I taught this lesson to a low ability year 9 class and it is based on the new GCSE spec. It has a really scaffolded worksheet included in the powerpoint which you could adapt to challenge higher ability students (See cover image). Once students have figured out how to calculate speed on their own using the worksheet and the guided questions they carry out an experiment to apply their new knowledge. This come in the form of a trolley and ramp experiment. The students investigate what happens to the speed of the trolley when the height. of the ramp is increased. We are lucky enough to have the equipment in my school but it could easily be carried out with a toy car and a plank of wood raised by books. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This assembly starts by getting student to think about new years resolutions they made in 2020 and probably failed at. It then goes through a more sustainable long term 5 year plan and what this might look like for students. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the new year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it, especially when students got involved. Save yourself some time this Christmas and grab a bargain. Thanks Jonny

This lesson encourages students to question different aspects of the periodic table such as groups and periods and investigate patterns in properties of elements. All worksheets provided within power point except a periodic table which can easily be sourced online. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

I used this assembly last September with my school assembly and it went down really well with the students really captivated by the story of David Phillips who managed to collected 1.25million air miles by buying puddings (look the story up on google - worth a read). Essentially, the powerpoint which lasts around 15minutes goes through David's story but then uses it as an analogy for "life miles" which they collect when they attend school, it goes through how to collect more " life miles" and shows you what you can buy with them which is essentially choices like university, dream jobs, travelling the world. Save yourself some time and effort and get this ready to use off the shelf assembly. Thanks for looking Jon

This assembly grabs the students attention with the first slide asking them to vote whether or not school should start at 10am instead of 8.50. The assembly goes on to look at the arguments for and against and the current research that is going on in the uk at the moment with 100 test school. I went on to tell them that unfortunately we haven't been selected for the trial but its findings could impact us. I then went on to say that until then they should take note of the sleep scientists top tips for a good night sleep which includes the science of blue light from mobile phone screens and its effect on the sleep hormone melatonin. This powerpoint lasts around 15minutes. Enjoy.

Please find a whole lesson I taught on velocity time graphs which is designed for the new GCSE specification. Enjoy

In this lesson students are given a range of cards with select information about different elements, just as Mendeleev had. They are then set the task of arranging the cards in anyway they see fit. They then look at how Mendeleev arranged them and used them to make predictions about missing elements which the students then do. The lesson concludes with a six mark question on how the periodic table is arranged. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

In this lesson students apply their knowledge of calculating empirical formula by reacting known masses of magnesium with unknown masses of oxygen to make a known mass of magnesium oxide which they can then use along with relative atomic masses to calculate the ratio of oxygen to magnesium and in turn the empirical formula of magnesium oxide.

This lesson covers the changing models of the atom up until todays structure with the nucleus containing neutrons and protons and surrounded by shells containing electrons.

This lesson revolves around a practical where students have to experimentally determine which site of salt production presents the best yield of salt. Students then use their results to calculate the concentration in g/dm. This is then built on in the following lesson to calculate mol/dm. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This is an introductory lesson to chromatography and the term pure. Students create a chromatogram of their own pen and compare it to others. They discover real life applications of this technique.

This introductory lesson has a built in worksheet which challenges students understanding of momentum and really gets them to understand how momentum can be manipulated by velocity and mass - essentially students work out the momentum of 3 different size vehicles which turn out to have the same momentum. This lesson is simply a step by step guide to calculating momentum and worked really well with my low ability year 11 class.

Lesson 1 is based around flame tests for various cations Lesson 2 is based around precipitation reactions for various anions Each lesson was created for a triple science top set class and lasted an our each. Each has regular learning checks and opportunities for independent work. Save yourself some time and hassle and grab yourself a bargain.

This lesson teaches students to first calculate moles of a substance from Ar and mass in grams, it then leads on to calculations of moles from Mr and then from concentrations in mol/dm. It then differentiates for students who understand it quickly and are set independent work (worksheets provided) and another teacher focus group with a more scaffolded worksheet.

I printed these cards of for students with corresponding pages in the Edexcel additional science book (purple one) and got them to answer the questions accordingly and in turn making their own flash cards. They then whole punched the corners and treasury tagged them together. Great little revision resource.

This lesson is intended for GCSE students at looks at what the atomic number and atomic mass tell us about the atom. It also looks at the idea of isotopes.

Based on the new GCSE spec, this lesson worked really well for a year 9 low ability class. It is heavily scaffolded and because of this enabled each student to reach the two objectives of the lesson which were: Core- Identify vector and scalar quantities Challenge- Explain the difference between a scalar and vector quantity It included plenty of on the go assessment to check where each student is at different parts of the lesson. There is a built in worksheet (see cover picture) that can be built upon throughout the whole lesson and means students can work independently a lot of the time.

This lesson encourages students to start thinking about continuous and discontinuous data with lots of concrete examples. They plot a human bar graph of favourite colours and then carry out a small experiment investigating how the volume of vinegar added to baking soda alters the amount of foam produced. This easily lasts a double lesson (100minutes) and is a really fun way to get students engaged with graphs. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This is a fully differentiated lesson which assesses where students are in real time during the lesson, encouraging them to reflect on their own practice and decide on what worksheet they will need to complete. The lower ability sheet is for completion with the teacher and gets students to continue with a pattern and then decide on the pattern to pattern rule and frames it enough for them to create nth term expressions. It also includes really challenging pattern sequences fro the most able to allow them to be stretched. All worksheets have been built in and answers are provided.

This is an introductory lesson where students use their prior knowledge of atomic mass (Protons and neutrons) to create their own definition for an isotope. They are then guided on how to calculate relative atomic masses from relative abundances of isotopes. Worked well with a middle ability year 9 class.
