A3 revision summary sheet covering series & parallel circuits, circuit symbols, charge flow equation, potential difference, current and resistance including V= IR, I-V characteristics of ohmic conductor/filament lamp/diode, thermistors and light-dependent resistors.

Worksheet with info and questions on the Haber Process (answers included).

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.

Revision sheet covering the acid-related topics from Chemical Changes. (Does not include any extracting metals/electrolysis content from this unit)

I created this workbook for my students when studying periodic table (modern periodic table, history of the periodic table, group 1, transition metals, group 7 including displacement reactions, group 0). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, and some practice questions. There is a section for students to write down key definitions (most of these are indicated clearly within the text). I hope it is useful for you!

Covers resources & sustainable development, alternative methods of extracting metals (bioleaching/phytomining), life cycle assessments (LCAs) and recycling, reducing use of resources, potable water, wastewater treatment and required practical - analysing and purifying water samples.

2 worksheet versions, one includes drawing the scientific diagrams for each piece of equipment while the other is just naming and describing functions. Answers included.

A team challenge I created for my Y9 group at the end of C1 and C2, to recap both topics and to finish off the year. You could also use it at the start/middle of Y10 to recap what they have already done from GCSE. The challenges include making a model atom out of copper wire and mini marshmallows and modelling halogen displacement using lego bricks - you may wish to change these activities if you don’t have the resources to hand. The image I used in the corridor was a C1/C2 summary sheet (from TES). All images on the Element Zoo sheet are CC0 (free for commercial use, no attribution required). Enjoy!

Worksheet I created for Y7 with the AQA Activate 1 - Forces at a Distance topic in mind, although it could be used/adapted for other specifications and year groups. There are 2 worksheets (one has been condensed to 1 page, whereas the other has larger text and boxes) and sheets for the extension task to be placed around the room (all images used on this sheet are under a CC0 license, free for personal or commerical use without attribution). The students will need graph paper to complete the second part of the extension. Hope you and your students enjoy it!

Students research the periodic table using laptops (or information sheets) and fill in their sheet, then produce a leaflet on the periodic table and atomic structure. You can easily change the ‘demonstrate’ task at the bottom of the sheet or add another question. Created with OCR 21st Century Science Topic C2 (Chemical Patterns) in mind but would work for other specifications or could be easily adapted. (The preview is cropped but the actual document has borders!)

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

Sheet to be used with an information hunt/research activity on polymers.

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).

Research sheet on solubility and solutions that could be used with either an information hunt, laptops or textbooks.

Graded task on solutions and solubility.

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.

Combined instruction/results sheet used for a short Y7 practical on voltage in series circuits. Students measure the voltage across each individual bulb, then across the battery, to see if there is a link. Limited written instructions, so used with SEN students or those who find reading/interpreting instructions difficult.

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.

Worksheet questions on calculating efficiency of an appliance. Questions are graded and increase in difficulty (no rearranging/converting, converting units, rearranging equations and converting units, 2-step processes). An answer sheet is included for self-marking/correction. Used with mid-ability Y10 for P2 - Sustainable Energy on OCR 21st Century, but works with most specifications. Some questions at the end combine the power equation with the efficiency equation.

Used with mid-ability Y9 at the end of a unit on pressure. Includes a slide with suggested answers for self marking.
