Mendeleyeev's periodic table and the modern periodic table. I planned this for a medium ability group for a double period. Either print the worksheets directly from the powerpoint (1, 2 or 6 per page) or print from the included pdfs. Just start the lesson off with the settler, them amaze them with the curious life of Dimitri Ivanov Mendeleyev. inventor of the phrase 40% proof. (Seriously, he also worked for the weights and measures department and standardised Russian Vodka) periodic table, Mendeleyev, Mendeleev, C1.1 revision, vodka

Have a class set of these printed on stiff paper and laminated for a brilliant and fun assessment tool useful time and again when looking at different types of bonding and atomic structure. Either use both sides for a differentiated resource or use just the side you need and leave the other side blank to allow further closed questioning.

This worksheet challenges pupils to think about the risks involved with their investigations and to prioritise them as if they were producing a risk assessment. I will be updating this later as I have some ideas for a more engaging challenge for the pupils to complete. Controlled Assessment, CA, risks, variables, hazards, risk assessment
Uses of Rocks Challenge

Uses of Rocks Challenge

Pupils work in groups to solve the challenge, use their own knowledge and that given in the resource to write a report to a construction company on which rocks they should use for different construction tasks. Print out all the pages and a set to groups of 3-4 pupils. 20 minutes to read the information, read the example report and to write their own. Lower ability groups will copy out the example with the correct rocks added in and the higher ability groups will write their own report from scratch.

I can never seem to find the right periodic table for my students so have made one ideal for KS3/4. Relative atomic mass is only measured to 1d.p. for elements such as Chlorine. Lanthinoids and Actinoides are ignored. Elements are not given capital letters. UK spelling. Relative atomic mass is shown above the chemical symbol. Includes livermorium and flerovium, moscovium etc. Colour coded groups. Groups 1-8 labelled.

D20 (Dice) Plenary Chooser
RahmichRahmich

D20 (Dice) Plenary Chooser

(1)
Great little plenary chooser that your pupils will get used to fast. I recommend picking up a few D20 dice (10 for £3 on ebay) and giving one to each group. Then when you want to check understanding either at the end or part way through a lesson they roll the dice and do the corresponding activity. Pupils enjoy having a semblance of control but you still get the required plenary. If you want a more controlled experience have one pupil roll the dice and every pupil has to do that specific plenary. Digital dice rollers are also available online.
