I am a super dyslexic teacher, with a dash of ADD, all my resources are built with access in mind, because honestly, if they weren't I wouldn't be able to read them. Note the pastel tones, chunking and clear notation ques. As such my resources are also super easy to scaffold or stretch, and definitely easy to replicate. Please enjoy, and hang in there, at whatever school you're at, I can guarantee that those kids need you in their lives a lot more than you realise.

POP! students all over the country never forget the hydrogen pop test, brilliantly accessable, student swill compete to produce the biggest number of pops over a 5 minute period, hands up polling will give a winner and can be rewarded. A new folding equation is introduced and students should at this point be comfortable with reading word equations. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it! My style of teaching isn’t for everyone, I’m a dyslexic teacher who’s heard it all, my lessons are all catered towards accessibility (because if they were not I’d never be able to read them myself). Everything is short sharp and to the point, I don’t believe in endless writing, reams of printing, spoon feeding diagrams or pointless activities. Every minute matters! Be sure to check out all my other resources, as a personal goal I intend to share all my resources at least once because hey, the government isn’t going to make it easier and we both know you are reading this way outside of your work hours. Enjoy, comment or rate if you can, but most of all hang in there, they need you way more than you realise!

KS3 C1.6 Separating a mixture (enquiry)

The culmination of this series, students are given free reign to seperate out iron filings, salt, sand and pebbles, to increase the challenge you can add wood chippings and for super high ability vegetable oil. Nothing teaches better than allowing student sto exercise and apply thier knowledge, you can easily differentiate by dropping clues and hints or even better you can make it accountable by weighing the mixtures before and the total of each pile after. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

KS3 C1.5 Purity and separating mixtures

Things are always easier when its directly relatable and applicable, finding ways to improve the water quality of other school children around the world will hit a strong cord. Students will spend time trying to filter clean water through different methods that they create and then add them all to a big pot at the front. Then demo how its actually done, If you can pull the switch convincingly enough you could ‘drink’ from it to prove its clean. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

Amazing fun with this lesson, get yourself a stinky spray, the worse the better, explore diffusion and model it as explicitly as possible, then give students the challenge to build a better stink bomb. This could be combined with an actual stink bomb experiment for old or more developed students but its a pretty terrible idea in setting the tone for my year 7's whom this is one the first few lessons they get. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

Fairly basic lesson, make to flesh this out with plenty of demo's and the practical, I find the hands on approach for neutralisation is the only way to go. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

One of my favourites, a spin on a classic chemistry lesson, theres a brilliant analogy (thanks whoever came up with that) a unique appllication of the 1,2,3 game of which most kids will have played at least once and lots of visuals plus a good qualitative practical that could easily be adjusted to be investigatve for higher groups..
