I use this for lesson 1 of Unit 1 organic chemistry - progressing to isomerism in second lesson.

this w/s has 3 sections: 1/ questions on transition metals 2/ gcse organic chemistry 3/ the cosmetics industry I used this with my top set year 11s as a lesson and h/w

a class it project, where pupils are divided into groups and given sub projects. They research and produce a project, which then then present back to the class - who assess each other.

Fill in sheet used to recap the different types of bonding and their properties.

glossary to confirm understanding of how periodic table can be used to work out number of subatomic particles. test to check understanding marksheet for peer assessment

PowerPoint/Lesson plan going through the structure of an atom. Aim is to understand how the periodic table can be used to calculate numbers of sub atomic particles in particular elements.

lesson plan for medeleev lesson - students watch link, making notes on mendeleev and then create a radio interview with the scientist, explaining what he did. This works really well!

this is a worksheet where pupils use a description of distillation of air to annotate a diagram. There is also a help sheet for less able students.

Can be used as a starter for a revision lesson or a 10 minute plenary at the end of a lesson. Includes questions on alkanes, alkenes and cracking.

Practical helpsheets (foundation and higher) to get pupils thinking and planning their own emulsion practical - can get messy!

This PowerPoint is used to start discussion about how ring species are formed. It is short, but contains 2 examples, including photos, to help with explanations. I usually do the explanation and then get pupils to write their own description of how they form - this work can then be quality marked.

a powerpoint presentation. Learning outcomes: To recognise why living organisms are grouped together; To know the names of the different ‘kingdoms’; To understand the issues surrounding the classification some organisms

A fun homework where pupils research what a virus is and then write a poem about it - always gets interesting results!

This is a h/w or IT task with the outcome of compare and contrast the types of bond/properties in the different carbon giant lattice compounds. The idea is to get the pupils talking about how the intermolecular/intramolecular forces affect the properties and uses of the different compounds. I have also included a quality marksheet.

This work can be done either as an extended h/w or class project as you go through the topic. The idea is that at the end of the topic the pupils have a self made revision resource. the idea is to produce an analysis booklet with anion and cation tests, which can be used in an 'unknown compound' practical assessment lesson. I have also attached a quality marking scheme.
