This lesson is about Mendeleev and the development of the periodic table. It includes a starter quiz and a video link showing Mendeleev’s periodic table journey. You can adapt the main task to whatever textbook/ revision guide you use in your school. Lesson is aimed at grades 1-5.

A straightforward revision sheet on atomic structure. Would be useful to review the atomic structure section of the spec. Focused on the lower attaining end of the student spectrum.

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.

Lesson focused on crude oil and what hydrocarbons actually are - some of the activities link to the standard GCSE combined science Pearson textbook.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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 lesson covering how the “Bohr” model used at GCSE was developed. Looking at the progress through Dalton, J J Thomson, Rutherford and Niels Bohr. Includes links to relevant videos. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

An intro lesson into solubility including a starter, practical, results sheet and analysis questions to finish off the practical. Lesson suitable for a 50-60 minute lesson. Aimed at grades 4-6 - but could be adapted up or down to suit a different class. Suitable for GCSE Chemistry or GCSE Combined Science (Chemistry)

This lesson is designed for a low ability class to guide them through a simple lesson looking at monitoring temperature drop through a phase change. The practical is based on melting Stearic acid and collecting the results as it cools and reaches its freezing point. Pure stearic acid should show a “flatlined” plot during the cooling curve to show that it is a “pure substance”

A full lesson with worksheets to help teach how you work out the formula of a compound once you know their ionic charges. Presentation and 2 worksheets with different levels of difficulty.

Simple introduction to solubility with a suggested practical for students to carry out. Includes starter discussion, simple practical method and analysis questions at the end.
