Science House Chemical Bonding Full Unit This Chemical Bonding resource is a full unit worth of lesson plans and resources. There are seven lessons included within the unit. This includes an assessment with relevant marking material and student reflection. The unit is student focused with each lesson organised into the sections: starter activity, main activity 1, main activity 2 and summary activity. The seven lessons included: Atomic Structure and Recap Ionic Bonding Simple Covalent Bonding Giant Covalent Bonding Metallic Bonding Chemical Bonding Summary Chemical Bonding Assessment There is a variation of resources including: Lesson PowerPoints - structured and designed to be accompanied by teacher-class discussion as well as board work. Entrance activities - entrance tickets, word puzzles, draw and describe activities and definition sheets. Main activities - information extraction, circus activities, exam style questions, match up and station activities. Summary activities - learning mat, definition check, task cards, task boxes, keywords and exit tasks. A full lesson plan is provided for each lesson and there are additional teacher instructions provided with relevant activities as well as comprehensive answer sets where required. The lesson plans include the learning points of each lesson which can be shared with students upon arrival. The unit is designed to be an engaging way to teach chemical bonding and a break from ‘chalk and talk’ teaching. There is a lot of emphasis on student active learning and independent work. The range of activities suits mixed ability classes and offers more of an opportunity for teacher movement and discussion with students whilst they are working. All work is prepared to fit A4, PDF style and requires no further preparation. Please view the preview for a full understanding of what the unit involves.

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.

Respiratory System Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the cell unit unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around the organs and their functions in the respiratory system as well as gas exchange. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: What is the name of the process by which oxygen enters the blood? What are the small air sacs in the lungs called? Which muscle facilitates inhaling and exhaling? 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’.

Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Which cell components are specific to only plant cells? Which cell component is linked to respiration? What is the role of the nucleus? 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).

Included in the resource: 15 circuit component information sheets (2 per A4 sheet) Including component name, electrical circuit symbol and it’s role in an electrical circuit. Examples: fuse, switch, bulb, diode, thermistor, resistor, battery etc . . . A student information collection table Used to gather the information from the sheets in one place. Students are advised to fill in the table as far as they can, then use the information sheets for assistive learning. This resource is ideal for a student focused approach to teaching electrical circuit symbols. I print off the information sheets and stick them around the classroom. Students can then roam around with their collection tables and fill them in as they pass each information sheet or ‘collection point’. Practical, keeps the students engaged and no further preparation required. Just print!

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.
