Included in the resource: ‘Label the periodic table’ worksheet ‘Key features of the periodic table’ worksheet Answer sheets for both worksheets These are useful introductory worksheets for teaching the periodic table. Worksheet 1: Students label the periodic table based on the words listed. They must also identify what a ‘group’ is and what a ‘period’ is. Students can also identify which regions of the periodic table are metals, non-metals and metalloids. Worksheet 2: Students answer questions on four key regions of the periodic table (alkali metals, halogens, noble gases and transition metals). The questions are based around properties, reactivity and uses. Please see the preview included. Please note that some of my resources may include American spellings.

Halloween Science Foldables Simple to make, Halloween themed science foldables! Review key general science themes with a Halloween spin. The three foldables in this resource are set up in A4 format, are print ready and come with an accompanying answer key. There is an instructions box in the corner of each foldable too, to prompt children. The foldables can be applicable for a number of different grades as they draw on general science principles and can be used as a fun, science activity as Halloween approaches. Included: A Skeleton and bones foldable with answer page This foldable includes simple questions on bones and the human skeleton. Children don’t require a great deal of knowledge of the skeletal system to complete this. Some of the questions can be ‘best guess’ style (e.g. How many bones do you think an adult skeleton has?) whilst others draw on key science principles (e.g. Which mineral keeps bones healthy?). A cauldron chemicals foldable with answer page The cauldron foldable focuses on simple chemicals and mixtures questions (e.g. What is a mixture? How would you separate sand and water?) A pumpkin foldable with answer page The pumpkin foldable includes questions which draw on science themes around food groups, plant pollination and energy (e.g. pumpkin plants have both male and female parts, how is pollen transferred between these parts?)

This is great cut and paste resource outlining the chemical tests used to identify the gases: oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine and carbon dioxide. It is bold, hands on and summarises everything your students need to know about gas testing. Also included… ANSWER sheet. I have found this resource to be a great follow up activity to a practical or demonstration.

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

I have used this set of three resources in an ionic bonding lesson for three years in a row now to much success. They work really well as a trio, building up student understanding over the course of the lesson.

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.

Atomic Structure Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the atomic structure unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around the charges, weights and locations of subatomic particles in the atom. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Describe the mass of an electron compared to a proton What do atoms become when they gain or lose electrons? What is the charge of a proton? 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).
