Powerpoint to explain cracking with activities. I demonstrated the cracking of paraffin. You need molymods for the pupils to act out cracking. I did this as a starter - http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/4-Pics-1-Word-C1a-6370544/

Lesson explaining covalent bonding with questions.

Resource includes a powerpoint which covers: Alpha amino acids Zwitterions Isoelectric point Acid and alkaline conditions Example questions and answers The lesson encourages pupils to think for themselves. There are hints included to help the students which can be removed for a more able class.

This is an aspect of Chemistry that many pupils struggle with. The lesson starts with a whiteboard quiz which helps pupils to revise all the moles equations they have learnt so far. The powerpoint then takes pupils through step-by-step instructions for calculations involving balanced symbol equations. Lots of examples are given. I tried this lesson with my class and by the end, all were able to do the calculations. You can find lots more calculations questions here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/exam-style-calculations-for-module-2-of-new-ocr-chemistry-a-level-11273252

Engaging board game which allows pupils to explore the causes, consequences and solutions of climate change. The aim of the game is to NOT reach the finish line as this is when global disaster occurs. At the end of the game (or during if you prefer), they will fill in a sheet summarising what they have learnt about climate change. This resource includes: Teacher rules Powerpoint of rules/aims of game to share with the class Colour game board Black and white game board 48 game cards Worksheet.

Complete lesson with two alternative starter activities (depending on the ability of your class), a practical, lots of activities, videos, homework suggestion and an AfL task at the end. Extra information (including image credits) is included in the notes section under the slides. I am currently making a complete scheme of work for the new chemistry spec so please keep checking back.

Very engaging lesson, includes game, practical, assessment and differentiated tasks. I was observed teaching this lesson for AQA C3 a couple of years ago and was graded outstanding. The lesson takes 2 hours so you can split it at a point that you feel appropriate (our school does 2 hour lessons as standard). All explanations for activities can be found in the notes underneath the slide, along with picture and video credits. I am working on a full SOW for the new AQA spec so check back soon. Please leave feedback. Complete chapter 4.1 can be found here for only £5: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/complete-sow-for-new-aqa-chemistry-syllabus-chapter-4-1-atomic-structure-and-the-periodic-table-11296756

This comprehensive resource contains five 1 hour lessons, animations to clearly explain electrolysis, work sheets, , experiment suggestions, questions, activities and revision resources. All of the answers are included so this would be suitable for a non-specialist. Please see notes at the bottom of powerpoint slides for extra information, links to other resources and image credits. I welcome feedback. Content covered includes: -What electrolysis is and why we do it (including a recap of ionic bonding) -Electrolysis of ionic compounds when melted and when in solution -How to work out what is produced at each electrode -Half equations -Oxidation and reduction -Electrolysis of aluminium oxide -Electrolysis of sodium chloride solution -Electroplating Created for AQA specification but could easily be adapted to other exam boards.

Lesson includes a powerpoint, worksheet, questions and suggestions for practicals. It is important that you do your own risk assessment before carrying out any practicals.

Created for AQA GCSE C3, this resource will also be relevant to other specifications as well as AS Chemistry. The lesson takes pupils through step by step instructions for naming and drawing esters and provides questions for pupils to try as well as suggested follow-up activities.

Pupils will learn what a simple covalent compound is and how to draw them. Includes suggested practical which can lead into talking about the properties of simple molecules. It is important that you carry out your own risk assessment before doing any practical activities. A competitive game is included, as well as a homework sheet which will allow them to practice the main compounds that they need to know.

Complete lesson including starter activity to recap nomenclature, instructions on how to draw and name isomers and questions.

A fun way to practice oxidation numbers. Pupils move forwards or backwards on the board, depending on whether the oxidation number is positive or negative. My class really enjoyed this.
