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

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

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.’

Summary sheet for revision of waves topic light section, covering reflection, refraction and dispersion. Used with a mixed-ability Y8 but could work with most years.

Used with low ability Y7.

Information booklet which gives students guidance on how to: Draw even scales Draw lines/curves of best fit Describe & explain a trend (including identifying strong/weak/positive/negative correlations) Plot range bars Interpolate/extrapolate Calculate gradient Write a linear equation I have these out on the tables every time students are drawing a graph to serve as a ‘self-help’ guide in the first instance. Used with Y7 up to Y11.

I created this workbook for my students when studying energy changes (exothermic/endothermic reactions, uses/applications, energy level diagrams, breaking/making bonds, bond energy/overall energy change calculations, planning to investigate temperature change). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, and lots of 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!

Students look at various food labels and find out how much protein, fat (including saturates), carbohydrates (including sugars), fibre and minerals are in each product.

Activity used with Y7 class for a lesson on the menstrual cycle - I used this with the information sheets as an information hunt acitivity, but could work with laptops, a video or as a cover work activity with textbooks. Challenge questions to print on the back, differentiated gap-fill version included.

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).

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.

Calculations practice for reacting masses/amounts of substances. AQA Quantitative Chemistry (Calculations) topic.

Basic lesson on how to balance equations (with worked examples), conservation of mass, and state symbols in symbol equations.

I created this workbook for my students when studying atmosphere (composition of the early and modern atmospheres, greenhouse effect, global warming & climate changes, carbon footprint and atmospheric pollution). 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!

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

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!

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

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

Graded task on solutions and solubility.

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.
