aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Put atom structures in the correct order thinking back to last lesson Main – Work through work sheet in steps. To ensure maximum understanding Chase the element – race task to find out what each element around the room is, identifying proton neutron and electron number and matching it with an element on the periodic table Make a model of an atom using string, and card (cut card into circles use string to attach them together) Plenary Tweet what you’ve learnt tday

Aimed at foundation students targets of level 4 Starter: differentiated bronze/silver/gold starter based on previous lessons in the topic, answers on following slide Main: Watch video, write a list of as many problems form global warming think, pair, share: what is a a carbon footprint - write defintion discuss what the different countries of the world are trying to do to combat global warming Students fill in an information sheet from what they have learnt, differentiated extension questions with answers if students complete Plenary: higher or lower, interactive, do you think the following country has a higher or lower level of renewable energy use

aimed at a mixed ability class Starter: differentiated starter questions, with answers on following slide Main: mini debate to start, 6 statemenets rate from 1-5 on 1 being comfortable 5 being completely against. Students watch video to hear some viewpoints about the use of stem cells. students then are given one statement so they either need to argue for or against stem cell research using their knowledge from the video and from the information sheets Whole class debate Finally summarise the points on the board into two columns, one for stem cell research one against stem cell research Plenary: exam question

Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter: reflect on previous diffusion practical Main: explain surface area:vol, do practic equestions and mark do research task to explain how surfaces are specialised extension: checkpoint follow ups from kerboodle Plenary" tweet what theyve learnt

Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class. Some worksheet from other areas on TES Starter Stick in objective sheets for this topic, also stick in common formulae sheets 6 true or false questions – green pen mark Main – Think, pair, share – what is an atom? Share ideas, write a sentence to explain what an atoms is. Extension task to label an atoms (level 6 objective) but there is a lesson on the structure of the atom later in this topic Copy definitions for element/compound/mixture onto worksheet. Then cut up pictures and decide if they are a compound element of mixture Extension: find the element to spell the cartoon characters worksheet Identify atoms/elements and name formula worksheet  - green pen mark Extension: write the name of the formulae Plenary Whiteboards out, write down the symbol for the elements I shout

Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Worksheets are from TES Starter Activity Answer starter questions Main – Go through state symbols, make a note of what each means Explain the conservation of mass – need to write down the defintions Stretch: why do some reactions appear to gain/lose mass Go through steps on how to balance equations. Supporting worksheets to build up. Make sure there is an emphasis on what the ‘big’ and ‘little’ numbers mean. Do examples at each step, then get students to complete the rest Extension sheet of harder equations to balance for students flying through Plenary Plenary – make rules for balancing equations

aimed at mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Differentiated Bronze/silver/gold questions from previous lesson Main – Think, pair, share – how big is an atom. Copy down the size of an atom and nucleus intho their books Copy key words need to be able to define ion and isoptope for level 4 Explain that atoms can lose or gain electrons. And what happens if they do. Students make notes on this, then go through a few examples.
