Chemistry
Periodic Table Worksheet Label and Colour
Scaffolded worksheet suitable for KS3 or GCSE (2 versions included, one for exam boards who don’t need to know that Group 2 are also known as the alkaline earth metals, and another version for those that do).
Fully completed, colour version is included.
Great task for a cover lesson.
Label and colour each section of the periodic table. Extension task - fill in the symbols for the first 20 elements.
BONUS - also includes a full periodic table colouring sheet for early finishers.
KS3 Chemistry Periodic Table Cover Lesson Activities
If you find yourself needing to cover a KS3 chemistry lesson, this bundle of no-prep activities will keep your class engaged in your absence. All your class will need is access to a periodic table, access to the internet (only for 1 of the worksheets) and a print-out of the desired activities.
What’s included?
A student-information sheet on the periodic table with a worksheet to complete (includes an extension task).
A ‘research an element’ worksheet. Either let students pick their own element or who ever is covering the lesson could use a random-word generator to assign each student a different element (students will need access to the internet for this activity).
A ‘mystery element’ quiz worksheet - solve the periodic table-based clues to find the mystery element.
A 10-question powerpoint periodic table quiz. Divide the class into pairs / small groups. Who can name an element named after a planet? Who knows an element which is magnetic? Any idea which country is named after silver?? (please note - in order to avoid formatting issues, the powerpoint slides are NOT editable)
All of these activities are suitable for a cover lesson as full answers are included.
Activities can be mixed and matched based on lesson length / class ability / prior knowledge of this topic.
GCSE Separate Science Past Paper Tracker Spreadsheet
I’ve been using the ‘past paper’ method for years with my students.
Students complete a past paper, mark and analyse their results using MARCKS and then write SMART targets to plan targeted revision sessions. If they don’t comfortably acheive their target grade in the first attempt, they are encouraged to repeat the past paper 2-3 days later (after having completed targeted revision).
I’ve found that giving students access to this editable spreadsheet has massively increased motivation to actually use the method properly and stick with it.
Students can select from drop down boxes to input their current grade for Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Then they input their target grade. Everytime they complete a past paper, they can input their mark, percentage & grade. The spreadsheet has space for 3 attempts at each paper. Finally at the end of each row, students can select whether they have achieved their target grade for that past paper or not.
This is designed for students studying separate sciences, a spreadsheet for trilogy students will be made available ASAP.
If you need to clear the text from a cell with a drop down box - DO NOT DELETE IT as this will delete the formatting for the cell. Just select ‘none’ from the drop down box.
Available as .numbers or .xlsx download.
This spreadsheet does NOT seem to work on iPads I’m afraid, but I have tested it on an iMac, macbook & a laptop running excel and the formatting appears to work properly.
GCSE AQA Chemistry Triple and Combined Sciences Paper 1 Revision Questions and Answers
Over 360 revision questions covering the Paper 1 Topics for AQA Triple and Combined Sciences. Also includes versions with blank answer spaces.
Concise
Includes diagrams
Mapped to the specification
Model answers based on extensive past paper analysis
Clear question & answer format to encourage active learning
Includes 6-mark exam-style required practical method questions, where relevant
Columns to mark each individual question as red, amber or green based on current understanding.
Triple only / higher tier only content is NOT on a grey background to distinguish it, all questions and answers are on a white background to allow students to highlight/add colour should they wish.
Designed to promote spaced repetition of topics throughout the GCSE teaching. Rather than revision notes, which encourage passive learning (because most students just read through them or copy them out), these questions and answers are designed to encourage active learning.
Triple and Higher Tier only content is marked, so these questions are suitable for all candidates.
Topics included in download:
Atomic structure and the periodic table
Bonding, structure and the properties of matter
Quantitative chemistry (with worked examples)
Chemical changes
Energy changes
Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same.

GCSE Chemistry AQA Required Practical Revision Sheets
AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all of the Chemistry Required Practicals (for triple science - higher tier).
Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions.
Each sheet includes an example method and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers.
The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate them with any further information as needed.
Also available as part of a bundle containing all of the required practicals for Biology, Chemistry & Physics AQA GCSE.
