Practical method and worksheet to go with my GCSE Chemistry lesson on “Properties of Ionic Compounds”. Full details and equipment list for students to test solubility and conductivity of substances, to determine whether or not they are ionic.

To go with my Year 8 lesson on "Weathering and Erosion ".

This PowerPoint will allow you to deliver the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry Core Practical in which electrolysis of copper sulphate solution is performed using copper electrodes. It includes the background theory that students need to know. The experiment is complex and time-consuming, so I have suggested some short-cuts and have provided easy-to-follow methods to share with students. I’ve also included exemplar data for students to analyse if their experimental data is not sufficient. The resources are easy to follow for teachers and readily accessible for students. This is required learning for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and High-tier. 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 full Lesson PowerPoint will allow you to teach students the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry content on breaking down hydrocarbons (cracking) and comparing hydrogen versus petrol as fuels for vehicles.The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers. Note: this lesson covers the Edexcel Paper 2 specification point on hydrogen fuel cells which is relevant to both Combined Science and Triple Science students: “Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen, rather than petrol, as a fuel in cars” For full coverage of the Triple-only Paper 1 content, evaluating hydrogen fuel cells alongside chemical cells, see my separate lesson “SC16a Chemical Cells and Fuel Cells”.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical activities) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the reactions of metals with acids. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. You will also need my free worksheet "8Gd Hypothesis and Conclusions orange sheet" from my TES shop.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with independent learning activity) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about air pollution that comes from combustion of fossil fuels. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical activity) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about neutralisation reactions. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

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 the treatment of UK drinking water, distillation of sea water in hotter countries and also about the fractional distillation of air. This is an ICT-based lesson requiring access to PCs or tablets. 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.

This double-lesson PowerPoint will allow you to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Methods of Separation and Purification, including filtration, evaporation & crystallisation, simple distillation and fractional distillation. The resources allow delivery of one lesson covering the required theory for each separation technique, then an optional second lesson where the pupils use filtration and evaporation as part of a purification process (distillation is carried out by the students in a separate Core Practical lesson). Full equipment lists are provided for the teacher demonstrations and class practical tasks. To go with this lesson you will need to download the free activity “SC2d Simple and Fractional Distillation cloze text worksheet”. All of the resources are easily accessible for students, simple to follow and appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

Full Lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on the reactivity of halogens and their displacement reactions. Prior to teaching this, you will need to have delivered lesson SC17b on the properties, appearances and reactions of halogens with metals. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers. You will also need to download my FREE resource “SC17c Halogen displacement method” from my TES shop.

Full Lesson PowerPoint (with engaging practical demonstration) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Group 1, the Alkali Metals. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.
