Plenary is exam style question and homework supplied if needed.

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

This lesson introduces the halogens. It gives general information into their naming and uses linked to their properties. Using an animation it shows how the covalent bond is formed to allow the Halogens to be diatomic. Students are then lead through a step by step guide to explaining the reactivity of the Halogens with regards to their electrons and distance from nucleus. Displacement is explained using a simple anecdote. The experiment is provided if you wish to attempt this with your students. After explaining / practical there are equations questions to test the students learning. Plenary is exam style questions.

Teacher lead lesson which can be tailored to be used with student research. Easily delivered to KS3 or KS4. Introduces students to the topics of waves.
