Having taught in the UK and abroad, I've experienced teaching many different syllabi including SABIS, AQA, WJEC and Cambridge. I develop resources to help teachers model key concepts, provide practice for students and include answers to help students self-assess their work. Planning for a 27 lesson week can be stressful to say the least, so I hope you find my resources useful. Thank you for choosing my lesson/s, I hope they enrich your teaching practice and make your life easier.

This engaging PowerPoint presentation, titled Surface Area, provides an in-depth exploration of how surface area affects the rate of chemical reactions. It is specifically designed for science educators aiming to deepen students’ understanding of collision theory and reaction dynamics.
The resource begins with clear learning objectives: identifying factors influencing reaction rates and explaining how surface area impacts these rates. A starter activity involving word unscrambling and foundational questions primes students for the main content. The lesson introduces collision theory, activation energy, and the role of particle interactions in reaction rates.
Students explore the effects of surface area through practical examples, including calculations comparing the surface area of whole cubes and smaller subdivisions. Visual aids and structured activities, such as filling in the gaps and analyzing reaction scenarios, enhance comprehension. A detailed explanation of how increased surface area leads to more frequent and energetic collisions solidifies theoretical understanding.
This resource also includes a practical alternative using a video demonstration of calcium carbonate reacting with hydrochloric acid. Students learn to graph reaction rates and interpret data, distinguishing between scenarios involving whole and crushed marble chips. The steeper slope for crushed chips vividly illustrates the concept of reaction rate acceleration.

This comprehensive PowerPoint presentation, introduces students to the concept of filtration and its applications in separating mixtures. Designed for secondary-level science students, the lesson blends theoretical understanding with practical activities to make learning interactive and impactful.
The lesson begins with clear learning objectives: defining mixtures, describing the process of filtration using correct apparatus, and explaining its uses in separating insoluble solids from liquids. A starter activity engages students by asking them how to separate simple mixtures like flour and beans, setting the stage for deeper exploration of the topic.
Core content explains mixtures as two or more substances not chemically joined and introduces filtration as a method to separate insoluble solids from liquids. Visual aids and labeled diagrams help students understand the process, detailing how filter paper allows smaller liquid particles to pass through as filtrate, while larger solid particles remain as residue. Examples like muddy water and coffee filtration provide relatable, real-world contexts.
The practical component involves a class demonstration or student experiment where mixtures such as muddy water and copper sulfate solution are separated using filtration. Students answer reflective questions to reinforce their understanding, such as identifying filtrates and residues and why some mixtures, like copper sulfate solution, cannot be separated using this method.
The lesson includes practice questions, gap-fill activities, and a plenary to summarize key learning points. Delivered in a PowerPoint format (.pptx), it is compatible with most devices and updated with modern visuals and examples for enhanced engagement. This resource is ideal for classroom teaching or independent learning, providing a thorough exploration of filtration techniques.
