Three fully resourced lessons taking the learner from an understanding of atoms and molecules through elements and compounds, chemical symbols and formulae and finally to naming compounds and balancing chemical equations. What’s Covered All atoms of one element are the same but are different from the atoms of other elements. Atoms combine to form molecules. If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed. If combining atoms are from different element, a molecule of a compound is formed. An element contains only one type of atom A compound contains two or more different types of atom. Elements are listed in the periodic table. Each element has its own symbol. Symbols can be the first letter of the name (capital), two letters from the name (capital then lowercase) or taken from the Latin name of the element. The formula of a compound tells you how many atoms of each element are in it. Working out the number of atoms of each element in a compound from its formula. Naming compounds with the groups CO3, SO4, NO3. Compounds containing only two atoms end in ide. Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3. Conservation of mass.

Three comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on refraction, reflection and lenses for middle school. Each topic comes with an engaging, animated PowerPoint and eleven printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. Emphasis is placed on assessment for learning and detailed answers to questions are provided throughout, which makes self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic. Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts. What’s Covered Reflection Transparent, translucent and opaque materials Luminous and non-luminous objects Labelling the incident and reflected rays, the angles of incidence and reflection, the normal and the point of incidence Virtual experiment to prove i = r Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror The image formed in a plane mirror is upright, virtual (appears to be formed behind the mirror) laterally inverted, the same size as the object and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front. Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a periscope Specular and diffuse images Refraction The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal. Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted. Light is not refracted at a curved boundary. Complete ray diagrams showing refraction. Design an experiment and results table to investigate refraction through a semi - circular glass block Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth Lenses Ray diagrams showing refraction in a concave and convex lens. Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses, telescopes and spectacles to correct long sight. Concave lenses are used in lasers, flashlights, peepholes and spectacles to correct short sight. Label the following structures on a diagram of the eye; retina; ciliary muscle; iris; pupil; lens; suspensory ligament; optic nerve. Draw ray diagrams and explain how the eye sees distant and close objects. Draw ray diagrams and explain how lenses are used to correct long and short sight. Draw diagrams and explain how the iris controls the size of the pupil and therefore the amount of light which enters the eye. Draw a ray diagram of the pinhole camera, know that the image is inverted sand diminished, moving the object closer enlarges the image and multiple pinholes produce multiple images Label a diagram of the camera and explain how a picture is taken. Explain the differences and similarities between the eye and the camera What’s Included for Each Lesson Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable Cut and stick activity.

Each game is fully resourced, suitable for all abilities, comes with full instructions and is easy to run. Games Included Find the Pair Dominoes Board Game Save the School Squirrel Escape Room Wildcard & Snap What’s Covered Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators. Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not. Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull. Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not. Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck. Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic. Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy. Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid. Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide. Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic. This versatile pack can be used to reinforce each section of the current electricity module as it is taught or for revision.
