A Science teacher by trade, I've also been known to be found teaching Maths and PE! However, strange as it may seem, my real love is designing resources that can be used by other teachers to maximise the experience of the students. I am constantly thinking of new ways to engage a student with a topic and try to implement that in the design of the lessons.

Mendeleev and the Periodic Table

(0)
This is a concise lesson that looks at Dmitri Mendeleev’s periodic table, the changes and tweaks that he made and compares it against the modern day version of the table. The aim of the lesson is to show students how accurate Mendeleev was with his table, even with those elements that had not yet been discovered. They will work through some examples with eka-silicon and eka-manganese and also compare eka-aluminium’s predictions against those of gallium. Links are made to the development of the atom so students can understand how the atomic number was used by Mendeleev and how it is used now. Students are set homework to look at the developments that were made by other scientists as homework and this is not covered in this lesson.

Biological polymers

Biological polymers

(0)
A resourced lesson which looks at a number of examples of biological polymers. The lesson includes an engaging lesson presentation (40 slides) and a couple of worksheets to be used in the understanding check task. The starter activity challenges the students to use their Chemistry knowledge to come up with the abbreviation DNA. They will learn the key details of this polynucleotide and then time and focus is given to the nitrogenous bases and how they bond between the two strands. Moving forwards, students will be shown the next biological polymer that is a polypeptide. They are briefly shown how to draw a block diagram to represent the chain of amino acids. The final polymer are carbohydrates and students will learn how glycogen, starch and cellulose are formed from glucose monomers. Regular progress checks are written into the lesson at regular intervals to allow the students to check their understanding and ask questions. This lesson has been written for GCSE students
Detecting ANIONS
GJHeducationGJHeducation

Detecting ANIONS

(0)
An engaging and practical based lesson presentation (24 slides) which challenges the students to carry out a range of practical tasks to learn the identification tests and positive results for the anions. The lesson begins by challenging the students to use their prior knowledge of chemical formulae to name two sets of ions. Students will be reminded of the definition of a cation so they can use this to write an accurate one for the anions. The rest of the lesson looks at the different tests and time is taken to explain the details behind each of them. Progress checks have been written into the lesson at regular intervals to allow the students to check their understanding. A set homework has also been included. This lesson has been written for GCSE students.
State symbols
GJHeducationGJHeducation

State symbols

(0)
A quick and fun lesson which goes through the accurate addition of state symbols to balanced symbol equations. The aim of this lesson is to give students quick and easy ways to recognise the state of matter of a reactant or product whilst being engaged trough the format of the lesson. A number of quick quiz competitions are used in the lesson, either to introduce a new term of to act as a fun understanding check. First of all, students will use their Chemistry knowledge to come up with the fourth symbol, aq, which is commonly forgotten. Moving forwards, a worked example is used to guide the students through adding the state symbols. A visual of the experiment is shown in a video but could be done as a demonstration to help the students further. Finally, the students are challenged to apply their new-found knowledge and write a fully balanced symbol equation with state symbols. An assistance sheet is available for those who need a little push. This lesson has been designed for GCSE students
Temperature and the position of equilibrium
GJHeducationGJHeducation

Temperature and the position of equilibrium

(0)
This lesson explores how the temperature affects the position of equilibrium in a reversible reaction. This can be a difficult topic for students to understand and therefore the aim has been on the key details. The lesson begins by challenging the students to recall the rules of a dynamic equilibrium in order to recognise how if the equilibrium position changes then so do the concentrations. Links are made during the lesson to related topics such as endothermic and exothermic reactions and some time is taken to go back over calculating energy changes so that the type of reaction can be determined. The forward reaction in the Haber process is used as the example so students can see how an increase in temperature in this exothermic reaction would lead to a decrease in the yield of ammonia. Students are then challenged to use this example to explain how a decrease in temperature would affect the production of methanol. This worksheet is differentiated so students who need extra assistance can still access the learning. This lesson has been written for GCSE students.
