word equations.

Cut and paste worksheet where students have to match the acid to its corresponding base.

A worksheet with instructions for the student version of the classic demo, with a few questions thrown in for good measure.

An introduction into calculating calculation. Students can find this tricky, (for some reason), so I have tried to represent it as simply as possible.

Worksheet activity for pupils in KS3 on metal uses. Pupils have to find the name of different metals and then link them to the correct use.
