Temperature versus volume relationship (Charles’ law). T vs V relationship. 20 slide PPT lesson on Charles’ law. It covers: temperature, KE, the Kelvin scale, absolute zero, how to convert between Kelvin and degrees Celsius (centigrade) and vice versa. It then moves on to the relationship between temperature and volume and calculating temperatures and volumes using Charles’ Law. Also covers all the key language. Well organised and succinct with clearly made key points and well chosen images. This lesson explains the material in an easy to understand way. Provides an excellent ready to use lesson on this topic, or it can easily be adapted if you wish. UK KS4 and USA grades 9 to 11 (ages 13 to 16).

Many students get confused over Bonding and Properties So to help I have created this one single page in excel - which can be used as a handout to the class. The 1 pager covers: Metallic bonds, ionic bonds, covalent bonds, melting point, boiling point, conductivity, solubility. Happy Teaching Barclayfox

Super easy fun starters. No preparation or planning required. Simply choose one from those described - or let the class choose by projecting the 1 pager. Enough so you can use them with the same classes all year long. Not so many that you or your students get confused or cannot decide which to use. Save time this week – and every week !
