A whole scheme of work consisting of the following lessons:
L01 - Atoms
L02 - Chemical Equations
L03 - Separating mixtures
L04 - Fractional distillation and paper chromatography
L05 - History of the atom
L06 - Structure of the atom
L07 - Ions, atoms and isotopes
L08 - Electronic structures
These lessons do link to one another, some of the starters test understanding from previous lessons. Where possible there are differentiated worksheets. These are available individually, but buying in bulk will save you £9
There are multiple choices in this resource.
1 - Guide students through the process using the Reflection powerpoint. They then create their own ray diagrams. There is an easy worksheet (Worksheet A3) and then a more difficult worksheet (Practical-Worksheet).
