Visual aids help the students to understand how chain length and intermolecular forces affect properties of the fractions. QR codes provided and link to youtube channels. Student lead activity to explain how fractional distilation occurs (chance to make model answers). Worksheet included for researching the fractions and their uses. Plenary is exam style questions

This was delivered to a Year 10 class. Can be altered for different abilities. Introduction discusses elastic as a property. Recaps on Hooke's law to give context. Leads through calculation from spring constant to elastic potential with example. Worksheet attached.

Designed for a lower ability class but can be tailored for higher. This covers the fundamentals of electrolysis and defining the different terms. Past paper questions and answers included for stretch and challenge

Designed as an intro for KS3 but also can be delivered as a recap for KS4. Introduces electricity as the movement as electrons (with atom diagram) so that students are aware of this from the begining. Symbols and related worksheet given as activity. Leads students through identifying series and parallel circuits with digrams on board. Activity for students to determine if circuits work or not (with reasons). Introduction to Amps. Plenary is exam style question

This resource allows the students to be introduced to the concepts of allotropes. It guides them through researching 4 different allotropes (diamond, nano-tubes, fullerene and graphite) to compare structure and properties. Each is followed by a guided explanation of each allotrope. For alternative method their is a guided worksheet provided that works excellently with lower ability students. The next material introduced is silicon dioxide and this is explained and compared to diamond to enable the students to develop their ability to compare and explain. Finishes with a past paper question and model answer. QR codes are provided leading to BBC bitesize.

This lesson was designed for KS4 but can be delivered to KS3 group. Recaps on the definition of elements, compounds and mixtures. Introduces the terms ‘solvant, solute and solution’ with word match exercise (animated). Explains how substances are dissolved and addresses misconception that materials ‘vanish’. Leads to rock salt practical where students are challenged to determine the equipment they will need for the practical. Full equipment list and method provided with set up diagrams Follow up questions / answers and explanation of method. Plenary is exam style questions with answers

Delivered to year 9 as part of the introduction to KS4 chemistry. This lesson teaches students how to name compounds (based on metals and the presence of oxygen). The lesson then has an activity for the students to complete familiar word equations and name compounds from their chemical formula. Students are then introduced to the conservation of mass. Animated slides help show students the importance of balancing equations and how to go about solving questions. Practice questions with answers are provided. Finally students are introduced to reactions that appear to gain or lose mass. Plenary is exam style questions with animated answers.

One slide only Animated slide on naming salts. Found this really helped students of all abilities who were struggling with acid and alkali reactions. If you could leave a review it would be appreciated :)

Designed for higher ability KS3 and KS4 students. This recaps on the nuclear symbol of the element and how to determine proton, electron and neutron numbers. From here the students are given the rules for drawing an atom with animated example. Students are given questions (coloured for differentiating starting points) to apply their knowledge. An exam style question is given as an extension paper with mark scheme provided. Students then introduced to how the periodic table is designed to help determine an element’s reactivity. Electron configuration template provided for students who struggle or for simple neatness. Plenary is an exam style question with answers.

Introduction to Acid and Alkali for KS3. Discusses the uses of acids and alkali with household examples. The properties of acids and alkalis Introduces the pH scale (best with teacher demo) For higher level students a task to identify relevant ions Worksheet attached for possible homework or application task

(My apologies for any issues with previews, TES servers are having issues) Designed for an observation lesson with Year 10. This can be tailored for higher and lower ability students. Gives context to reproduction and the importance for maintaining life. Recaps on Gametes in animals and plants. Allows student discussion to introduce idea of variation and clones. Student lead activity for researching sexual and asexual reproduction (QR codes included for BBC bitesize). Clear table created and example statements to compare and explain the different methods. Questions provided to ensure learning and for ease of assessment (answers included in presentation) Exam style questions (both higher and lower) for plenary / Homework

This lesson is designed for Year 7 and can be delivered to any ability group. Recaps on reading the pH scale. Links to defining what a neutral solution is and what a neutralisation reaction is. Higher level students can be pushed by trying to assign chemical symbols to reactions. Real life application of neutralisation reactions is delivered. Leads to a simple practical for the students to develop their skills and see how to balance acids / alkali. Exam style questions for plenary.

Designed to teach KS4 about how to calculate resultant forces when the forces are non-collinear. Gives examples of when forces which occur in such a way. Animated guide to drawing a parallelogram as a worked example, colour coded for ease of viewing. Gives students past exam style questions for practise

This lesson was delivered to both KS3 and KS4. The 3 stages of distillation are shown clearly and slowly using a full animation. Particles travel and clearly show the stages of evaporation and condensation. Chromatography is covered, again animated, showing how substances are separated by using a solvent and how to explain the results. This leads to worked examples of calculating Rf values.( As a extension another animation shows how ethanol and water are separated based on boiling point. Questions activity with answers provided for summary. Plenary is exam style questions, with answers.

Designed to meet the KS3 and KS4 specification. Covers introduction to food chains and links towards food webs. Discusses how the sun provides all energy to food chains. Activities will help students understand how chain is dependent on each step. Worksheet enables students to deepen learning on herbivores, omnivores, apex predators etc. Lesson then leads into pyramid of numbers and pyramids of biomass with example questions for plenary.
