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.

Pupils’ starting point, prior or prerequisite knowledge: KS2: Life cycles Pupils learn that plants and animals reproduce as part of their life cycle and that in every life cycle there are distinct processes and stages. They begin to understand how reproduction is important to the survival of the species. KS3: Previous lessons about pollination and structures of a plant. Possible misconceptions about: Seeds/pollen being the same thing All seeds need the same requirements (not sure going to go into that much detail) – all need the same basic requirements however. Detail of key science concepts or skills: Plants need air, water, warmth, and light to be able to grow. A seed has three main parts: embryo – the young root and shoot that will become the adult plant food store – starch for the young plant to use until it is able to carry out photosynthesis seed coat – a tough protective outer covering Inquiry question/s: What conditions are needed for seeds to germinate? What conditions are needed for plants to grow? Pupil learning objectives/outcomes/success criteria: By the end of the lesson the pupils will be able to: Objectives: • What do plants need to grow? • Which conditions are needed for germination to happen? Outcomes: • State the basic requirements for plant growth. • Describe the conditions needed for germination to happen. • Carry out an experiment to investigate the conditions needed for germination to happen.

Lesson plan, power point and worksheet to accompany the lesson. Lesson Objectives (Bloom’s) 1. Remember: Name the first four alkanes and alkenes 2. Apply and Understand: Draw the structural formula, and write the molecular formula of these compounds 3. Analyse: Explain the difference between an alkane and an alkene AQA Specification Points Covered 1. The first four members of the alkanes are methane, ethane, propane and butane. 2. Alkane and alkene molecules can be represented in the following forms: written molecular formulae, or displayed structural formulae 3. Alkenes are hydrocarbons with a double carbon-carbon bond. 4. The first four members of the homologous series of alkenes are ethene, propene, butene and pentene.

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 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.
