These resources contain background theory, worksheets and extension questions on all units for the Year 9 Chemistry units of the Cambridge Science Checkpoint exam. The resources cover : UNIT 1 Materials and their structures UNIT 2 Properties of materials and UNIT 3 Changes to materials The material includes notes and exercises on ionic bonding, covalent bonding , electron shells and electron arrangement for the first twenty elements of the Periodic Table , Group 1 metals physical and chemical properties including practical activity , definition of density and density calculations , contrasting physical properties of simple molecular structures with giant molecular structures , law of energy conservation, word and chemical symbol equations, rates of reaction, factors affecting rate such as concentration, temperature and surface area with practical activities , metal reactivity including displacement reactions with practical activity , salt preparation with practical activity and naming salts. The materials have been designed as a self contained booklet so ideally this should be kept by each student in a ring binder folder. This way students have all their notes for the topics in one location so should assist them with both organizing their own work and should become easier for the teacher to monitor their progress across all three units. The booklet has been set up so that students can work at their own pace throughout the booklet but also allows the teacher to direct students to particular topics such as rates of reaction where understanding of variables and carrying out investigations into how factors can affect the rate of a reaction clearly requires more teacher guidance. I have included graph work too as a number of students have problems drawing graphs understanding proportionality , axis and using the correct units Alternatively, the teacher can work through the booklet deciding at what point to allow the students to engage with independent learning. There are extension questions too so that the full range of abilities in the class are catered for. The booklet also contains solutions to all the questions set at the end of the booklet. There are 50 pages in the booklet. These resources have been specifically designed for the Chemistry components of the Cambridge Lower Secondary Science syllabus. However, these resources can be modified or adapted to be used for any Key Stage 3 Chemistry course.
