Extra worksheets if students are struggling to access knowledge of Fundamental Ideas in Chemistry. 1. History of the Atom- Research task where students are expected find out about different scientists and how they used to understand what the atom looked like. 2. Research an element and find out the many different ways you can draw it. 3. Use blank periodic table and fill it in with as much information as you can find out. 4. Slightly more challenging worksheet, will involve some reading and processing information to answer questions on atomic structure. 5. Teacher lead practical on the alkali metals and water, students recording observations. 6. Filling in a table with numbers of protons, neutrons, electrons, mass number and proton number.

All the chemistry core practical activities summarised onto 6 sides. As 15% of the assessed work for Edexcel/Pearson is based on practical experiments this is a useful revision aid that summarises all the required core practicals. It would be useful for revision with students or planning your GCSE (9-1) chemistry course to ensure all the required practical work is completed. Practical assessments included: Investigating inks Preparation of copper sulfate Investigating neutralisation Electrolysis of copper sulfate Acid-alkali titration Investigating reaction rates Combustion of alcohols Identifying ions Information includes: Dependent independent and controlled variables (where applicable) Required equipment Method and expected outcome of experiment Possible evaluation issues and improvements to method Safety aspects Also included template to design your own summary for Biology or Physics

Introduction to IGCSE Chemistry and the first lesson in the topic 'States of Matter'. Dealing with changes of state between solids, liquids and gases and demonstrating diffusion with a choice of experiments depending on the level of student understanding and equipment available to you. Objectives: Can you describe the interconversions of solids, liquids & gases? (C) Can you explain the idea of diffusion with a practical example? (B) Can you apply the idea of diffusion to fully explain an example within both liquids & gases? (A/A*) Students expected to formulate their own ideas about diffusion and draw on knowledge from KS3.

A useful set of PowerPoints, units 1-10, with mostly notes but some questions that can be updated for current specification.

-30 pages of exam style questions. - All topics of the unit 1 A-level Chemistry covered. - Arranged according to Cambridge International Exams specification. -Two word files, one with just with questions, the second with questions and answers.

The second lesson in 'The Fundamental Ideas in Chemistry' topic looking at how electrons are arranged in shells. Lesson objectives: -Understand that elements in the same group in the periodic table have the same number of electrons in their highest energy level (outer electrons) and this gives them similar chemical properties. -Know that elements in Group 0 of the periodic table are called the noble gases. They are unreactive because their atoms have stable arrangements of electrons. Resources included: x1 Powerpoint starter on identification of element from atomic number. x1 PowerPoint with lesson objectives from AQA with main content of lesson and plenary. x 4 worksheets, all based on understanding electron arrangement, chose which one depending on your students. x2 teaching aid/animation good to use with interactive whiteboard or mouse (.swf files need Adobe Flash Player)
