2-3 engaging lessons that make learning the periodic table more accessible. Ideal for low to middle ability groups. Students begin with finding the location of elements in the periodic table using the grid references (print 2 slides per sheet to keep costs low and have couple of examples of elements to hand - Zinc, Copper, Carbon, Aluminium). Students then learn about the structure of atoms and link this to the layout of the periodic table. Students finish by drawing atoms and consolidating learning through a game of Atom Trumps.

Cross curricular activity involving English persuasive writing, comprehension, scientific investigation and data analysis skills. Students will debate the use of plastic packaging. Both sides of the argument are presented and the teacher can decide if they choose. Ideal for cross curricular (also citizenship and fund raising) or even a one off cover lesson. Requires printing of colour data sheets (3 A4 per group). Supporting PowerPoint with prompts. Lesson plan. All proceeds will go towards The War on Plastic fund:

Requires Microsoft PowerPoint. 150 Multiple choice questions from the new specification. If Macros are enabled when prompted at the start of the presentation, the powerpoint will mark itself and give feedback (topics of weakness and more specific question feedback). Could be used at the start and end of the year to measure progress. Students can print results on slide 52 and use the feedback for independent learning or homework. I hope this saves you lots of marking. I have included hard copies of the questions and answers in case the ICT lets you down or you want to use it for a cover lesson.

Students research factors for or against using regular cooking oil as a fuel source. Students present their findings to the group and the teacher is able to monitor any changes in attitude during the course of the lesson. Resources are accessible and presented using familiar scientific formats.

Students will learn to give examples of emulsions and will perform a practical activity to determine the best agents to create an emulsion. Basic ingredients needed and could be performed in plastic cups (test tubes are best). The worksheet allows students to structure their research and also self assess it at the end.

Flip cards to promote memory recall of the C1 chemistry topic. Ideal preparation for spotting areas of weakness and independent guided study. Students line out the cards and answer the question flipping the card to check the answer. Students MUST return to the start if they get the answer wrong (this is key to consolidating prior learning). Slide 3 is an extension activity where students come up with the questions to the answers provided. PRINT ONE COPY of slides 1-2 on both sides of A4. CHECK THAT THE BOXES LINE UP and adjust if required by moving one of the tables accordingly. Now print your class set and let the kids cut them out because this ensures a calm start to the lesson.

Question of sport number round style Quiz. Answer 3 key points from each topic image. People tend to recall facts and key information in 3's so it promotes memory. Can also be carried out as a test where students will not see the answers (using the test version included in this sale). The students could then self assess using thee quiz version.

Topic identifiers and thought provoking images. Use for Edexcel C1 topic. Designed to be printed on A3 paper. Print flip cards on A4 paper backed up (check alignment on first copy). Students cut these out and test themselves and others. Students must start again if they make a mistake (this aids recall). The final flip cards are blank for higher level learners to suggest the questions to the answers provided.

6 PowerPoint files each containing a tutorial on the 2018 spec most difficult topics including sample exam questions. This can be delivered as a lesson, a self guided revision activity or ICT cover lesson. Ideal for tutoring students online. Topics include: Limiting Reactants, Modelling the Atom, Homeostasis, Electromagnet, pressure and Excretion in humans. Links to the solo taxonomy to ensure progress is being made and new spec exam questions to assess student progress.

50 Quiz style questions assessing the new Edexcel chemistry specification. Self marking (if macros are enabled at the start) Highlights areas of weakness and suggests areas for further improvement. Powerpoint and student access to computers are required. A hard copy of questions is included for non specialists or for when the computers let you down. Ideal pre exam / revision / homework acitivity. Biology and Physics coming soon. AQA available now!

Revision in pictures covering the iGCSE Cambridge Spec. Recall and make links between topics. Microsoft PowerPoint.

Introduce ionic and covalent bonding using the animated PowerPoint. Get students to explain what is happening at each stage. Worksheet challenges students to recall electron arrangements for atoms and identify products of reactions. Finally students identify the type of bond formed. As an extension, students could give their own examples. This lesson should follow an introduction to atomic structure.

Perform the pH practical activity to test the suggested chemicals and / or display slide 3 for those that you cannot test. Print slide 2 for students who must colour the pH scale and place the chemicals alongside the periodic table. As a plenary ask students to record which chemicals will neutralise each other (e.g. wasp sting --> Bee Sting).

Practise a controlled assessment in a fun and engaging way. Simple safe practical requiring salt, cups, ice, thermometers and water. Train students to identify equipment, control variables and write a method. Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.
