Information and questions about complete and incomplete combustion. Used for AQA Separate/Trilogy Chemistry, Organic Chemistry topic.

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.

.

A worksheet to practice identifying variables in KS4 Chemistry investigation (e.g. required practicals).

Designed for AQA Trilogy/GCSE Chemistry but works for other specifications. Covers early atmosphere, greenhouse effect, human impacts, climate change & evidence, carbon footprint and atmospheric pollution.

Answers on the back of the sheet, print in A3.

Information sheets for an active learning activity about alloys, accompanied by a research sheet/worksheet to fill in. This was designed with OCR 21st Century Science C4 (Material Choices - Improving the Properties of Materials) in mind, but alloys are covered on many syllabuses and this could easily be adapted. An answer table is included in the PowerPoint so you can get students to self-mark/correct. All images are used under a CC0 license (no attribution required, for personal or commercial use).

Revision sheet for paper 2 content for AQA Trilogy Chemistry. This was designed for the advance exam information for the 2022 exams (higher) but works well as general revision.

Revision sheet for paper 2 content for separate/triple AQA Chemistry. This was designed for the advance exam information for the 2022 exams (higher) but works well as general revision.

Information sheet and questions on phytomining and bioleaching. Used as a research task for Y11.

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.

Worksheet covering electrolysis equipment, anions/cations and their movement, and the uses of electrolysis. I used this with an information hunt but you could use it with laptop research or as a revision summary sheet. Designed with OCR 21st Century Science in mind but could be used for most specifications.

Students use the information in the table to find out about the different rock types and fill in the table. I followed this up with: 'Write a guide for a Brownies/Scouts/Guides group to explain how they can decide whether a rock is sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic.‘ Stretch task: do this as a flow chart.’

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.

A table to help students work out the formulae of ions from different groups of the periodic table. Answers included.

Crossword on the periodic table. Designed with OCR 21st Century C2 (Chemical Patterns) in mind but works for other specifications.

Students watch the demo of group 1 metals reaction with water, writing down their observations, then write the equations for these reactions and answer questions on them. Stretch task of writing symbol equations.

Storyboard - life & atmosphere. AQA GCSE Chemistry, 5.9 Chemistry of the Atmosphere, 5.9.1.3 How oxygen increased & 5.9.1.4 How carbon dioxide decreased. Answer sheet included.

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.

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).
