Lesson all about catalysts. The standard demos e.g elephant toothpaste and the relevant theory linked to catalysts. Also includes video links to relevant videos and tasks linked to the Pearson Edexcel combined science book text book if you have it.

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.

A tip top lesson on the lovely alkanes. Introduction to everyone’s favourite homologous series. Suitable for a single lesson. contains video links and an extension data analysis activity they can have a go at. Graph paper at the ready!

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!

Get to grips with alkanes. A theory lesson aimed at the foundation level Gd 1-5. Lots of clear diagrams and opportunity to practice of the knowledge.

Intro to the theory behind fractional distillation. Includes a challenging starter activity. Video links to relevant videos. Main class activities and an exam style question for students to get their teeth into. Enjoy!

A stand alone sheet. Students can use to research the early atmosphere. Questions get more difficult as you move through the sheet. What else do you need? Access to the internet! Or a textbook.

Time for some independent study in the computer room - this worksheet covers all students need to now about the early atmosphere. Might be good for an independent HW too,

Introduction to the halogens good for mid to high set. Includes a starter activity (alkali metals) to get them going then a data analysis exercise where they plot the boiling point of each halogen against its period number (print off the data from the slides and blu tac it on the walls) and then predict the properties of astatine. Also includes the theory behind hydrogen halide formation if you have time.

Gp 7 halogen displacement reaction.s Includes results table you can print off. and analysis questions at the end also includes how to write word and symbol equations. Handy if you have the Pearson textbook for some extension work but not essential.

Noble gas theory lesson focused on lower attaining groups/foundation. Includes starter, video link and graphing activity.

Noble gas lesson with some bonus sheets thrown in!. Aimed at the mid -top end of the spectrum.

Theory lesson suitable for Y12 Chemistry introduction to oxidation number and redox reactions Success criteria are… Identify the difference between oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons Define what a reducing agent/oxidising agent is. Apply the idea of oxidation numbers to unfamiliar compounds Identify oxidation or reduction using occurring in balanced symbol equations Identify oxidising and reducing agents from balanced symbol equations Deduce the type of reaction occurring due to oxidation number change

Quick starter sheet you can print off or display, recaps key vocab and simple ionic formulae.

A lesson focused on the properties of ionic compounds and explanation of those properties. Includes a starter activity and excercises linked to Pearson combined textbook (if you have them) and an Active Learn sheet (if you subscribe to it).

Properties of ionic compounds lesson including practical for foundation students. Includes simple, starter activity and other activities linked to the standard combined science textbook (Pearson) .

Lesson focused on the properties of simple covalent properties for foundation tier. Book references in the lesson link to the standard Pearson textbook for combined science. Ends with a true or false quiz and also a "learning log. Starter question is also included. Success Criteria To state the properties of simple covalent molecules To be able to explain why covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. To be able to explain why simple covalent compounds do not conduct electricity

Lesson on the properties of simple molecular compounds for Edexcel.Includes starter, new info, video links and some relevant questions linked to the main Pearson Edexcel Combined Science textbook for GCSE Science (CC7a section)

Straightforward practical where you can use “waxy” acids available in many school labs e.g steric acid to find out there melting points and compare them to their carbon chain length. In this practical I use lauric, steric ans palmitic acid tn this practical, You must carry out your OWN risk assessment before using with pupils. “Active learn” sheet cc7a sheet is handy for this but not essential

A great little review lesson for this topic. Helpful if you have the standard combined science textbook for one of the tasks. Includes starter. main tasks and plenary. State the 4 bonding model types Describe their properties Explain their properties Deduce unknown substances from their data Evaluate the pro’s and cons of the way the models are represented
