Introduction to solubility, with starter and discussion activities as well as a suggested practical, with results table. Analysis questions available at the end of the lesson

Practical lesson where students can plan to find out which sample has the highest % of salt in a selection of 3 samples. Set as a challenge will require planning by students. Both basic and advanced methods given if they reach a dead end. Would be suitable for an extended lesson “100 minutes” or two singles.

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 on simple and fractional distillation - including links to relevant videos. Lesson includes quick starter questions and main written tasks linked to the combined science textbook by Pearson.

Lesson covering water purification and desalination. Contains video links and tasks. Main tasks are linked to the Pearson combined science textbook. Aimed at the middle ability class Gd 4-6.

Introduction to the basics of atomic structure - includes video links and plenty of opportunities for questions /self assessment. Aimed at the top end for a pacey 50 minute lesson.

Chromatography lesson suitable for GCSE Chemistry. Can be used in conjunction with the Pearson Edexcel Combined Science book ( if your school has them), but not essential.

A lesson linked to the distillation of ink for Edexcel - includes starter questions and activities linked to the Pearson Combined science textbook (P154). Also includes a video link showing the practical

Specific questions are also included. A textbook or revision guide would be a good accessory to this lesson. Designed for a 50 or 60 minute lesson.

Ionic Lattice lesson aimed and mid to low ability groups. Includes video links and starter activity. Lesson refers to some sheets that you will have access to if you subscribe to active learn by Pearson. Page references are linked to the standard Pearson"combined science" textbook that goes with the GCSE course. NOT endorsed by Pearson Pearson sheets are NOT included in the lesson

A practical focused on 2 of the main properties of ionic compounds a) they usually dissolve in water and b) they have high melting temperatures. The lesson has a starter activity, with answers a practical and some review questions. Suitable for a 50/60 minute lesson.

Higher tier GCSE Ionic lattice lesson. Refers to a sheet from active teach, which your school may already subscribe to (not included) and refers to pages from the standard Pearson combined Science textbook for GCSE Science. Much of the lesson can be adapted though. Success criteria are To state what an ionic lattice is To explain how it forms To predict compound names from the ions they contain To use the “ - ide” and “- ate” suffix correctly To work out the correct formulas for ionic compounds if given their charges

Lesson focusing on the key properties of ionic compounds. Includes a simple practical for students to carry out. as well as a starter activity on ionic formulae and analysis questions at the end.

A cracking lesson about cracking for a mid to high set.Some activities linked to the Pearson Combined textbook if you have it but could be adapted to whatever you have. Starter, theory and summary qs all included.

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

A lesson all about the Earth’s changing atmosphere CC17b. Starter questions and video links embedded in the lesson. Some activities link to the Pearson Edexcel combined science textbook

A lesson all about the greenhouse effect and climate change plus an extra part of the lesson looking at correlation and climate change references link to the Pearson Combined Science textbook. Useful video links also embedded in the power point.

Get that computer room booked! This worksheet will guide your students to research the appropriate information to help them in their understanding of climate change. Three tiers of task that get more sophisticated as they move through the sheet. Suitable for any GCSE board.
