These resources helped key stage four pupils grasp initial concepts of moles in higher level GCSE.

This is a double lesson resource. Lesson 1 : practise balancing equations. Slides have been proven to help key stage 4 pupils with this skill. Lesson 2: introduction to conservation of mass and loss of gas mass product. Practical with decomposition of Copper Carbonate.

Here are two versions of powerpoints for lessons on Concentration. The examples will introduce pupils to calculating concentrations in both grams per Litre and Moles per Litre (litre same as 1000cm3, 1000ml, or 1dm3, exam spec prefers 1dm3, good practise for A Level KS5)

Royal Society of Chemistry provides practical method for using sweets ‘M&Ms’ in this chromatography lesson.

These have activities embedded into powerpoints that pupils can follow from interactive white board.

Potable Water, Waste Water managment, Life Cycle Assessments, Distillation Practical. Used on Key Stage 4 classes.

Unit of Work, AQA Quantitative Chemistry; Conservation of Mass, Limiting Reactants, Uncertainty, Moles, Concentration. All lessons with a starter MYSTERY ELEMENT or MYSTERY MOLECULE.

This sheet is perfect for whole class practice, extension tasks or even sanctions (cumulative, 5 equations for each warning).

Key Stage 3 resource

This is will be useful for a number of chemistry topics. It links several concepts. Originally designed for revising a Key Stage 3 unit of work.

Two resources here; mixture of correct and deliberately incorrect electronic shell diagrams for first 20 elements of periodic table. Print in black/white, get pupils to mark in red pen, This reveals whether they grasp what is correct and incorrect (2:8:8:2 rule). Pupil name column for info on atomic and electronic structure. Pass around class during lessons, to collect pieces of information about how pupils are progressing.

THIS RESOURCE WILL NEED CHANGING BEFORE BEING USED IN A LESSON, TO MAKE IT MATCH THE CURRICULUM MORE. This is an extension lesson for those pupils very interested in exothermic and endothermic reactions. It includes the higher level Key Stage 4 energy curves. It includes thought-provoking ideas about exploding freezers due to flammable coolants.

This lesson was designed based on current specifications from AQA GCSE chemistry. It is very effective to ask pupils to count the stairs on one side of the school before the lesson, and collect their varied results.

Year 10 revision, for AQA units C1 C2 and C3. Useful for end of year exam revision. Works as a lesson or homework.

This is a useful document. Once one pupil has experienced been asked to write out several lines of this, the whole class will be eager to avoid being asked to do so. It is humerus and also includes many references to scientific content from GCSE curriculum such as atomic structure.

These presentations and worksheet activities will inform pupils to investigate some widely used composites.

This lesson has been used on several key stage 3 classes. There is a card game which I made. It is mixed up. Pupils can do the cutting and sticking to match up the substances to the picture.

These slides present activities which can cover 1 or 2 lessons.

This can be printed, laminated, and cut up.

This resource is free, to show an example of what the paid presentations will be like.
