all tests present, except flame spectroscopy, requiring that students spot the mistakes in each test, their results or their ions (all of them have at least one) and/or correct them. The resource also helps with exam technique, since the new style exam question requires that they state errors in practical investigations. differentiation: foundation or low ability could just circle the mistakes; higher ability also to correct them good for: homework, starter or plenary, part of a cover lesson/catch up sheet or if a student is out of class

fully differentiated and answers included for new spec GCSE chemistry. Useful for: homework, revision, cover, student out of a classroom, maybe a full lesson as a collective memory task or similar explores reactions, physical properties,etc of all the groups

suitable for all boards and planned for a GCSE lesson, but could also be used for KS3. provides a comparison and summary of elements, mixtures and compounds and requires students to sort substances into the correct category. Objective:pair/ group work to complete a table comparing elements, mixtures and compounds differentiation: differentiated on 3 levels, all 3 are easily accessible, more able students could sort the information using their own method timng: about 30 - 40 minutes, depending on student ability could be used for: designed for the main part of a lesson as a carousel activity, could be used as cover or homework Please note: the worksheet can be purchased separately as ‘elements, mixtures and compounds compared for GCSE’

suitable for all boards and planned for a GCSE lesson, but could also be used for KS3. provides a comparison and summary of elements, mixtures and compounds and requires students to sort substances into the correct category. Objective: review of concepts that students often get confused differentiation: differentiated on 3 levels, all 3 are easily accessible timng: about 10 - 15 minutes, depending on student ability could be used for: starter, plenary, homework, part of a group circus activity for a whole lesson task, research activity for absent students or cover This resource is included in the elements, mixtures and compounds carousel/circus resource that is for sale

for GCSE chemistry/combined students. Could be used for either foundation or higher tier. objective: to define ‘allotrope’; to compare the structures and properties of allotropes of carbon; to relate properties to uses good for: full lesson as a staged task (after explanation or with a reference text); full lesson - the answers could be used as a collective memory task; homework; revision; cover; student that is out of the lesson differentiation: to 3 levels - easier more visual task, gap fill task, and free fill task Answers included

an adaptation of a resource (to the same tune) that I downloaded many years ago - I’m sorry I can no longer find it to credit the author. It has been modified and I know hope that it contains most of the information needed for the new course about alkenes and their reactions for a good way to end a lesson on alkenes or for part of a revision lesson. enjoy

worksheet comparing alkanes and alkenes bonding and includes all important key terms. differentiated, with a super-simple version for less able students. Answers included. good for: extension activity, starter, plenary or homework timing: 5 - 10 minutes

worksheet comparing ionic and covalent bonding and includes the misconception of covalent bonding being a weak bond. differentiated, with a super-simple version for less able students. Answers included. good for: extension activity, starter, plenary or homework timing: 5 - 10 minutes

Starter based on real exam question and real responses as an Afl style activity. I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards suggested uses: Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect This could be extended to be the focus of a whole lesson, if you use the question as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds. Commentary on student answers are included.

for GCSE chemistry, sung to ‘let it snow’

4 starters based on real exam questions and real responses as an Afl style activity. I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards suggested uses: Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect This could be extended to take a whole lesson, if you use a number or all of the questions in the powerpoint and ask the students to come up with their own perfect answers, either in class or for homework; or 4 whole lessons, if you use the questions as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds. marking points and commentary on student answers are included.

Story with characters, such as Nitrojulian and Carbon Dickoxide in a spoof Famous Five story: 'five create an atmosphere' describing the interactions between gas levels and the changing biosphere. The story is made easier for foundation students by having the main points underlined and colour-coded for different characters (gases). A table is included for students to complete to test the learning after the story. objectives: subject knowledge, revision technique, consolidation differentiation: foundation and higher tier stories. Table differentiated to 3 levels of difficulty good for: part of a lesson, e.g. starter, revision, homework, part of a cover lesson. could be used for more able KS3 PLEASE NOTE: this resource is included in the foundation and higher 5 atmosphere lessons, if you prefer to purchase this with the other resources too

Based on AQA and Edexcel syllabi, but would work for other boards. Worked example and practice question(s) per sheet for all calculations in chemistry: RFM, the mole, mole and equations, mole and equations with volume of gases, concentration of solution, atom economy, percentage yield, titration calculations, strong and weak acids and bond energies. Includes all topics for Foundation and Higher combined course and the triple course (the course to which the topic pertains is put in the notes - if there is no note, it is for all students. Answers included for ease of marking objective: maths, revision/consolidation differentiation: the questions come in 2 levels of difficulty 'harder' and 'easier' good for: part of a lesson, e.g. starter; homework; as a set of revision sheets; cover; catch up for absent students
