Full lesson introducing the particle model and states of matter. Activities included - colourful and engaging.

A full lesson, including practical, for the tests and uses of alkenes, where students are also introduced to the ideas of polymers, and how to draw polymers. An enjoyable lesson, where students have previously made excellent progress.

Whole lesson on Electron structure. Only other required document is the electron structure periodic table - can be downloaded from ab_science here for free! A fun lesson, including an excellent electron structure bingo activity which really motivates students - bring your own chocolate prizes!

Activation energy and ECHG required practical lesson. Can be split over two lessons.

A full lesson with follow up on the Chromatography required practical for GCSE AQA Chemistry. An enjoyable lesson, which students find useful in understanding key concepts. Video links, animations, and follow up questions included.

A full lesson with tailored activity sheet to teach students about the structure and properties of metals and metallic bonds. This lesson uses a series of short animations and videos, each with complimentary activities, to discuss the bonding of metallic elements, and how this leads to their bonding properties. An enjoyable lesson, with great impact at imparting key ideas.

A lesson discussing different methods to separate mixtures, before leading students through simple paper chromatography. Follow up activities to the practical are included. A fun lesson with great impact.

Full lesson introducing students to the idea of a simple covalent molecule, before helping students to understand their properties. Exercises using molymods used to make very abstract ideas more concrete. An evaluative exercise is used to promote higher order thinking. Built in reflection at the end of the lesson.

Full lesson teaching students about the properties of ionic compounds and relating that to their structure. This lesson is pre-made with activities and ready to go, including reflections, video clips, and evaluation activities for higher order thinking.

A full lesson on cracking, taking students through the ideas of why cracking is important for supply to meet demand, to the formation and structure of alkenes, and their potential uses.

Mixtures Vs. Compounds lesson. You will require sulfur, iron, magnesium, and bunsen burners. A fun and engaging lesson enjoyed by students.

A fun introductory lesson for students to understand atoms and elements.

Lesson taking students through the differences between mixtures and compounds, before considering how physical properties can be used to separate mixtures. This lesson provides an opportunity fro students to either practice or observe a demonstration on distillation, as well as understanding alternative techniques for separating mixtures. A fun and engaging lesson for what can be a dry topic.

Engaging lesson taking students through the chemical and physical trends of group 7 elements. This lesson includes visual instructions for students when completing displacement reactions for group 7 elements, as well as an observation sheet for their practical experiments. An enjoyable lesson for what can be a dry topic. This lesson pushes students to think further and understand the trends, opposed to just wrote learning.

A full lesson taking students through the structure of the atom, before understanding how the structure of the atom was determined. Students also complete an evaluative exercise where they compare and contrast historical atomic structures, before determining their advantages and disadvantages. Covers all learning outcomes for atomic structure for the AQA Chemistry Trilogy Syllabus. A fun and engaging lesson for what can be a dry topic.

KS4 lesson where students investigate key endothermic and exothermic reactions from the AQA Combined Science Triolgy syllabus. A practical heavy lesson where students go through: Reactions of metals with acids Reactions of carbonates Thermal decomposition Ammonium nitrate and water Combustion reactions A very enjoyable lesson which fully engages students and gets them thinking.

A series of approximately three lessons where students are taken through: The structure of simple covalent molecules The properties of simple covalent molecules The structure of giant covalent molecules The properties of giant covalent molecules Structures of polymers Representing the structures of polymers Forming polymers There is a theme throughout this series of lessons where students use molymods to make abstract concepts far more concrete. This aids understanding and promotes engagement throughout a topic which can be both conceptually challenging, and quite dry to teach to students.

An introduction to Endothermic and Exothermic reactions aimed at KS4, taking students through a practical activity, before students attempt to tackle energy profiles.

A full lesson taking students through the structure of alkanes, the process of fractional distillation, and the uses of different fractions. All key ideas from the AQA GCSE syllabus are included, with a focus on flammability and viscosity with regard to uses of fractions. This lesson could be used to cover several learning episodes, and builds nicely on key concepts. It has proven very powerful in building key ideas in what can be a tricky process for students to understand.
