Edexcel CC8g Solubility. This powerpoint starts with a demo of lead nitrate and potassium iodide reacting together to give a bright yellow precipitate. I try and and make this a bit of a magic show! This then leads on to looking at the solubility rules and deciding which salts are soluble or not. After some practice of finding the precipitate, the students are then shown how to make an insoluble salt. The lesson finishes with an exit ticket which could be handed in so that the teacher can find out what students are still unsure of.

Edexcel Combined Science CC8b Looking at acids - higher students. This powerpoint starts with practice at converting between cm3 and dm3 and vice versa. (Maths skills - converting units) It looks at the difference between strong and weak acids and concentrated and dilute acids. It also discusses the ions in solution and how they relate to pH. (Maths skill - factors)

This is a series of 12 lessons for the first chemistry unit of AQA Chemistry Combined science. It includes powerpoints and differentiated worksheets for the following lessons: Atoms, elements and compounds Atomic mass Isotopes Writing Equations Mixtures Filtration and crystallisation Distillation Chromatography Electronic structure The early Periodic Table The Modern Periodic Table Groups and trends

This is a series of 10 question recall tests for use at the start or end of a lesson. This presentation includes quizzes on states of matter and mixtures. At the end of each quiz is a slide with just the questions on so that they can be printed off and handed out to students as a starter whilst you do the register. The presentation then goes through each questions with the answer so that students can self assess. Alternatively it can be done as a plenary and you can rapid fire targeted questions just using the presentation.

This is a powerpoint I use with my year 8 to familiarise them with the scientific method and analysing data and writing conclusions with evaluations. It sits nicely with my other powerpoint on maths in science for year 8 and results and graphs.

This is a series of 5 lessons that covers the AQA C3 Chemistry Topic Quantitative Chemistry. It includes powerpoints and differentiated worksheets for the following lessons: Balanced symbol equations Relative atomic and relative formula mass Moles Reacting masses Concentration
