Edexcel Combined Science CC8eAlkalis and neutralisation. This powerpoint starts with a quick recap of previous lessons, followed by looking at neutralisation and what happens to the ions involved. Neutralisation in action is discussed and then students are guided through how to make a pure, dry soluble salt from alkalis using titrations. The plenary can be printed off and laminated to make a card sort if desired.

This is the sixth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Drawing graphs’ and allows students to learn how to draw graphs accurately. Depending upon whether students managed to get results from last lessons investigation you may want to extend this lesson further by getting them to draw graphs of their own results. The presentation should be self explanatory

This is the fifth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Investigations’ and allows students to undertake an investigation early in the year. I have included an investiagtion title page for Y7,8,9,10 and 11 ( please look in the notes section at the bottom of the powerpoint to find out which is most suitable) . I have not included many details of the investigations as the point is for the students to do this for themselves. This may take 2 lessons depending upon the ability of the students in the class. The presentation should be self explanatory . The next lesson is ‘Drawing graphs’

This is the fourth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Visiting Variables’ and guides students how to identify independent, dependent and control variables in different scenario’s. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a series of 4 slides that I print out and laminate to hand out as part of the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Investigations’

This is the third lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Using the Bunsen Burner’ and names the different parts of the Bunsen Burner, Shows students how to safely use the Bunsen Burner and the difference between the safety flame and the heating flame. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a story card that i laminate to hand out as part of the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Visiting variables’

This is the second lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Meet the Equipment’ and introduces common equipment in a Science lab, how to draw them and discusses choosing the right equipment for the job. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a worksheet to go with the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Using the Bunsen Burner’.

This is the first lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Safety in Science’ and introduces science rules, the need to follow them and introduces the new style hazard symbols also. The presentation is self explanatory and there is a card sort to go with the lesson. The next lesson is ‘Meet the Equipment’.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8b Looking at acids - higher students. This powerpoint starts with practice at converting between cm3 and dm3 and vice versa. (Maths skills - converting units) It looks at the difference between strong and weak acids and concentrated and dilute acids. It also discusses the ions in solution and how they relate to pH. (Maths skill - factors)

Edexcel Combined Science CC8d Alkalis and balancing equations.This powerpoint starts off with looking at some common alkalis and how to name salts formed from alkalis reacting with acids. It then guides the student through how to write word and balanced symbol equations in easy to follow steps with plenty of examples to practice.

A stand alone presentation about writing word and symbol equations. This can be used during revision sessions or as part of topic Edexcel CC8 acids and bases. I have used it as a refresher at the start of year 11 too. The booklet that accompanies the presentation can be used in conjunction with the powerpoint or as a stand alone refresher/revision tool at any time during KS4. I often use it as a homework for year 11.

An introduction to basic quantitative analysis including making standard solutions, titrations and using titration results in calculations. The presentation can be used as a stand alone lesson when revising or used in conjunction with the booklet when teaching this topic.

OCR AS Oxidation numbers presentation and associated worksheets used in the presentation. I get the students to print off the oxidation rules and laminate them for reference in their files rather than continually turning back. Thanks for looking.

This is a stand alone presentation I use for after school revision throughout the year to show students how to approach calculations involving moles. The slides can be adapted or quantities changed each week so that students practice new problems each time.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8c Bases and Salts. This powerpoint starts by looking at naming salts made from metal oxides and acids. It explains what happens to the ions during salt formation and then guides students as to how to make a soluble salt in preparation for the core practical next lesson.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8a Acids and Indicators. This presentation includes details on hazard symbols and their meaning, acids, indicators, pH and ions in acids and alkalis. It also includes the practical for testing indicators with solutions of different pH (CC8a.1) the reference to worksheet CC8a.3 refers to the Edexcel published worksheets.

A lesson on Global Warming for year 8. Also included is the student mat and placemat. This was designed for an interview lesson to reduce the need for using books. It was rated as an outstanding lesson.

A lesson introducing the control of blood glucose levels. This lesson mentions both types of diabetes but does not go into details of treatments. The practical I did was with clinistix and I have included the 3 solutions I used in the notes section of one of the slides. However, you could use Benedicts solution to test for sugar if you would prefer. This is a whole lesson with the starter, lesson plan and some exam questions taken fro various exam boards all included.

A powerpoint and lesson plan for introducing oxidation numbers to year 12 chemistry students.

A lesson to introduce ionic bonding to year 11. This should be followed up by more lessons that go into more detail on each section. This could also be used as a revision of ionic bonding before the exams!
