This is a powerpoint to accompany a practical, and a teacher diagram drawing. Students recap what types of bonding there are, and is an opportunity for teachers to either plunge further into their recap or to use the standalone task. [whiteboards recommended] Students then introduced to idea of electrolysis, and are shown some examples of how it can be used in real life situations (slightly exaggerated). Two diagrams are on powerpoint for reference to draw on a whiteboard. Ideal opportunity to ask students questions as you go along, recapping ionic bonding essentially. Students then do an electroplating experiment. Suggestion copper (copper sulfate). This lesson is compatible with both the old and new chemistry GCSE, and is meant as only an introduction to the topic.

Pupils’ starting point, prior or prerequisite knowledge: Students should know that reactions give out heat. They may have come across those that get cooler, but unlikely. These terms are new, and some may know them, but it is not expected that they do. Possible misconceptions about: Endo/exo wording – remember by ex-it (ex-o); en-ter (en-do) Detail of key science concepts or skills: Endothermic reactions: require heat – so the overall temperature will go down Exothermic reactions: give out heat – so the overall temperature will go up Inquiry question/s: Chemical reactions may give out, or require heat. What are these types of reaction called? How does a handwarmer work? Pupil learning objectives/outcomes/success criteria: By the end of the lesson the pupils will be able to: To understand what exothermic and endothermic reactions are To draw a results table To safely carry out a practical, recording correct observations. To be able to name exothermic and endothermic reactions.

One of the required practicals to complete for the new AQA GCSE. Students complete a practical where they find out the concentration of an 'unknown' acid solution. This pack comes with a set of instructions, explanation on the calculations and a set of questions for them to complete on the second sheet.

Topic aimed at following on from reproduction in year 7/KS3. The worksheets are not all necessarily mine, or I have only slightly edited them - so this lesson string is a free resource.

This lesson focuses on balanced and unbalanced forces. Short recap on what forces are, and into a tutorial on how to draw force diagrams. What is a balanced force? What is an unbalanced force? What is the resultant force? A worksheet is provided with two sides!

This lesson covers the the Earth's atmosphere and early atmosphere, and consists of students completing two worksheets. Two copies of each sheet are provided in case you wish to print them at A5. A4 is recommended. This lesson is recommended to take at least 1hr 30 mins. Lesson ends with students answering an exam question. N.B: This sale is not for the exam question as this is copyrighted material, this question is provided for mere convenience.

This lesson is a one-off lesson to accompany Chapter 4 of the NEW AQA chemistry course, but could be used by anyone teaching how to work out and write salt formula. It goes through the ionisation of atoms, and how it is related to an atom's position in the periodic table (well the electrons in the outer shell). Keywords: Ionic Salt Acid Equation Symbol Ion Learning Objectives: Write equations for reactions of acids with metal hydroxides, oxides and carbonates Be able to name salts formed Write balanced symbol equations of salt formation
