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 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).

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.

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.

A practice sheet for calculating percentage by mass, atom economy and percentage yield in GCSE Chemistry (Separate/Triple). Answers are included.

Worksheet with info and questions on the Haber Process (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!

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

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.

These work like dominoes - students match the keyword with its correct definition, creating a loop. Covers pure and impure substances, separating mixtures and solubility.

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.

Homework I made for Y7 as a revision of our cells topic. Covers microscopes, plant VS animal cells and specialised plant cell example (root hair cell).

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.

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

Filtration card sort used with KS3.

Students sort the 4 steps (white) of a paper chromatography method into the correct order, and match them with 4 explanations (blue) for why things are done this way.

Used with low ability y8 class.
