Two lessons surrounding mitosis. Students are taken through the ideas and importance of mitosis, before considering the mechanism of mitosis. A practical lesson is then included with instructions on how to visualize mitosis in allium roots. Instructions provided by the Nuffield foundation.

Lesson (including practical activity) for the displacement reactions of metals and the reactivity series. Engaging practical activity, and creative opportunity for students to write their own mnemonics.

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

An introductory lesson to ideas of atoms and elements to start the Atomic GCSE module.

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!

SOW to compliment AQA KS3 Matter scheme. This full series of lessons is fully equip to tackle the scheme in a logical and challenging fashion. Each lesson is presented from a colourful differentiated powerpoint, with activities and thought provoking questions for students. Practicals are regularly included, as well as interactive and independent activities, and each lesson ends with an opportunity for reflection. Students greatly enjoyed covering this unit, and other schools would benefit greatly from these resources.

A fun and engaging activity for electron structures. Can be used as a starter or plenary. Great for energizing students!

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

Presentation to deliver a group 1 lesson at GCSE level, with enough detail to deliver to triple science students. Featuring video links, key explanations, and a reflection slide. A very enjoyable lesson to demonstrate the reactivity of group 1 metals in water!

A series of 10 lessons to cover the entire AQA trilogy GCSE specification for Triple science, but can easily be used for combined science students. This scheme takes students from atoms, elements and compounds, through mixtures, to then considering the structure of atoms. After this point, students are introduced to the ideas of ions and the structure of the periodic table with reference to subatomic particles. Finally, students then combine all of these ideas to evaluate the reactivity of elements in groups 1, 7 and 0. There are several opportunities for practical skills to be developed, including: Distillation demonstrations Chromatography Group 1 demos Group 7 displacement reactions Formation of ionic compounds to demonstrate predicted electron transfer, e.g. combustion of magnesium. A fun scheme, which has so far proved to promote excellent progress. A full powerpoint is provided, as well as individual lesson powerpoints. All lessons come with powerpoints. Some have activities omitted - how to find these free activities from TES included in notes. Please contact for any queries.

Lesson introducing the ideas behind isotopes and how to calculate relative formula mass.

A full lesson to teach students about ionic bonding, designed to meet the learning criteria for AQA GCSE Combined Science. This will form a full lesson when accompanied by a worksheet for student to test their knowledge.

Presentation used to explain to students the idea of an ion, before linking this to the way in which elements react to adapt their electron structures.

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 research focused lesson where students investigate the uses of graphene and fullerenes. This lesson is structured to meet all learning outcomes for the AQA Combined Science Trilogy syllabus for fullerenes. An enjoyable and concise way to help students to navigate this topic.

Lesson to compliment the required practical on ‘Food Tests’ from B3 AQA Activate module. Follow up questions, context, and reflection

A full lesson taking students through the properties of different hydrocarbons, with particular focus on how intermolecular forces affect the physical properties of viscosity and flammability. Students are then taken through the two types of combustion, before attempting to balance combustion equations.

A comparative worksheet where students look for advantages and disadvantages for historical models of the atom.
