KS4 lesson taking students through the applications and uses of equations to calculate Ke, GPE, and Ee. Each equation is introduced in a way where students begin to think about the equations, and how different factors affect the amount of energy in different stores, before students begin to consider the use of equations in an exam context. Differentiated questions demanding students convert units and consider the form of their answers. What’s more, the final questions require students to interchange values between stores of GPE, Ke, and Ee.

A worksheet for students to use to guide independent learning on the structure of metals and how this links to their properties. This ideally compliments a lesson which is available here

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 lesson to compliment the teaching of surface area to volume ratio, and its effect on the rate of diffusion. This lesson takes has a maths focus of encouraging students to calculate surface area to volume ratio, and then comparing these values to the time taken for HCl to diffuse into cubes of agar gel which are soaked in phenolphthalein. Differentiated and engaging for an otherwise dry topic.

Lesson introducing the reactivity of halogens at KS3. Viles of Cl, Br, and I can be brought in tot he lesson to show students - practicals not recommended for safety purposes.

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.

A lesson where students research different models of the periodic table. Designed to cover all learning outcomes for the AQA trilogy GCSE. Fun and independent!

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.

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

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.

Several lessons to take students through the structure of the digestive system, enzyme functioning, and how environmental conditions can affect the rate of enzyme action. These lessons are fully resourced, and will take students through all of the key ideas behind the digestion unit of B3, including a comprehensive review and follow up of the enzymes required practical. An enjoyable set of lessons, with high impact.

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.

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.

A KS4 lesson covering the formation of crude oil, as well as the consequences of burning crude oil once formed. A hollistic approach to the topic where students begin to understand the disparity of timings between formation and combustion of crude oil.

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.
