Edexcel 9-1 Chemistry Paper 1 Combined Head's up revision
Made for end of year revision:
'Heads Up', students work in groups to get their team mate to say the word on the screen. It's a modern version of charades. Very good for literacy and key word/practical revision.
You may need to allocate a student with a stopwatch/ipad to keep time, and another with a board pen to keep score!
Works great with boys vs. girls
Contains over 240 slides of key words for the following topics:
- Key concepts:
Edexcel 9-1 CC3 Atomic structure
Edexcel 9-1 CC4 Periodic table
Edexcel 9-1 CC5 Ionic bonding
Edexcel 9-1 CC6 Covalent bonding
Edexcel 9-1 CC7 Types of substance (Allotropes, metals and polymers)
Edexcel 9-1 CC9 Calculating masses
- Formulae, equations and hazards
- States of matter and mixtures:
Edexcel 9-1 CC1 States of matter

There are 4 slides to show the topics students will need to know for each exam.
Good to visualise were you are in the course and what you need to know for each exam
KS3 Unit 7L Physics - Sounds and Waves
Aimed for High-Middle ability Year 7 but can be adapted for low/middle ability if required (Higher and lower slides)
Further to this the lessons can also be split into two for each section - but due to time constraints and a very high ability class I was able to get through it all in 6 lessons rather than 8 lessons
Lesson 7Lb: Moving sounds and Lesson 7Le: Comparing waves (it was better suited this taught together)
Lesson 1-Particles, Medium and Sounds
Lesson 2 - Waves
Lesson 3 - Types of Waves
Lesson 7Lc: Detecting sounds
Lesson 4 - Hearing (the ear)
Lesson 5 - Sound and protecting hearing
Lesson 7Ld: Using sounds
Lesson 6 - Using sounds (echo, sonar, echolocations)

Edexcel 9-1 CC6a Covalent Compounds
TOPIC 1 KEY CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 and PAPER 2- NEW for SEPTEMBER 2017
This lesson was for my bottom set year 9's - they just could not understand covalent bonding therefore I took it to the next level.
I ordered 12 hula hoops (outer shells) and 48 airflow balls (electrons)
I dismantled the hula hoops so they could be taken apart and then put back together and the airflow balls could be added to the outer shells.
This is a step - by - step guided lesson.
IF hula hoops and airflow balls are not available this can be carried out on WHITEBOARDS so it can be used by everyone.
Edexcel CC6 Covalent bonding for the new 9-1 GCSE
Learning objectives:
To know how covalent bonds are formed
To be able to explain how a covalent bond is formed using dot and cross diagrams
To understand how to work out molecular formulae
All extension questions available on each slide
Answers all underneath each slide
Support also available where necessary
AfL sections and mini quizzes

Main topics include:
- Covalent compounds
- how they are formed
- working out molecular formulae

This is a collection of slides that I constantly adapt and change when planning lessons - the content is not relevant but the slide set up is the important feature of this powerpoint.
There are several variations of slides:
General slides
Class discussions
Tokens
Practical slides
Class activities
Information giving – copying into books
Feedback/Review
AfL
Good symbols
Consolidation
Revision
Games
Different style slides
This is just my base when planning lessons. These are all slides that I have collected over the last year that help me plan exciting and interesting lessons constantly.

Good revision points game for the Additional Edexcel C2 course (both higher and lower)
- I have used it for revision lessons and as homework
- I have completed it as a treasure hut lesson - where they have to find atomic structure points or bonding points, practical points. Winning is based on three categories ... fastest, highest points to 50, best work!!! The kids loved it
There is a combination of practical based questions (practical points), bonus questions (bonus points) and higher tier questions (bold). All the treasure hunt slides can be adapted and created to other specifications including the NEW EDEXCEL specification. I have an additional treasure hunt/ points game available for the new EDEXCEL GCSE based on the content required the end of year exam
TOPIC 1: Atomic structure and the periodic table
TOPIC 2: Ionic compounds and Analysis
TOPIC 3: Covalent compounds and separation techniques
TOPIC 4: Groups and the periodic table
TOPIC 5: Chemical reactions
TOPIC 6: Quantitative chemistry
The resource is expensive due to the amount of work put in to this top quality resource and because of this the revision slides can even be printed out and used in the classroom as revision MATS. There are 23 slides of questions for all abilities (foundation and higher) covering the whole specification for this C2 exam. These are a really good revision resource and last a lifetime once laminated.
