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

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

I usually get students to do this lesson after completing a practical circus/investigation into metals properties. Dingbats starter. Answers: copper, mercury, tungstem/tungsten, (I know I cheated!) iron and potassium. Mind map to be copied into books. The passport control I get students to act out in pairs at the end of the lesson.I usually finish off by showing youtubes of exceptions to the rules, such as a canon ball floating on mercury - a liquid, but still dense.

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

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

A little booklet outlining the maths skills required for the GCSE Chemistry course. Including examples to complete and QR links to helpful websites.

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.

Worksheet about lots of useful neutralisation reactions. Could be set for homework or used for cover lesson.

Simple worksheet to help students find their way around the periodic table. Pupils will need a copy of the periodic table with both the symbols and names of elements on.

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.

A simple Power Point and worksheet to help introduce pupils to the idea of a limiting reagent.

Worksheets for the required practicals including instructions and tips and typical questions.

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

Simple worksheet, which I usually print half size. Pupils look at the pictures and have to determine which side of the fire triangle is being removed/about to be removed.

I usually get the students to carry this out after having done the RSC's tricky tracks as a starter, so that students can distinguish between an observation and a conclusion. It is a sample set of instructions for six nice, simple practicals students can have a go at. As extension work you could then get them to write equations for the reactions.

A fun way of getting pupils to look at graphs in Science. Could be used as a starter or pleanary. Print the interpreting graphs activity out and laminate to make four different colour, double sided cards. Organise pupils into groups of two or three and provide each group with a set of four cards. Introduce the activity using the first page of the Power Point. Pupils use the clues on the back of the cards to help them describe what is happening in each graph, answers can then be shared as a class using the Power Point.

Scheme of Work for NEW AQA GCSE 4.1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table Unit. Start by opening document 4.1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table SOW. This contains learning objectives taken from the new specification, but written in a more student friendly manner. There are then hyperlinks to the relevant resources uploaded, as well as to useful websites, videos and practicals. Includes fun starters, extension challenges, worksheets, homework and other activities. Enjoy! O.k apologies, but I can't seem to upload it without the hyperlinks to the worksheets and presentations breaking, but the resources are all clearly labelled so you should still be able to find them using the titles from the SoW. You can always edit and repair the hyperlinks yourself?
