An explanation of how particle equations and molecular formula work.

A lesson around the suitability of metals to their use.

A selection of data sheets for environmental chemistry for iGCSE.

A selection of pollution related powerpoint.

Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of these common pollutants on buildings and why these pollutants are of global concern ✤ Relate the effects of acid rain to sedimentary rocks.

Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of Global Warming and discuss why these pollutants are of global concern ✤ State that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gases and explain how it may contribute to climate change. Settler: Starter: Demonstration:

Learning Objectives ✤ Understand that liquids can be separated by distillation according to their boiling points. ✤ Describe the separation of oxygen and nitrogen from liquid air by fractional distillation Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Can show the oxygen in the jar demo with the water rising then ask the kids to explain why this demo does not show that the air is 20% oxygen as they are often taught but is due to pressure differences instead. Practical: Main 1: Use ppt. Main 2: AFL: Most pupils will struggle with the concept but can be used as an introduction to year 10 - use questions from year 10 textbook to assess. Homework

Learning Objectives ✤ State the composition of clean, dry air ✤ Explain the changes in the Earth that led to oceans forming. ✤ Relate the Earths early atmosphere with that of Mars or Venus today. ✤ Explain the changes in the Earths atmosphere today.

Learning Objectives Be able to describe the rock cycle as continuous process that takes place over millions of years. Relate the rock cycle as a type of recycling Revise the whole rock cycle

Learning Objectives Be able to name some metamorphic rocks Be able to describe how metamorphic rocks are formed Settler: Starter: Test knowledge from previous lesson. Demonstration: Practical: Main 1: See lesson sheet Main 2: AFL: Splat in lesson sheet Homework

Learning Objectives Be able to name some sedimentary rocks Explain the processes of weathering, transportation, deposition, sedimentation, cementation Use particle diagrams to explain cementation. Settler: Starter: Demonstration: Demonstration of sedimentary rock sandwich and metamorphic toastie You can do the transportation pipe demo but it isn't very good. Practical: Main 1: Main 2: EITHER: Pupils descibe the sandwich model and explain how it is different. We could compare each others answers to see wether we have learned this OR: Pupils undertake construction company exercise 15 minutes and 5 minutes of discussion at the end. Need to address issues with the vocabulary, many misconceptions come from geography. about weathering and erosion. AFL: Homework Metamorphic rocks worksheet

Learning Objectives To describe the three types of weathering, Biological, physical and chemical. To be able to give examples of all three types of weathering. To link the weathering process to the landscape. Use particle diagrams to explain weathering Settler: Starter: Demonstration/Main 1: Draw diagrams to represent the three types of weathering on the board if you are not confident use the textbook. Pupils need to be able to use particle diagrams - in this case particle means rock pieces of any size. Practical: Show the frozen rock breaking demo as an example of freeze thaw. Main 2: Link to the landscapes of Qatar, erratics etc. AFL: Show photos of different types of weathering and ask pupils to identify them

Learning Objectives Investigate how speed of cooling affects the crystal size of minerals. Link the properties of igneous rocks with where they cooled. Use particle diagrams to explain the difference between intrusive and extrusive Settler: Revision of intrusive and extrusive from previous lesson. Starter: Pupil write their own hypothesis for the practical – discuss what makes a good hypothesis. Fter pupils have done theirs they can asses themselves based on the WAGOLL in the ppt. Demonstration: Practical:/ Main 1: Pupils carry out the salol/lead iodide or stearic acid cooling practical. Main 2: Pupils write an analysis for this experiment, using the mark scheme. Pupils can then peer assess using the markscheme and the WAGOLL. AFL: Ask pupils at the end how giants causeway was made and importantly where? Photographs in ppt.

Learning Objectives Be able to name some igneous rocks Be able to describe how igneous rocks are formed? Explain the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Settler: Starter: Show pupils some igneous rocks, stress which ones they should be able to name later as examples. From the pictures pupils should identify some trends eg crystals and colour. The images can be printed and laminated to do this exercise independently. Demonstration: Practical/ Main 1: Pupils carry out analysis of the igneous rock samples, using naked eye, magnifying glasses/camera phones, porosity test and acid test. Main 2: Pupils to learn the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks using ppt. AFL: Questions from page 91 SPLAT Homework Read the geology.com article about igneous rocks and how they are formed.

Main 1: Show pupils how to draw the structure of the Earth. Pupils produce a version in their books. Main 2: Question pupils about the states of the layers and how they know this. AFL: 4 Mark Question: Describe the Earth’s layers explain with examples how they're properties are based on their state. With a WAGOLL (examples of medium and higher answers are in the ppt). Homework: Possibly ask pupils to produce a 3d model of their diagram.

Teach pupils how to draw the different lines of best fit using this simple worksheet.

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. Rocks, slate, limestone, metamorphic, fossils, marble, construction, uses of rocks

Periodic Table Dice Game A great little game for groups to practice their periodic table knowledge, pupils are encouraged to test their knowledge but have the periodic tables as a safety blanket to ensure all abilities can compete and SHOW PROGRESS. REQUIRES 1xD6 and 1xD20 per group Includes: Player markers Questions Scoreboard Mini periodic tables

Four adapted articles covering; Antibiotic resistance, Ebola virus outbreak, Facebook's unethical research, and the destruction of the coral reef food chain. I use these as posters in my form room but they can be used for a variety of different uses. literacy, reading, news

All the modern hazard symbols covered by the curriculum gathered into one place. Images should be large enough for printing for displays. Check out my other resources for power points and worksheets related to these hazard symbols. display, safety, practical
