Students consider the factors which can increase the unpleasant experience of flatulence... Using the starter and a demonstration of perfume students learn the idea that the random movement of particles can lead to the spreading of substances. Students move into small groups and decide on how they can role play the scientific concept to the class. After students watch each other's sixty second role plays they evaluate them and complete a levelled worksheet. Students are

Some resources for three lessons designed to introduce Edexcel C3 topic 2. Lesson 1 Students describe a graph regarding the amount of soap that is used across the country and interpret what it could mean. -Students are introduced to water hardness, both permanent and temporary. -concentration with practice questions -Ion exchange by using the textbook lesson 2 Students are reminded of concentration and are introduced to the mole! -what is a mole -concentration in terms of mol/volume -practice questions -students are introduced to the procedure of producing a soluble salt and are asked to read the textbook for homework Lesson 3 Students prepare copper sulphate crystals from an acid base reaction.

PowerPoint lesson fully equiped with recap ‘blast from the bast questions’, content and practice questions. The resource has a higher activity with skills and spec points suitable for higher tier students and foundation activities (RAM and Mr split into two lessons).

Lesson 1 Students are introduced to the Salt hotel in Bolivia and asked to discuss properties of the substance. Students are introduced to the concept of losing and gaining electrons. Students fill in the table to complete their notes. Students complete the appropriate levelled worksheet to demonstrate their understanding. Lesson 2 Students use their knowledge from the last lesson to workout the formulae of a number of examples. Students order the formulae/name dominoes into the correct order and use them to fill in their common anion and cation table. Students complete the double page spread from the new edexcel Chemistry textbook. Lesson 3: Physical and chemical properties Students are introduced to giant ionic lattices before evaporating a solution of copper sulfate to produce their own crystals. Lesson 4: Testing ionic substances Students complete three experiments with a range of examples to test whether they have a high melting point, dissolve or conduct electricity. Lesson 5: Revision poster Students display their knowledge of the unit before their end of unit test.

Three lessons are included which run through: Lesson 1 water testing: A reminder of Flame tests, and the introduction of cation precipitate tests. -Students complete a six mark question and summary table to remind themselves of C2 ion tests. -Students complete simple qualitative sodium hydroxide precipitate test with a number of metal cations in solution. Lesson 2 Qalitative test revision book: A reminder of anions. -Teacher could demo experiments from lesson 3 or explain using the PowerPoint slide -Students complete a booklet to summarise all tests learnt. Lesson 3: Students complete a circus of all experiments -test for halogens -test for sulfates -test for carbonate -flame test for cations -precipitate test for cations -Using these tests students solve a fictional (a ridiculous) murder.

A full KS3 scheme of work that contains six fully resourced lessons to allow your department to complete a Science Fair project. As a school we conducted this period for a two week cycle after half term to allow students to; produce an idea, write a hypothesis, plan a method, conduct an experiment of their choice and make their project. Class winners were chosen and then allowed to present their work in the hall for the rest of the school to see. This is the third year we have completed our science fair at my school. This year we had four entries that won prizes at the big bang fair regional competition. One of which was chosen as the Young scientist of the year regional winner and will be presenting their project nationally later next year. This pack contains: Assembly PowerPoint: To present to the whole school introducing the fair. Lesson 1: Producing an idea Lesson 2: Forming a Method Lesson 3: Pilot experiment Lesson 4: Experimental time Lesson 5: Conclusion and evaluation (making project) Lesson 6: Choosing a winner Lesson plans, resources and example project winners also included. I hope, if you are willing for a bit of chaos, that you see the same enthusiasm and creativity in your students as I have. good luck!

A SOW of lessons to support Topic 3 of quantitative Chemistry. Lessons include Higher and foundation PowerPoints, learning outcomes and resources. Information regarding practical experiments and tips for non specialists are included. All lessons include a blast from the past mini quiz, model answers and links to the specification. enjoy!
