It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Choosing Materials (Ceramics, Metals and Polymers) and Composite Materials. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. You will also need to download my free worksheet “SC26a-b Materials Research sheet”.

This full lesson PowerPoint will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Chemical Cells and Fuel Cells. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Please note that this lesson covers the Edexcel Chemistry Paper 1 content on chemical cells and hydrogen fuel cells. “Recall that a chemical cell produces a voltage until one of the reactants is used up” “Recall that in a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell hydrogen and oxygen are used to produce a voltage and water is the only product” “Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of fuel cells for given uses” This lesson does not cover the Paper 2 content comparing and contrasting hydrogen and petrol as fuels. For that content, see my lesson SC20f on Cracking and Alternative Fuels.

This full lesson PowerPoint (including practical activity and worksheet) can be used to teach a broad range of abilities about Chromatography - what it is, how it works and how to do it. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

This PowerPoint will allow you to deliver the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry Core Practical in which calcium hydroxide is used to gradually neutralise hydrochloric acid. It includes background info on indigestion and antacids (for context), an easy-to-follow method to share with students, plus additional tasks aimed at building skills with acid reactions and balanced equations. The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and High-tier. Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Acids and Alkalis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the pH scale and strong, weak, concentrated and dilute acids. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes. **Only Higher tier students need to cover this content. **

Full Lesson PowerPoint (including suggested practical activity) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Reactivity of Metals, while also covering examples of ionic and half equations in this context. The resource is accessible for students, easy to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about how to name ionic compounds and predict their formulae, including using of brackets to write the formula for compounds containing polyatomic ions. You will need to download the FREE resource, “SC5b Ionic Formulae worksheet” which is available from my shop. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.
