A double lesson on series and parallel circuits. It comes with a matching activity and does include practical aspects in the presentation, if you don't want to do them, just delete the slides.
Perfect for lower years.
A summary to help out with the quantitative chemistry (topic 6) for Edexcel Additional Science.
It has all of the equations they need, plus a walk-through and a question for them to try.
Obviously the black boxes aren't there!
A lesson which goes through electrolysis. It includes the various gas tests that are needed in chemistry.
It firstly explains what electrolysis is in a way that students can understand. It assesses this knowledge and goes on to the different gas tests that they need to know.
A resource to help you plan a lesson on the practical aspect of rates of reactions.
This resource will need to be explained, and therefore may not be useful for a non chemistry specialist.
Revision quiz for extracting and using metals. It has many rounds of questions and has all of the answers at the end. The questions vary from exam style to anagrams to spot the mistake.
A whole lesson on fractional distillation.
It includes the basics of hydrocarbons and has a fun activity where students need to utilise their memory skills in order to learn fractional distillation. Perfect for all abilities, I have found this lesson works really well.
A lesson very similar to my lesson on alkali metals. This time for the halogens.
Goes through the properties of the halogens, the reactivity and explains why this is the case. There are opportunities for AFL throughout.
A formative test on ionic compounds (interactive with answers)
It includes:
- 10 questions on naming ionic compounds from their elements.
- 10 questions on asking whether a compound is ionic or not.
- 10 Questions on naming the elements within an ionic compound.
All of these have answers.
There is also a summary table, asking whether different compounds are ionic or not.
Also a progress check which is pictured.
A highly rated lesson.
A lesson which covers the whole of topic 2 chemistry for the Edexcel specification of Additonal Science.
It can be run as a lecture/revision lesson as slides explain all the key exam points but have questions throughout.
This is a revision lesson for the new 9-1 GCSE chemistry course.
The aim of the lesson is for all students to go through the 13 specification points and write down what they know about them. Once this is done, students will colour in the first circle red or green (depending on their understanding).
They then go to the 13 stations around the room and take a small worksheet for each one they put red for (maximum of 8). This is stuck onto the A3 paper. After the lesson they put red or green in the second circle.
The revision sheets need to be on A3 paper in order to allow the sheets to be stuck on.
Each sheet will need to be placed at a station where there is a resource to help the students. These are numbered so question 1 is resource 1.
I have found this lesson to be extremely effective.
