Edexcel CC11a Reactivity. This powerpoint and differentiated worksheet looks at how we arrange metals in a reactivity series based upon reactions with water, acid and oxygen. It looks at displacement reactions and guides students to writing REDOX equations.

Edexcel CC9b Conservation of mass. This presentation allows students to practice calculating the concentration of solutions as well as guiding them through calculating reacting masses. A differentiated worksheet is included as well.

Edexcel CC9a Mass and empirical formulae. This presentation guides students through relative atomic mass, relative formula mass and determining empirical formulae. A differentiated worksheet is included as well.

Edexcel CC7c Properties of metals. This presentation explores the typical physical properties of metals and how the structure of metals explains these properties. A differentiated worksheet is included.

Edexcel CC10 revision of electrolysis. This has a differentiated starter to cover the main points of electrolysis. It then has graded questions for the student to work through. This works well at the end of teaching this topic or as part of exam revision.

Edexcel CC5a Ionic Bonds. This presentation usually takes about 3 or 4 lessons depending upon how quickly the students grasp the concept. It is worth spending time ensuring full comprehension as this is one of the fundamentals in chemistry. It starts by looking at how ions form, then moves onto drawing ions and ionic bonding diagrams ( dot and cross diagrams) Finally it ends by looking at charges on ions and how they link to the position in the Periodic Table. 3 differentiated worksheets are also included with this bundle.

This is the fifth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Investigations’ and allows students to undertake an investigation early in the year. I have included an investiagtion title page for Y7,8,9,10 and 11 ( please look in the notes section at the bottom of the powerpoint to find out which is most suitable) . I have not included many details of the investigations as the point is for the students to do this for themselves. This may take 2 lessons depending upon the ability of the students in the class. The presentation should be self explanatory . The next lesson is ‘Drawing graphs’

Edexcel CC11b Metal ores and metal extraction. This powerpoint takes students through how the method of extraction of a metal is based upon the reactivity series. It includes information on 2 biological methods of extraction and also includes a differentiated worksheet.

Edexcel CC4c Electronic configuations. This presentation explores the how to work out the configuration of an element and how it is related to its position in Periodic Table.

This is a powerpoint I use for my year 8 to familiarise them with how to record results, draw tables, make sure results are reliable and then drawing the correct graphs. This sits nicely alongside my other powerpoints on Year 8 maths in science and Year 8 The scientific method.

This is a series of 10 question recall tests for use at the start or end of a lesson. This presentation includes quizzes on microscopes, plant and animal cells, specialised cells and bacteria. 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 rapid fire targeted questions just using the presentation.

Edexcel CC10a Electrolysis. This presentation explores the apparatus sued in electrolysis and the terminology used. It explains why solid ionic substances can not conduct electricity and then takes higher students through the skill of writing half equations and using OILRIG to work out reduction and oxidation. IT also includes 3 differentiated worksheets.

A stand alone resource that I have used for revision of ionic bonding. It guides students how to write the name of ionic compounds, how to draw ionic bonding diagrams and how to write the formulae of ionic compounds. There are 3 opportunities in the presentation for students to practice what has been taught so that any misconceptions can be addressed immediately.

Edexcel CP10c Flemings left hand rule and the motor effect. This powerpoint start by recapping the basics of magnetism and then looks at how Flemings left hand rule determine the direction in which the wire moves. This is followed by calculating the size of the force using the equation F=Bx I x l and includes worked examples. It then moves onto looking at how motors work and the different parts in a motor and finally finishes with the opportunity to build a simple DC motor. There is plenty of opportunity for Afl within this lesson. The workmat also included allows students to work independent of their books as it has key points, learning outcomes and graded questions on it.

An introduction to basic quantitative analysis including making standard solutions, titrations and using titration results in calculations. The presentation can be used as a stand alone lesson when revising or used in conjunction with the booklet when teaching this topic.

Edexcel CC6a Chemistry Covalent Bonding. This is a complete lesson on covalent bonding showing learners how to draw covalent bonding diagrams using the dot and cross method. It also includes a worksheet to practice this.

Edexcel CC4a Elements and the Early Periodic Table. This presentation explores the development of the early Periodic table how Mendeleev used his table to predict the properties of undiscovered elements. It also includes 2 differentiated worksheets.

Edexcel CC3 Chemistry Atomic Structure. This is the first in a series of 3 lessons following CC3 from Edexcel. 2 differentiated worksheets are included with this presentation. This presentation takes a brief look through how the idea of an atom developed over time and uses The Atoms Family ( a set of 3 cartoons I drew to represent the proton, electron and neutron) and helps students remember the properties of each subatomic particle. Penny the proton is positive, Ned the neutron is neutral and Elvis the electron is nEgative ( alliteration!)
