A lesson created for the maths department to use during science week, looking at graph work and relative formula mass. Can be used in science lessons too! Differentiated throughout. Learning Objectives: Describe what is needed to draw a graph Calculate the relative formula mass of compounds Analyse equations to work out the mass of unknown substances

The quiz is a great revision resource to promote students’ confidence prior to sitting the exam. The activity is suitable for both year 10 and year 11. It can be used as a classroom activity or an extended day

The lesson is a quick overview of all relevant content. The resource involves activities which will test understanding. The lesson is suitable for year 10 and year 11 lesson objectives To identify key groups in the periodic table To discuss the development of the atomic model To discuss the development of the periodic table

The lesson is an oveview of content. It involves a variety of activities to test understanding. The lesson is suitable for year 10 and year 11. Lesson objectives To recall what is meant by an atom, element, compound and mixture To identify elements, compounds and mixture To calculate the relative atomic mass

Two lessons, with one on Glass, ceramics and composites and another on rusting. Both differentiated throughout and exam questions included (with one scaffolded for support). The first lesson includes making different types of concrete by having different ratios of ingredients, with their strength to be tested at the beginning of the next lesson (rusting). Rusting lesson has an experiment to test the conditions needed for rusting to occur. Learning Objectives: Explain who ceramics are made Explain how different properties are related to their functions Compare the physical properties of glass, ceramics and composites Learning Objectives: Describe what rusting is and the factors that cause it to happen Explain how different methods can prevent rusting from occurring Justify why alloys are used

Lesson looking at the blast furnace and using displacement to extract the iron. Includes the experiment using a matchstick to extract iron (instructions in the lesson). Has a fantastic (in my opinion) plenary using Lego characters to answer questions. The students collect different strips of paper with different questions and Lego parts to construct a Lego character, the students loved it! DIfferentiated questions throughout. Learning Objectives: Describe the process of extracting iron Describe how carbon is used in a blast furnace to remove metal from its ore Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the process

These flashcards are based on fact recall for Chemistry paper 2. They are aimed at combined science students, but easily adapted for separate science students. They are a great activity for class, homework or extended days. Relevant for both year 10 and year 11 students

This activity assists students in planning selected Chemistry required practicals. Each practical has an overview with an equipment list as well as a student work sheet with cues. Suitable for use with years 9-11.

These flashcards are based on fact recall for Chemistry paper 1. They are aimed at combined science students, but easily adapted for separate science students. They are a great activity for class, homework or extended days. Relevant for both year 10 and year 11 students.

These sheets are to help students revise content from Chemistry Paper 1 (triology) that they need to know for the new GCSE specifications. They could be used with Year 10 or 11. Each sheet has differentiated questions. They could be used in lessons, for homework or in extended days for Year 11 students.

New GCSE lesson on rusting for the AQA syllabus. Previous lesson I had the students set up the practical (nails in different conditions) to be ready to look at in this lesson. Differentiated throughout and scaffolded exam question also provided for plenary or homework. Learning Objectives: Describe what rusting is and the factors that cause it to happen Explain how different methods can prevent rusting from occurring Justify why alloys are used

New GCSE lesson on chromatography for the AQA syllabus. Looks at calculating the retention factor of food colourings. Differentiation throughout and exam questions included. Learning Objectives: Describe what chromatography is Explain the steps in creating a chromatogram Calculate the retention factor of different food colourings

Collection of activities focusing on the calculations involved in the new GCSE Chemistry Paper 1 (AQA syllabus). Each topic is explained with examples and provides questions to attempt (answers also in the presentation). This could be used as revision or each subtopic slide used when planning individual lessons. Content: Calculating atomic mass RFM and % mass Atom economy RF values Conservation of mass Concentration of solutions Titration reaction Reacting masses Bond enthalpies

New GCSE lesson on cracking, explaining how the process works and why we do it for the AQA syllabus Learning Objectives: Describe the differences between alkanes and alkenes Explain what the process of cracking is and why we use it

New GCSE lesson on hydrocarbons and introducing alkanes to the students. When looking at the different properties of the different length hydrocarbon chains the practical demo I did was to show them 'short chain' alkanes and 'long chain' alkanes and compare the two. The students then wrote down the results a table which is shown in the lesson. Learning Objectives: Describe what crude oil is and where it has come from Draw out and identify alkanes using molecular and displayed formulae Explain the properties of different chain length alkanes

New GCSE lesson on fractional distillation and the fractions that are separated off. Before this lesson the class were given HW to research uses of the particular fractions, but you can alter the PowerPoint to introduce the information in the lesson. Worksheet included. Learning Objectives: Describe the fractions that are produced in fractional distillation Explain the process of fractional distillation Evaluate why fractions are used in relation to their properties

New GCSE lesson on Life Cycle Assessments for the AQA syllabus. Looking at writing LCAs for paper vs plastic bags and touching on a little recycling. Learning Objectives: Describe how LCAs are used Explain the drawbacks of LCAs Analyse how recycling can affect the environment
