45 CHEMISTRY lesson openers for your powerpoint needs! A collection of DO NOW activities for chemistry lessons (age range 11 to 14, though it can work for some GCSE lessons too), all on one powerpoint! A DO NOW is any activity that you have at the very beginning of class that helps you set the tone for that day. The powerpoint is fully linked to a menu and animated where appropriate. It's very much a download-and-use resource. There is a rationale slide and how to use/things to avoid slide as well. There are 45 different activities that can be used as starters (or plenaries if you like) covering chemistry topics below: States of matter Changes of State Dalton and the Atom Atoms, Elements, & Compounds Chemical Symbols Conservation of Mass Pure Substances Mixtures Diffusion Filtration Evaporation Distillation Chromatography Identifying Pure Substances chemical Reactions Chemical Equations Combustion Thermal Decomposition Oxidation Displacement Energy changes Exothermics Endothermics Physical Properties Chemical Properties Mendeleev Periods & Groups Metals & Non-metals The pH of Metals & Oxides Reactivity Series Carbon Extraction Ceramics Polymers Composites Earth Composition Earth Structure Igneous Rock Sedimentary Rock Metamorphic Rock Rock Cycle Recycling The Carbon Cycle Atmospheric Composition CO2 Climate Change Generic Choice Starter

A lesson on energy conservation for GCSE Physics. Designed for AQA 2016 but transferable to OCR , EDEXCEL. Students begin by simply naming energy forms They learn the law of energy conservation (with prompt questions) They then complete an energy carousel (or simply fill out the sheet if you like) Then they learn about wasted energy, energy units, and energy transfer diagrams. Students calculate and complete missing values. Then they learn about Sankey diagrams. To finish, they draw and interpret a Sankey diagram using given info. As always, answers are on the slides. Please leave a review.

A festive powerpoint lesson on physics equations for GCSE students. Ten taxing questions and some fun nerdy facts about Santa to keep those physics classes busy before christmas. Excellent end of term lesson for higher sets or just to fill a gap. There's even a *unit to value* starter. All answers are revealed on the slides. Equations are: v=d/t, a=(v-u)/t, W=mg, f=1/t, E=mgh, Ek = 0.5mv2 - rearrangement to v F=ma I=V/R E=QV Q=It

A powerpoint lesson on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, Binary Stars, and nuclear fusion.

A powerpoint about measuring distance in space. Covers radar, cepheids. supernovae, red shift. Includes worksheet

A powerpoint on effect of surface area on rates of reaction with supporting exam questions worksheet.

A powerpoint which considers structure, rotation, orbital characteristics, Van-Allen belt, and distinctive lunar features, for curious, high ability students. Designed for a discussive lesson. One activity that could be done is to use a labelled photo of the moon to teach the order of the Mares, which my students enjoyed immensely.

A powerpoint which provides detailed notes on the planets of our solar system. There are reading activities within the powerpoint, but the lesson should be discussive. Primarily aimed at curious, high ability students.

A powerpoint covering the following objects in our solar system: Moons Asteroids Comets Meteors

A consideration of how the sun is powered via nuclear fusion. Can be used with interested students, A level students, or a high ability GCSE class.

A powerpoint lesson which explores the future of space travel. Designed to simply promote discussion with an interested class and get the students thinking.

A basic powerpoint lesson on force = mass x acceleration. Starter - Discussion on laws of motion Share Equation and practice Qs Gravity, mass & weight Practice Qs

A trio of DART activities for GCSE physics, but could be used with higher level earlier years.

Used for a successful interview lesson (1hr). Learning Objectives: Know names and formulae of common acids and alkalis Explain qualitatively what weak and strong acids are Predict the outcomes of neutralisation reactions, including writing balanced symbol equations Includes: differentiation extension activities exam questions answers for everything (which is always nice)

Matches spec ref: 4.2 Organisation (4.2.2.4) and old spec B3 This is part 2. See Artificial organs lesson for part 1. Dave is back and he's in trouble. Learning Objectives: Know what artificial blood is Know some of the advantages and disadvantages of types of artificial blood Know what a stent is, how it works, and its purpose. Save Dave. Again. Students continue to play the role of emergency doctor and think about artificial blood and how stents work.

Matches with spec ref 4.2 Organisation (4.2.2.2) and can also be used for outgoing spec B3 for GCSE Biology and Combined Science students. Learning objectives: evaluate the use of artificial hearts and valves evaluate the use of artificial lungs Students will play the role of doctors where they think about the character and what ailments are causing his symptoms. They train up and diagnose his condition and decide on a particular artificial treatment, in this case, replacement valves. The second activity documentation is in the powerpoint itself (last few slides). Outstanding lesson observation (Ofsted)

A simple lesson which helps students think about science in the past, present and the future. It helps them determine which of the three "umbrella" disciplines (Bio, Chem, Phys) and allows them the choice of activities. I used this as an end of term filler lesson and it worked well with year 7 & 8 (especially the fact or fiction activity) To note: The past is everything they currently study, the present is the fact or fiction activity at the end. The future is a posed question in the plenary, as we don't know what the future of scientific discovery is, though it may prompt some nice discussion.

For OCR Applied Science A-level - Working Waves External Assessment unit G635. In this pack is a large (very large) powerpoint covering each statement in the specification (one statement per slide generally). The optical fibre stuff gave me a headache so apologies if I'm missing anything. I've also included some exam questions interspersed with the relevant markschemes for revison purposes, taken from Exam papers 2011 to 2014.
