Introduction to Aldehydes Activity Included in this resource: Information page - This page covers the structure, bonding, naming, reactivity, oxidation, reduction and physical properties of aldehydes to an introductory level. It is a simple overview of aldehydes for a first time learner. Prior knowledge on hydrocarbons and atomic structure e.g. electrons and electronegativity is required, however no prior knowledge on aldehydes is required to access the material. Question sheet - This page includes questions directly linked to the information page. Students extract knowledge from the information page and build on concepts e.g. naming aldehydes, identifying trends and commenting on bonding and reactivity. Answer page - The answer page answers all the questions present in the question sheet. Ideal for independent, student-led work (i.e. could be used for a substitute teacher) as all the information and answers are present in the resource. No accompanying books or presentations are required - no further preparation needed. File included: 3 page A4 document

Atomic Structure and Bonding Definitions Task Cards This resource includes 2 packs of task cards (20 task cards in each). Both sets include the same keywords and each require students to define the keywords. There are 4 task cards per side of A4. Simply print and give to your students. No further prep is required. Lower ability set: This set has ‘power words’ included which are three related words that students must use in their definitions. This provides students with a writing framework to help them build their definitions. Higher ability set: This set does not include power words and relies of students accessing their own knowledge of atomic structure and bonding to write definitions.

Chemical Bonding Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the chemical bonding unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around ionic, simple covalent, giant covalent and metallic bonding, with a selection of questions from each bonding type. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Which types of elements undergo covalent bonding? Why do simple covalent substances have a low boiling point? Describe how positive and negative ions are held together Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.

This is a WHOLE YEAR resource for key stage 3 science. There are 52 pages of keyword task sheets. All words fit the current British KS3 syllabus e.g. reproduction, gravity, ecosystem, magnetic, planet, reaction, molecule, atom, plant cell etc. There are also 6 pages of template task sheets, should you wish to print off and add your own keywords. The task sheets are differentiated - they appeal to all types of learner and are ideal for mixed ability classes. Very bright and engaging too! The task sheets can take up to 30 minutes to complete and they are ideal for classwork or homework. The files included are in Powerpoint (for easy editing) and PDF (for quick printing). Please feel free to ask any questions before purchasing.
