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.

Leads the students through the development of the periodic table from Newland's to Mendeleev's. Links to YouTube video that explains Mendeleev's discovery. Differentiated questions to help students understanding. Final task introduces the students to trends and helps them to see first hand how the table is used.

(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

Animated powerpoint, used to deliver to my Year 7 of ranged ability. Introduces students to the history of microscopes including Robert Hooke, Includes guided learning to the parts of the microscope. Introduction to writing methods and drawing observed images. Calculations for magnification. Includes homework for students to research functions of each part to reinforce learning. Can be adjusted for different levels of ability

Guided powerpoint. Leading through quick recap on resistance, guide to practicals. Covers required practical 4 of physics / trilogy spec 2016. Used with my lower ability group but can be tweeked quite easily. Also attached past paper questions to help as random plenaries

Delivered to higher ability KS4 students but can be adjusted for different groups. Includes resource (Diagram included to label, word bank and answer guide) Recaps on definition of cells, tissues and organs with visual aids. Explains the term ‘metabolism’ to students as the sum chemical processes occuring in the body. Student lead activity allows them to research and label the digestive system. Visual aids and animations help deliver information on the adaptations of the digestive systems (peristalsis, enzymes, microvilli and stomach muscles). Plenary is exam style questions.

Designed to deliver to KS4 group. Can be altered for a range of abilities. Reinforces law of conservation of energy Leads students through definition of closed system. Independent research (QR codes to BBC bitesize) to allow students to research different heat transfer types. Visual descriptions of each to help reinforce learning. Worksheet included regarding design and function of vacuum flask

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.

Designed to be delivered to KS4 groups. This continues from discussing parallel forces and explains to students how to calculate what forces occur when an object is on a slope. Using the example of a trolley on a hill the students are lead step by step through the different forces and how to draw a triangle of forces. From this they are given worked examples and then a differentiated task to determine confidence levels. Ends with a dicussion about forces acting in different directions.

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.

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

(Apologies for poor previews, TES servers are having issues) Delivered to a year 10 class. Can be easily adapted for different ability levels and year groups. Introduces the students towards the concept of metabolism and metabolic pathways. Animations included to help show idea of 'series of chemical reactions'. Includes wall displays as resources for students to research the different pathways recommended by AQA. Exam style question for plenary

Designed to deliver to Year 10 group. Can be altered easily for any ability group. Introduces students to the relevance of glucose made in photosynthesis. Using displays or resources students can explore 6 different uses for glucose (differentiated worksheets included). Exam practice questions provided for extensions / homework. Simple retention task included to help with constructing concise answers. Quick research task (QR code provided) for nutrients in soil. Exam style question as plenary

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 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

Used as a prelearning tool for KS3 / KS4. Useful when linked to relevant websites.
