A great challenging activity, split your class into 6 groups, print out on six different colours of paper and gove each group the relevant cards for each scientist in a different colour. My medium ability year 7s were able to delegate tasks within their groups and so complete the whole puzzle in less than 10 minutes - meaning they could then answer the questions on the main card. Includes; Rutherford, Bohr, Democritus, Dalton, Thompson and Higgs so that dates go right up until October 2013, covering 2500 years of chemistry history.

Display sheets for a DIY Periodic table, organised by group to make it easier to print onto coloured paper.

Includes: Gold star questions for stretching able students to apply their learning. Plant cell models homework. Keyword word search and synthesis tasks.

Pupils split into two groups ( a higher and lower ability group) each pupil in the lower ability group uses the information provided to write a letter to the CEO of a multinational oil company posing as a member of greenpeace. Pupils need to explain their concerns about the effects of using hydrocarbons on the environment. The other half of the class pose as CEOs of the company. Engagement, literacy, challenge, AQA C1 Chemistry, polymers, acid rain carbon dioxide, global warming, global dimming, sulfur dioxide, polymers, fractions of crude oil

In this activity plan you will find the SOC codes to import my quiz to your Socrative room. this quiz is designed for introducing the software to KS3 or 4 groups or to colleagues to enable them to also take advantage of this great resource. This is a great resource that you can use with the whole class as starters, plenaries. ! If you are not familiar with Socrative, I explain the key steps of this great interactive teaching tool.

Equipment is distributed around the room as per the equipment on each of the activities. Pupils are split into groups and given 5-10 minutes at each station to carry out the experiment as per the instructions and evaluate how good it is at testing the strength if magnet. Pupils will be able to talk about ( in their own words) judgement, reliability, accuracy and wether or not these are fair tests - all whilst reinforcing their experiences with magnets. I print and laminate the sheets and add my own diagrams with marker to suit the equipment available in the particular school/lesson.

Simple stickers for my year 7s, placed in books when pupils are able to explain how to use equipment safely or accurately. Nice skinner technique.

Pupils analyse a diet of an olympic rower, and then apply what they have learned to developing their own diet plan for another athlete. Topics covered; Food groups Reasons for nutrients Obesity anorexia healthy diet

Have a class set of these printed on stiff paper and laminated for a brilliant and fun assessment tool useful time and again when looking at different types of bonding and atomic structure. Either use both sides for a differentiated resource or use just the side you need and leave the other side blank to allow further closed questioning.

Covers all of Chem1 These forms are designed to allow you to print for your students so they can self assess what they know against the required specification. **UPDATE** interactive form versions included in the link so you can edit and send the forms to your pupils digitally. Each form only takes pupils a few minutes to fill out and are much quicker than traditional Red/amber/green self assessments. Ideally complete after the lesson is taught, at the beginning of any revision period and at the end of a revision session.assessments.
