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 a year 9 KS4 class but can be altered for each year or ability. Introduces the students to the idea of fractions being hydrocarbons of similar length and propeties. 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

Used for an observation This was aimed for a top set class but can be easily tailored for lower ability students. Contains past paper exam style questions and answers. Also attached are differentiated sheets to assist students with understanding the different methods of cracking (thermal / steam and catalytic). Animations included to assist visual learners. Research task designed to increase comprehension skills.

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.

(Updated) Designed for year 9 class. Easily adjusted to support all levels. This lesson enables the students to recall atomic structure and apply information to learn about isotopes. Visual guide to ion formation. Worksheet included for calculating subatomic particles with given data. Answer sheet included Introduction and practice questions for relative atomic mass based around Chlorine

Designed to be accessible for all abilities. I found this topic at first could be very daunting for students so have created this as a way to guide them step by step through the process while also making it so you can take a step back and allow the students to work out the patterns involved. Begins with a recap into radiation types (animated). Then describes alpha decay and beta decay. Worked examples of equations and practise equations as an activity. Plenary is exam style questions

Designed to assist KS4 with introduction to quantitative chemistry. Covers the law of conservation of mass. Leads students through understanding formulae, identifying elements and atom count, and carries through to worked examples for Relative formula mass. Animated presentation assists students of all levels to understand balancing equations. Step by step guide with example workings to assist learners of different styles. Differentiated sheets for practising balancing equations. Discusses how matter can be lost via gas or gained via oxidation. Exam style question for plenary

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.

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

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.

This was delivered to both top and bottom set year 7's. It allowed them to understand the formation of salts during the reactions of acids and alkali. Gives worked examples for naming salts during word equations. Can be tiered to making symbol equations for higher performing students. Worksheet included as a revision guide for all acid reactions.

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.

Created using a mixture of resources (some TES some Boardworks) Please rate, really helps :)

This is designed to be delivered to year 9 but can be adapted or altered easily for different groups. Discusses the scale and size of atoms. Links to an engaging video about the structure of the atom. Leads students through mass number and atomic number with tips and hints Worksheet included for students to become familiar with using the periodic table to determine atomic structure. Exam style questions for plenary and preparation.

An introduction into how we use the resources the Earth provides. (graphs provided by AQA Third Edition Chemistry) Covers defining 'finite' and 'renewable' Discusses how resources are obtained (can be altered for research task) Compares data to determine sustainability Group activity about the role of scientists in assisting agriculture and industry Includes printable tables and definitions to save time

Covers solutions, solutes, solvents and visually assists the understanding of dissolving Using a collection of resources, some from other TES users. Any issues please don't hesitate to contact me
