This bundle will allow you to teach Year 7 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Mixtures and Separation Techniques. The bundle includes seven PowerPoints and associated resources sufficient to deliver seven full lessons. Lesson 7Ea “Mixtures” comes with an overview and Equipment list for the full topic.
Before delivering this topic, I recommend giving students practical skills training to ensure they can name and draw key lab equipment, and can safely light and use a Bunsen burner. I have three lessons available in my shop which are suitable for this, available individually or as a discounted bundle “Science Practical Skills - 3 Full Lessons”.
I have many other KS3 lessons and bundles available so please check out my shop, OnSpecScience.
This bundle will allow you to teach Year 9 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Reactivity (of Metals mainly). The bundle includes six full lesson PowerPoints, plus associated resources, which will allow you to deliver seven full lessons. The Extraction of Metals lesson package also includes an equipment list and overview for the whole topic.
I have many other KS3 and GCSE lessons and bundles available so please check out my shop, OnSpecScience.

This full Lesson PowerPoint will allow to teach the Higher-only specification points on Electrolysis, focusing on oxidation and reduction at the anode and cathode in terms of loss and gain of electrons. The lesson also introduces the concept of half equations and provides practice at writing these.
I deliver this lesson after first exploring the basic principles of electrolysis in my earlier lesson “Electrolysis (CC10a / SC10a)”.
The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, HIGHER TIER ONLY.
This bundle will allow you to teach Year 7 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Ecosystems. The bundle includes six full lesson PowerPoints (containing equipment lists) plus associated resources.
There is a lot of content here and it could be easily stretched to 7 or 8 lessons if you felt it appropriate. Review the lesson resources and decide which activities are appropriate for the ability range of your students.

Suggested teaching order: Evidence & Ideas, Seasons, Magnetic Fields, Gravity & Orbits, The Solar System & Universe Beyond.
I have many other KS3 lessons and bundles available. See the attached Checklist document for full details of Year 8 and please visit my shop, OnSpecScience.
This bundle will allow you to teach Year 8 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Unicellular Organisms. The bundle includes five full lesson PowerPoints (containing equipment lists for suggested practicals) plus an engaging ICT task (packaged with the Protoctists lesson) that can be used to occupy students for a full lesson of extension and consolidation.
Suggested teaching order: Uni or Multicellular?, Microscopic Fungi, Bacteria, Protoctists, ICT Extension lesson, Decomposers & Carbon Cycle.
I have many other KS3 lessons and bundles available. See the attached Checklist document for full details of Year 8 and please visit my shop, OnSpecScience.
This bundle is sufficient to teach Year 8 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Rocks. The bundle includes five full lesson PowerPoints (containing equipment lists for suggested practicals) plus associated resources.
Suggested teaching order: The Rock Cycle, Rocks and their Uses, Igneous and Metamorphic, Weathering and Erosion, Materials in the Earth.
In theory there should be a lesson 8Hd (on Sedimentary Rocks) but the required learning for this is already covered in the Rock Cycle intro lesson.
PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Alcohols and Ethanol Production in one single lesson. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Best taught after completing my lesson SC22a on "Alkenes and Homologous Series", which provides an intro to the structures of the alcohol homologous series.
This bundle will allow you to teach Year 9 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Making Materials. The bundle includes six full lesson PowerPoints plus associated resources. The Recycling Materials lesson package also includes an equipment list and overview for the whole topic.
I have many other KS3 and GCSE lessons and bundles available so please check out my shop, OnSpecScience.
Full Lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Uses and Properties of Polymers, and also on the Problems with Polymers. Sometimes covered across two lessons, I have combined both into a single lesson for efficiency. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers.
This PowerPoint will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Concentration and on Titration Calculations. The resource is easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and is appropriate for Triple Science classes only.
PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Nanoparticles and the uses, properties and risks of nanoparticulate materials. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers.
PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Condensation Polymerisation. Consistent with the Chemistry specification, this lesson focuses mainly on drawing and understanding esterification between single carboxylic acid and alcohol molecules, rather than polymer chains. However, it does extend to encompass formation of polyesters for high-end students.
The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, HIGHER TIER ONLY. Best taught after completing my lesson SC22a on “Alkenes and Homologous Series”, which provides an intro to the structures of carboxylic acids and alcohols.
**For one of the final summary tasks, you will need to get hold of Pearson Edexcel worksheet SC24c.2 “Monomers and Polymers”. Failing this, you could use slides 10 & 11 to prepare your own card sort which would substitute for the worksheet. Students’ progress can also be assessed simply using the yellow and pink box tasks on slide 9.

This PowerPoint (containing a worksheet) will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Electroplating (Triple Science Only). It also contains slides that provide essential background for the Core Practical involving Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate (CC10a). The Core Practical prep can be taught separately but I find it fits better alongside electroplating for Triple Science classes.
**Be aware: this lesson works best if you have access to Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Chemistry textbooks. It’s not essential; other resources can be used and all information needed for students to complete the worksheets is found in the slides. However, if textbooks are available, the worksheet can be completed as an independent learning task. **
Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Electrolysis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
This bundlewill allow you to teach Year 8 students the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum required learning on Light. The bundle includes five full lesson PowerPoints (containing equipment lists for suggested practicals) plus associated resources.
