Straightforward research lesson focused on metallic bonding - includes 3 levels of challenge. Get that computer room booked! It should fill an hour lesson by the time they have all logged on.

Basic research task where students can answer 6 questions about metal properties and metallic bonding and adding it to a cube “net” to make their own revision cube. Good Friday afternoon task! Use either the internet or textbooks to find the answers to the questions.

Bonding and structure quick fire quizsheet/ revision checklist. Covering the main themes in bonding and structure - print out and off they go! Textbook/revision guide or internet access could be provided if they need more support. Great for independent revision. Covers - Ionic bonding Ionic Lattices Simple Molecules Allotropes of carbon Metallic bonding

A lesson focusing on constructing the correct word/symbol equations when a metal oxide reacts with one of the 3 main acids - nitric, sulfuric. hydrochloric - also includes a starter activity that teaches students to spot an acid/bas just by looking at the formula. Extension task included - linked to Pearson Combined Sci book if you have them (though rest of the lesson can be taught without further resources.

Want your students to make sure they understand the copper sulfate core practical. Why not give this review lesson a whirl? It’s free! The main activities link to the standard Pearson combined science textbook. Feel free to share it with colleagues.

Top lesson for carrying out the core practical - making copper sulfate. Full method and equipment checklist as well. Includes a starter lesson, focused on the higher end. For the extension tasks you could use the Pearson textbook.(combined science or chemistry version) WARNING: Risk Assessment must be completed before attempting this (or any practical with students)

Revision activities linked to bonding abd structure. They are “naked knowledge” organisers - 3 A4 sheets, 1 on metallic bonding, 1 on ionic bonding part 1 and ionic bonding part 2. Page references link to Pearson’s combined science textbook but you could adapt to whichever textbook you use.

Straightforward safety lesson which would be great for a lower ability class. Quick discussion on safety scenarios they can then go around the room collecting information about the different hazard symbols (print off and put stick around the room). At the end of the ppt there is a more advanced version (longer sentences) that could be used fore a more able group. Lab safety if from an old spotlight science book - you could swap with whatever scheme you use.

A top notch lesson focusing on the differences between strong and weak acids a theory lesson with starter activity, theory slides and main activities. Main task uses Combined Science book from Pearson, though you could use any relevant textbook. Also includes plenary activity.

A great little lesson that covers the main bonding types or as I call them “the MIGS” - metallic/ionic/giant covalent/simple covalent, Contains starter and main activities. Main task can be linked to page 192 of the Pearson combined science textbook but could easily be adapted with whatever textbook you have

Note: your own risk assessment must be carried out before trying this practical with students. This practical lesson is a step by step way to make a soluble salt (in this case sodium chloride). Includes equipment checklist and method as well as theory behind the method and questions at the end of the lesson

A lesson focused on metal carbonate / acid reactions. Theory, practical and analysis questions included. Aimed at grades 4-6. Your own risk assessment must be done!

A challenging topic for some so this lesson has been scaffolded to start with word equations (acid + metal hydroxides (alkalis) and move towards symbol equations for the fast workers. Also includes some starter questions and some true or false questions at the end to finish off.

An excellent lesson that takes you through the basics of a titration and how to collect data from it. Includes method, blank data tables and relevant questions + the theory that goes a long with the reaction.

Core practical looking at how ph changes when you add a powdered base (calcium hydroxide) to an acid (HCl) in this case. Your own risk assessment must be done for this lesson

A beefy lesson which will probably tale a double session for most classes as it incorporates the theory behind the word and symbol equations as well as information for a full practical session with analysis questions to finish. Your own risk assessment must be carried out for the practical.

A lesson focused on acid/metal reactions both word equations and symbol equations. Plenty of practice activities for students to have a go at. Includes a starter activity and a tricky final question.

Acid and metal theory and practical lesson for a mid level set. Make sure you do your own risk assessment 1st!

Preparing an insoluble salt - in this case making magnesium carbonate. Lesson includes method and analysis questions linked to the Pearson Edexcel textbook. \make sure you do your own risk assessment.

Solubility rules on one simple slide. Us e as part of another ppt or as a revision aid.
