An excellent resource which incorporates dual coding and simplifies AQA GCSE combined science syllabus to help pupils understand how atoms turn into ions and how to show ionic bond formation through dot and cross diagrams. The learning questions covered: How do atoms form into ions? How are groups linked to the formation of ionic compounds? How do you draw dot and cross diagrams to show how ionic bonds have formed? The lesson incorporates scaffolded learning to help pupils build a bigger picture about atoms, ions and bonds using the Periodic table. There are plenty of opportunities to model dot and cross diagrams before encouraging the class to attempt exam practice by themselves.

A powerpoint that covers the following AQA Combined Science Chemistry Paper 1 content with exam style questions and prompts on how to answer exam questions using dual coding. Group 7 trends and displacement reactions History of the atom Working out protons, electrons and neutrons Isotopes and relative atomic mass Reactions of metals with water and acid Properties of metals Half equations and ionic equations Neutralisation reactions and temperature change (RP) How to make salts from insoluble bases (RP) Reaction profiles and bond energy calculation Strong and weak acids It is ideal to use to teach Year 10s and Year 11s. Highly recommend.

A PowerPoint resource which covers the following learning questions: Why is it important to consider health and safety rules in a Science lab? What do warning signs mean? How do you protect yourself from a hazard? How can different lab equipment become hazardous? Includes worksheets to support the learning. Excellent resource which incorporates dual coding to help pupils structure their sentences and prompt them on using keywords. Ideal to use for Year 7’s when they first start or even as a quick health and safety reminder lessons to other year groups. Please leave me a feedback on how you found it using this resource. Thank you. :)

Lessons that cover the following learning questions: What is meant by rates of reaction? What happens to particles when you increase the rate of reaction? What is meant by activation energy? What does a reaction profile show? How do different factors affect the rate of reactions? What is collision theory? How do different factors affect the rate of reactions? How does a catalyst affect rate of reaction? Describe an experiment to investigate this chemical change How do you calculate the energy change for the reaction? How does surface area affect rate of reaction?

A lesson that covers revision and exam practice. Includes content that covers the following learning questions: What does a diagram of a substance show? Can you write the chemical names for some simple compounds? How do you identify the elements in a molecule? What is the difference between atoms, elements and compounds? Why does the mass change in a chemical reaction?

This resources is designed at using dual coding to help build pupil’s memorty retrieval. It is a fantastic resource to use for both revision and to teach new content. There are 4 lessons which cover the following learning objectives: LESSON 1 What is a neutralisation reaction? What is universal indicator used for? What do hazard symbols mean? How do you produce pure dry crystals from a base and an acid? LESSON 2 How do you produce pure dry crystals from a base and an acid? What types of ions are released by acids and alkalis? How is the reactivity series related to making soluble salts? How do you name salts formed? **Lesson 3 What is the pH scale and how do you identify the pH of a substance? What is the difference between alkalis and bases? How is the reactivity series related to making soluble salts? How do you name salts formed? How do you calculate uncertainty? Lesson 4 What are exothermic and endothermic reactions? How do you investigate temperature change? How do you balance symbol equations? How do you write ionic equations? How do you reduce risks and hazards when using chemicals?

This resource contains a PPT which covers all these key learning questions: What is filtration? How do you filter a mixture? How does filtration work? Why is filtration useful? This resource can be use for independent remote learning from home or to use a teaching tool to deliver whole class lesson.

This resource contains a PowerPoint that talks you through the steps on how to carry out a scientific investigation. It covers: Intro on diffusion Hypothesis Variables Equipment list Risk assessment Method Results Analysis - Graphs Conclusion - what do your results show? Evaluation It walks pupils through how to scale and draw graphs and how to interpret data. It’s perfect for KS3 and for lower ability pupils at KS4. The resource contains videolinks and APP assessment grid for pupils to self assess.
