This lesson is based on Edexcel's P2 topic 6 SOW and has a built in slide which can be printed off for students as ready made flashcards. It then encourages students to create a revision mind map linking up the different areas of the topic. Worked well with a low ability year 11 class.

In this lesson students apply their knowledge of calculating empirical formula by reacting known masses of magnesium with unknown masses of oxygen to make a known mass of magnesium oxide which they can then use along with relative atomic masses to calculate the ratio of oxygen to magnesium and in turn the empirical formula of magnesium oxide.

This lesson gets students to understand through experimentation how the basic safety features of a car work by increasing the time over which an accident takes place: . airbags .seatbelts . crumple zones Students play with force and momentum calculations to help explain the safety features. They start by calculating the force exerted on an egg when it hits a brick wall and when it hits a towel (best to go outside for this one). This lesson worked well for my low ability year 11 students as it was very visual for them and they could really relate to the content and examples.

An assembly for the year 11s whose year has been cut short.

This lesson is based on the new GCSE spec, but was designed for a low ability year 9 class. It breaks Newton's first law up in to more digestible chunks which are learning checked throughout. Save yourself sometime and grab a bargain!

This assembly starts by getting student to think about new years resolutions they made and probably failed at. It then goes through a more sustainable long term 5 year plan and what this might look like for students. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the academic year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it especially when students got involved. Save yourself some time this summer and grab a bargain.

This assembly grabs the students attention with the first slide asking them to vote whether or not school should start at 10am instead of 8.50. The assembly goes on to look at the arguments for and against and the current research that is going on in the uk at the moment with 100 test school. I went on to tell them that unfortunately we haven't been selected for the trial but its findings could impact us. I then went on to say that until then they should take note of the sleep scientists top tips for a good night sleep which includes the science of blue light from mobile phone screens and its effect on the sleep hormone melatonin. This powerpoint lasts around 15minutes. Enjoy.

Lesson 1 is based around flame tests for various cations Lesson 2 is based around precipitation reactions for various anions Each lesson was created for a triple science top set class and lasted an our each. Each has regular learning checks and opportunities for independent work. Save yourself some time and hassle and grab yourself a bargain.

Please find a whole lesson I taught on velocity time graphs which is designed for the new GCSE specification. Enjoy

Lesson 1 focuses on a practical testing various cations apart from ammonium ions Lesson 2 focuses on a practical testing a variety of fertilisers to see if they contain ammonium ions All worksheets and notes for technicians are provided. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

In this lesson students are given a range of cards with select information about different elements, just as Mendeleev had. They are then set the task of arranging the cards in anyway they see fit. They then look at how Mendeleev arranged them and used them to make predictions about missing elements which the students then do. The lesson concludes with a six mark question on how the periodic table is arranged. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson encourages students to question different aspects of the periodic table such as groups and periods and investigate patterns in properties of elements. All worksheets provided within power point except a periodic table which can easily be sourced online. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

I printed these cards of for students with corresponding pages in the Edexcel additional science book (purple one) and got them to answer the questions accordingly and in turn making their own flash cards. They then whole punched the corners and treasury tagged them together. Great little revision resource.

This assembly has a focus on the RAOK challenge - random acts of kindness and is planned to be around 15 minutes long. I played the video at the start to keep the students engaged as they entered and it worked really well. Half way through there is another video where people are asked if one person can change the world. My head boy and girl then took over reading a script provided, telling the story of a "RAOK" movement called the karma army (this could quite easily be done by yourself). The assembly concludes with ways in which the students can carry out random acts of kindness and also looking at school charities. Hope this is useful and saves you some time.

I used this assembly last September with my school assembly and it went down really well with the students really captivated by the story of David Phillips who managed to collected 1.25million air miles by buying puddings (look the story up on google - worth a read). Essentially, the powerpoint which lasts around 15minutes goes through David's story but then uses it as an analogy for "life miles" which they collect when they attend school, it goes through how to collect more " life miles" and shows you what you can buy with them which is essentially choices like university, dream jobs, travelling the world. Save yourself some time and effort and get this ready to use off the shelf assembly. Thanks for looking Jon

This lesson is intended for GCSE students at looks at what the atomic number and atomic mass tell us about the atom. It also looks at the idea of isotopes.

In this lesson students are challenged at 3 levels (lower, middle, higher) which is assessed throughout the lesson. Once the baseline has been assessed there differentiated worksheets for the lower ability to work with you on, a framed middle ability sheet to give them more practice on their own and a higher ability sheet to stretch the most able. Everything is built into this lesson, so grab yourself a bargain and save some time.

This is an introductory lesson to the concept of conservation of mass where students investigate what happens to the mass of water when salt is added to it. They then have to try and explain why the mass goes up despite not being able to see the salt anymore. Self contained lesson that really got the students engaged. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson revolves around a practical where students have to experimentally determine which site of salt production presents the best yield of salt. Students then use their results to calculate the concentration in g/dm. This is then built on in the following lesson to calculate mol/dm. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.
