This a Chemistry resource aimed at KS4 (and upper KS3) with 6 different concept maps for students to complete. It includes 1. Atoms, Elements, 2.Development of the Atom, 3. Development of Periodic Table and 4. Groups 7 and 0, 5. Group 1 and Transition Metals and 6. Mass, size and Electronic Structure. Check out a free one (Development of the Atom) to try before you consider buying the full resource at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/development-of-a-model-of-the-atom-concept-mapping-worksheet-12191441 It gives students incomplete concept maps for them to complete and complete ones to check against. The complete ones have images to aid memory. It is based on AQA but can be used by other boards. It can be used in 1 lesson, but is better over a series of revision lessons, given as a graphic organiser, homework or as a plenary. The resource contains sheets for more or less able and answer sheets for students to peer or self assess.

This resource contains keywords, images and definitions (see below for all 60 keywords covered). It is aimed at KS4, but can be used with upper KS3. The resource can be used as a matching activity, a booklet for revision or display (more uses described below). It can be used in several ways: As a whole class activity: The Power Point version is animated so that it puts the image on first, followed by the keyword, then the definition. In this way, students can be shown the image and asked what the keyword is, then are asked what the definition is. The Interactive Power Point has all the keywords linked to the slide with that definition. It also contains a back to the previous slide button so that you can back to the word you were discussing. The Interactive Keyword Power Point at beginning has all the keywords on the second slide. Click to link to that slide, then click the Home button to go back-Use when referring to certain words that students have difficulty with. As a display around the room. Printed smaller and given to the students as a keyword booklet or Graphic Organiser to revise from. Memory game: Printed smaller and cut out, turned over and the students turn a card over and ask the other students in their group to give the definition when given the word, or vice versa. Cut the titles off and the image, place them all around the room, give the student one piece and ask them to find the other two parts tjhat go with it. The presentation has all the keywords in order of when they are mentioned in the AQA Specification. The Keywords are: Atom, Element, Chemical Symbol, Periodic Table, Compound, Chemical Reaction, Energy Change, Chemically combine, Proportion, Formula, Word Equations, Symbol Equations, Balanced, Ion, Half Equation, Ionic Equation, Separation, Filtration, Crystallisation, Distillation, Fractional Distillation, Chromatography, Purification, Chemical Properties, Model, Electron, Plum Pudding Model, Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment, Nucleus, Nuclear Model, Orbit, Protons, Neutrons, Charge, Relative, Isotopes, Atomic Mass, Nanometres, Percentage Abundance, Energy Levels/Shells, Electronic Structure, Groups, periods, Atomic Weight, Metals, Mendeleev’s Periodic table, Non-metals, Noble gases/Group 0, Trend/Pattern, Alkali Metals/Group 1, Halogens/Group 7, Molecule, Displacement, Aqueous, Salt, Solution, Transition Metals, Density, Hardness and Reactivity. *New Keywords added: Atomic Number, Mixtures, Physical properties, Scattering and Shielding Please comment with any suggestions for improvements or other ideas for resources. I hope you find this resource useful.

This is a lesson that explains to KS4 students the importance of Avogadro’s number and Moles. It gives definitions of the mole and Avogadro’s constant, that are important for exams. It is based around the OCR scheme of work, but will work on other syllabus for explaining what a mole is and how to use it in calculations. Contains: 15 page ppt slide inc lesson objectives, starter and plenary questions 3 pages of questions on Mole, Mass or Avogadro’s number Answers to worksheet for peer/self assessment.

This is a simple information sheet which shows a way of calculating the number of protons, neutrons and electrons from any atom on the Periodic Table. It also explains why group 1 metals become more reactive as you go down the group and group 7 become less reactive. This is also available free as part of my periodic tables (Newlands, Mendeleev etc).

This is a Blooms taxonomy based around questions asked in Science lessons. It is aimed at KS3 and KS4. It has examples based on the States of Matter topic covering the hierarchy with examples of each for students to aim for. It can be used by students when answering questions or doing analysis. It can be used as a place mat during lessons or enlarged for classroom display or included in Power points when doing a question in that style.

This is list of 9-1 GCSE grade descriptors based on the type of question that is being asked. It can be used to assess a students understanding by looking at what type of question a student can answer. It is in order of grades and is divided into the main areas that questions are based on: The grade descriptors are 1. Diagrams or Symbols, 2. Uses-Real world or Scientific, 3. Interpreting Data from a Table, Graph or Diagram, 4. Variables, Required Practicals and Working Scientifically, 5. Science Knowledge, Ideas, Models, 6. Science Processes-Recognising, Explaining, Understanding or Applying and 7. Calculations. I have used these to produce a revision sheet for Periodic Table and Atoms from the latest AQA paper. Click here for a free download: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/periodic-table-and-atomic-structure-9-1-grade-descriptor-revision-12231830 I have also produced a more detailed breakdown how the grades link to questions on the 2019 AQA Chemistry Paper (paid resource) here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/grade-descriptor-for-all-chemistry-topics-aqa-12235088 Please comment if you have found this useful.

This Chemistry resource is used with KS4 students. These exam style questions are adapted from AQA past papers and are now individually graded 9-1. It is designed to ask questions on Working Scientifically and the Maths calculations that are involved. It is normally post practical to test students understanding. It can be used in conjunction with the practical, as a revision or homework activity. It can be used with all abilities and comes with answers. This is for students studying AQA Science 2019. It covers practical procedure (WS 2.2), risks, hazards and control (WS 2.4) and reading scales (WS 2.6). It covers the following subjects: Resolution, Range, Accuracy, Risk Assessment, Independent, Dependent and Control variables, Converting between units, Calculating the mean, recognising Anomalous results etc. On the top right-hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with. For all the Chemistry Practicals (now individually graded) and a help sheet , check out: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/all-aqa-chemistry-required-practical-revision-with-exam-style-questions-and-answers-2019-12197299 For other resources (Biology and Physics versions of these, please check out my shop with free and paid for resources at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 It can be used as part of the required practical in lessons, as a homework or a revision sheet (even a cover lesson with the answer sheets!). Please comment. Hope you find this resource useful!

This updated chemistry KS4 lesson asks 9-1 graded exam style questions and provides model answers covering symbols, balancing equations, naming compounds and more. It lasts approx 1 hour. It contains keyword helpsheets for students of lower ability. It encourages students to use keywords and link concepts together. All the other revision lessons are available individually, but for all the revision lessons as a bundle at a reduced price click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/atomic-structure-and-periodic-table-revison-pack-12193157 I am currently going through the 2018/19 Chemistry exam papers to create a grade descriptor based on what would be asked in the exam. I will also be updating my resources with levels based on these. More soon.
