Matter, Mixtures and Solutions, Separating Mixtures - 3 Fully Resourced Lessons Plus 12 Game Compendium
Three comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on particle (kinetic) theory of matter, the composition and properties of mixtures and separating mixtures for middle school plus a compendium of twelve games
Each teaching pack contains between thirteen and eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built into the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
To consolidate learning, there are three sets of enjoyable and challenging games which can be played after each lesson is taught with the content of each set of three games being closely related to the content of one of the lesson topics.
Find the pair
Dominoes
Wildcard/Snap.
At the end of the module, to further reinforce learning or for test prep, there are another three enjoyable and challenging games which test facts taught throughout the complete module.

Kinetic Theory of Matter, Mixtures and Solutions, Separating Mixtures 5 Fully Resourced lessons for Distance Learning and Homeschool
Three action-packed distance or remote learning packages for middle school which cover the kinetic theory of matter (particle theory), mixtures and solutions and separating mixtures.
Each resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. It gives advice on how to use distance learning successfully and guides the learner step-by-step through the topic. The supporting worksheets include guided notes, cut-outs, foldables digital quick-tests, fact sheets and progress checks to provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge and to continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress.

Acids Bases and Indicators - Dominoes Game KS3
A dominoes game for middle school with questions and statements on acids, bases and indicators instead of numbers.
Prior Knowledge
An acid is a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6
A base is a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14
Hydroxides are soluble bases
Neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline
For neutral substances, red litmus stays red and blue litmus stays blue
The pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14)
Concentrated acids and bases are corrosive
Many foods contain dilute weak acids and bases and gives examples
What You Get
90 dominos
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

Light - Reflection & Refraction Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on reflection in plane mirrors and revraction. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
Included in this Pack.
