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).

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

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 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 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

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

2 slides - 1 with common ions met during GCSE Science and common vocab used in ionic bonding.

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.

How negative ions are formed - could be used for any exam board. A couple of old images from “boardworks” have been used to illustrate the concepts. Feel free to adapt for yourself.

A resource that can be printed on A4 or A3 to summarise the basics of positive and negative ion formation. Students can either complete with or without a textbook depending on their confidence.

This lesson is explores the idea of electronic configuration tilted towards the higher end. Some tasks relate to Pearson’s Combined Science book and an active learn worksheet you may have access to if you subscribe to that service. Even if you don’t the lesson is well structured and you could include your own tasks.

An introduction to the way electrons are arranged in atoms using the standard model at GCSE. An extension sheet references an activity from active learn - if you use that package, A standard periodic table would also be useful to help students with this lesson.

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.

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 lesson about Mendeleev and the development of the periodic table. Includes a starter quiz . Useful video link, questions and some research questions. A top class resource for a pretty dull topic!

Lesson on what an isotope is and how to calculate the relatiive atomic mass given % abundance. Would need some practise questions from your scheme of work to complement it.

An intro lesson about isotopes. Starts off with some reminder questions about atoms, moves on to how to interpret the numbers linked to chemical symbols then moves onto the basics of isotopes. 50-60 minute 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.
