The worksheet for making compounds is to be used during a practical lesson where Mg, Cu and Iron wool are heated in air.

I designed this quiz to engage lower ability pupils. It is used to assess their progress in a fun way at the end of the Rocks topic. Pupils are given a sheet to note down their answers and this can be stuck into their exercise books afterwards. When you are ready to mark, the quiz can become interactive. In Section A, pupils double click on the correct answer and will hear a response identifying whether the answer is correct or incorrect. In Section B, the answer appears on screen. I have used the 'Flintstones' font. You can download it easily using google to search for it. Have fun!

These are level descriptors I have written for the new GCSE levels 1-9. They cover planning, collecting and recording results and drawing graphs. You will find them very useful for developing assessments and levelling pupil's work.

Two worksheets which have been designed to thoroughly assess pupil’s understanding of how to place electrons in ions, work out the charge and show how an ion should be represented in a drawing.

I found this flash animation free on the internet and it was one of the best finds I've ever had. You can use it in any lesson when giving pupils 30s thinking time during quizzes. I hope you get as much enjoyment as I have with my classes.

A worksheet for pupils to demonstrate their understanding of how to calculate percentage mass of an element.

Questions on one side of the table and answers on the next so students can fold the paper in half and test themselves. Covers foundation level C2 additional science for AQA.

This activity was designed to teach and then thoroughly assess students understanding to identify elements in compounds, count the number of different elements and atoms and name the compounds. There are 3 powerpoints to use along with information cards and a detailed worksheet activity. This is excellent for KS3 and as revision in KS4.

Assess pupil’s ability to represent metal and non metal ions by drawing the electron arrangement and charge.

This resource is to be used over two lessons. Pupils will learn how to draw metal and non metal ions in a carefully structured way, using co-operative learning techniques. All pupils will be engaged. I have included all of the worksheets I use including mark schemes. Homework task plus mark scheme is also included.

This is two lessons worth of resources, enabling you to teach covalent bonding in a methodical manner which your pupils will enjoy. The lessons have been designed to engage pupils, based on co-operative learning strategies. I have included ALL of the resources you need from worksheets to diagrams and markschemes on the powerpoint itself. Enjoy!
