To get the pupils to learn atomic structure we made models of atoms using sweets if they make them on paper with clean hands they can eat them afterwards. We used white and milk chocolate buttons as the protons and neutrons and martians as the electrons with strawberry bootlaces to show the outer elcetron shells, the pupils understood the concept so well we went on to building atoms of oxygen and berylium as well to discuss how the shells fill up, a picture of their models is included and then we evaluated their models and the effectiveness of the model using the sheet attached

some cell structure worksheets of different levels of demand these make a good starter

This is the planning for all of the core GCSE chemistry for the new edexcel core GCSE science.

A worksheet discussing the different stages of a rockets motion from take off to returning to ground, has forces labelled and stages and diagrams for pupils to sequence, once they have completed this you can remove some of the cards and ask the pupils to reproduce the information from memory to check learning.

cut out the arrows attached to the worksheets and the arrows are different sizes each pupil can have a different stage of the batcycle in motion there mission is to, put the force arrows on and describe whether the batcycle forces are balanced or unbalanced in the box that says my ideas, can be easily differentiated by giving less able students the picture of a stopped batcycle and the more able ones a cycle that is accelerating
