Triangle puzzle on polymers where students match sentence fragments to construct a large hexagon. It is a revision activity which works across the ability range and is enjoyed by students. This could be used for groups of three, and it works well as a race. An answer sheet is provided. Introduction to refining and polymerisation. An onscreen cloze/labelling activity written in Excel; it ticks each word as students get them correct. Students like it because it gives immediate feedback. I’ve used it with all ability groups at GCSE. If you want to work out how it’s done, the password to unprotect it is ‘eliziczac’. Save as a template to stop students overwriting the original. Works well on a VLE.

A revision worksheet for GCSE students. It shows how the charge of an ion and the position in the periodic table are related to atom structure. It leads them from this to working out formulae. I’ve used it with groups across the ability range. Also included a summary sheet for the charges on ions

This is an 8 slide structured powerpoint for students to edit. It looks at balancing simple equations. It deals, as you’d expect, with numbers of molecules, numbers of atoms, subscript, conservation of atoms. I wrote it to accompany a GCSE module on combustion and air pollution. It is in the form of a workbook where students can edit the powerpoint presentation; moving atoms around (copying and pasting as necessary). There is a worked example to start with and the slides get harder. It works well on a smartboard. For lower ability students it is better done in smaller chunks. It could be used as a homework if put on a VLE. A powerpoint with the answers is included (useful for self/peer marking).

A revision activity for students which uses editing a colourful powerpoint as a hook to get them into the science of moles, bonding etc. It works well with students who find moles too abstract. Students open it within powerpoint to edit the slides before viewing as a slideshow. I’ve used it with very weak KS4 groups. It can easily be edited to suit any syllabus: exercises cover bonding, compounds, the Periodic Table, calculating molar mass of compounds etc. An answer powerpoint is provided. It could easily be used as a homework on the VLE.

A wordsearch, colouring, labeling worksheet to engage foundation tier GCSE students. Answer sheet provided.
