A presentation to go with a practical activity to guide pupils through writing balanced symbol equations and half equations in order to identify oxidised or reduced chemical species in a displacement reaction

A presentation and worksheet guiding pupils through identification of the ions responsible for acidity and alkalinity and the ionic equations to describe the formation of water during neutralisation reactions. Neutralisation equations are also consider along with salt formation

A presentation and worksheet to take pupils through the idea that metals react differently with water and to relate the reactivity of metals to their tendency to form positive ions

A presentation with resources to teach the concept of the greenhouse effect and discuss the need for the natural greenhouse effect. Worksheet and information sheets are provided. This is lesson 4 in a series on the chemistry of the atmosphere, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

Leveled tasks on various chemistry topics suitable for KS3. Each presentation has 3 slides. Slide 1 is the pupil sheet, slide 2 contains the mark scheme and slide 3 has suitable comments to use give a target on how to improve scientific knowledge. Taken by an OFSTED inspector to give to a school as an example of good practice for a school in special measures

Fully resourced series of lessons on potable water. The concept of potable water is introduced with a practical. The way water is treated in the UK and desalination processes are covered. A couple of videos are embedded in the presentation and a linked question sheet in included. Teacher and technician notes along with student sheet are then included that have been adapted for the water required practical. If the embedded videos don't work there is a word document with the web address on

A fully resources lesson with PowerPoint, Worksheet, Assessment and Activity. The presentation discusses direct and indirect activities that add to a persons carbon footprint and some graphical analysis to compare different countries carbon footprint. Lesson 7 for the AQA chemistry of the atmosphere unit, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson.

A fully resources lesson on life cycle assessments. There are notes on the PowerPoint to help deliver the content / explain how to use the resources.

A fully resourced lesson about acid rain, including a practical to test how acid rain affects building materials. The presentation takes pupils through the definition, cause, effect and solutions. There are assessment opportunities supplied. This is lesson 8 in the AQA Chemistry of the atmosphere unit, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

A fully resourced lesson on the topic of complete and incomplete combustion. The concept of incomplete combustion is discussed and compared to complete combustion, before the environmental / human impact of each is considered. Lesson 6 in a series for the AQA chemistry of the atmosphere unit, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

An introductory lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. The concept of exothermic and endothermic reactions is introduced with an engaging practical. The presentation discusses the idea of conservation of energy and reactions converting heat and chemical energy. The lesson is fully resourced

A lesson with a quick on the draw activity. A video in embedded in the presentation and information sheets are provided as a reference source to find the answers to the activity. This is the second lesson in a series, but can be taught stand alone

A series of resources on bioleaching and phytomining. There is enough material for 2 or 3 lessons depending on lesson length. Plenty of opportunity for pupils to assess their own understanding and work in groups. All answers to activities are included in the presentation. The presentation takes pupils through both processes in a visual way before checking their understanding

A couple of presentation that teach pupils how to draw dot and cross diagrams to represent bonding in ionic compounds and to show how the ionic lattice is formed. The resource also contains worksheet to support the working out the formula of ionic compounds. A cut out activity based on ion charge can be used to support students

A fully resourced lesson about the properties of solids, liquids and gases and how the strength of the bonding influences properties

An introductory lesson to recap the structure of the atom and explain why some elements react. Pupils will also be taught hoe to identify the bonding present in a material based on the elements present in the formula. The describing atoms activity is completed by the teacher as pupils try to do the same with their given atom
