A resource that would be useful for higher achieving KS3 students or as a reminder about formulas at the beginning of GCSE Combined Science or Chemistry Main presentation includes 2 activities that can be printed or copied from the board. Also a word doc which has some more challenging questions. Both the power point and the word document can be easily amended to suit your class. Lesson length 50 minutes

A practical investigation looking at the solubility of sugar. Simple practical involving identification of variables, data collection and practical analysis questions at the end. Could be fit into an hour lesson or perhaps a double lesson depending on how long you give students to collect data. Simple to resource - no unusual bits of kit needed.

A lesson all about the early atmosphere of the Earth. Includes all the key theory and some activities from linked to the Pearson Combined Science textbook. AImed at grades 5-9

Catalyst lesson for a foundation set. Includes a simple practical where you can compare the effectiveness of catalysts by measuring “height of bubbles”. Refer to CLEAPSS for all practicals you plan before you carry out with students.

Got the computer room booked? Why not get your students to get a bit of independent work done while you oversee their progress. This lesson’s all about pollution problems from combustible fuels and has three stages of difficulty. Secure>Develop>Challenge. Sit back and let the learning commence!

Lesson including - starter main task and plenary. Main task links to the Pearson textbook for combined science . Also includes video links Lesson is aimed at foundation tier Lesson content… Describe what a giant covalent structure is State what an allotrope is State some uses for diamond and graphite Describe the properties of diamond, graphite, Explain why diamond and carbon have these properties using correct scientific language.

Intro lesson to polymers as part of the bonding and structure unit. Starter questions and video links included. Uses the standard Edexcel combined Science textbook for some of the activities from section CC7a. Aims of the lesson are State what a polymer is State what a monomer is Explain how a polymers structure affects their properties Describe how polymers can form Link a polymers melting temperature to their physical properties

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

Full theory and practical for making an insoluble salt focused on the higher end grades 6-9. Some of the questions at the end link to the Pearson Combined Science text book (same questions will also be available in the GCSE Chemistry version of the book). Practical is straightforward, but make sure you do your own risk assessment for your class.
