Activity in which students sort the statements into categories according to which type of reaction they are. Print out the slide of statements and they write them in the appropriate column. There is a pre-made table for students who this would benefit, and one slide where the statements are pre-coloured into categories - they just need to figure out which colour of statements apply to which reaction. There is also a differentiated gap fill activity for students who would struggle to access the sorting activity, and an answer sheet for this.
2 differentiated worksheets where students work out the displayed and molecular formula of the first 8 alkanes. Second more difficult sheet also includes working out the empirical formula.
Scaffolded worksheet on comparing the reactivity of 2 elements in the same group e.g. sodium and potassium. Sections on group 1 (and 2) and group 7 (and 6). Includes a diagram of relative atomic sizes for groups 1, 7 and 8.
I have linked a video I made to help students with this task.
Scaffolded worksheet that shows students how to answer questions on melting/boiling point and link these to structure and bonding. Includes examples for giant covalent, ionic, simple molecular and metallic. Students use their new skills to answer 4 real past exam questions. Good for revising C3 (Structure and Bonding).
Electronic structure diagrams for the first 20 elements, up to and including Calcium. Feel free to use in any of your resources, either commercial or personal.
Information sheet on how the structure and bonding of ionic, covalent and metallic compounds influence their properties. Each section includes an example exam question. Designed for AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy C3 topic (Structure, Bonding & Properties of Matter). Could be used as part of an independent learning task.
This activity includes an information sheet which shows students how to complete dot-cross diagrams, and lots of examples to practice with. Answers in a separate file.
3 tasks I set my Y7 and Y8 students for remote learning about the Rock Cycle. The students all drew the diagram of the rock cycle in their book. Higher ability annotated it with the clues AND added extra detail via the stretch questions, middle ability annotated without the stretch questions. I have included my attempt/modelling, which I attached to assist students with this task. Low ability drew a simpler diagram and copied & completed a gap fill (very low reading ages - some pre-reception).
High and mid ability then wrote a story/created a storyboard to describe the journey of a piece of rock at point 1, all the way through the cycle to point 12. This was followed by a Kahoot challenge and an educake quiz.
Rock Cycle Remote Learning 1 - higher ability
Rock Cycle Remote Learning 2 - middle ability
Rock Cycle Remote Learning 3 - lower ability
I have attached them as both PPT and PDF in case students have difficulty opening PPT at home.
Basic lesson on calcluating relative atomic mass (Ar) for AQA GCSE Chemistry/Combined Science Quantitative Chemistry (Calculations) unit.
I have not included correcting answers to the right amount of significant figures on slide 8 as I know some people may not want to discuss this yet, you can change them to the correct number of SF if you wish.
Revision summary sheet for C9, crude oil & fuels for AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy. Covers crude oil & hydrocarbons, fractional distillation, cracking and combustion.
Worksheet on identifying atomic number, atomic mass, number of protons, neutrons and electrons in atoms. Practice/SLOP/revision for AQA GCSE Chemistry C1 Atomic Structure & Periodic Table (or other exam boards). Answers included.
