The slides contain a series of thought processes and frameworks so teachers can model out load their approach for students to use during comprehension and reading of scientific ideas. The lesson could be adapted for other topics. This lesson focuses on an end of Year test including: Acids and alkalis, homeostasis, energy stores and transfers, the particle model and reflection/refraction. Lesson content -Students complete a recap quiz. -Students complete a reading task in which they synthesis the data to title paragraphs and write one question. -Students get into groups and circulate around the room reading an exam question, completing an answer, and folding it over so the next group cannot see their answer. Once back at their stations they draft a final answer to share to the class based on the class responses. -Meta cognition slides and exam style practice.

Students are introduced to how scientists investigate the Earth’s early atmosphere. They are introduced with the problem of not having empirical evidence (that cannot be directly observed). Students join Doctor who ona journey back to the beginning of the Earth’s early atmosphere. Students observe directly how the Earth’s atmosphere changes and plot the changes on a line graph that overlays oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen changes. Students finish the lesson with an introduciton into the modern day atmosphere.

Resources for two lessons. Students are introduced to a murder mystery in which (spoiler alert!) it is due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Students watch video clips and answer comprehension questions regarding the dangers and effects on the body. In the second lesson students focus on their scientific skills. Rewriting and improving a method for two environmental scientists investigating the relationship between distance from a city and the level of carbon particulates. Students represent the data with a line graph and form conclusions.

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students watch a news report regarding an acidifed lake and form questions regarding how it may have happened. Students watch the demonstration: ‘Acid rain in a jar’ and complete a mini-quiz of their new knowledge. students are introduced to a environmental chemsitry scenario in which they need to complete a graph work to analyse why fish populations are increasing and decreasing during the year HINT: Acid rain is freezing in the winter and melting into the lake in the summer.

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students are introduced to an inquiry photograph regarding forest fires. Students use the scenario built up from a video clip that allow the students to investigate what causes combustion. Students are introduced to the evidence that oxygen is an reactant, carbon dioxide is a product. Students write a report to the firefighter with their findings and possible methods of putting the fire out.

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students are introduced to hydrocarbon fuels by planning and completing an experiment to test two hypotheses: H1) Longer chain hydrocarbons release more energy and H2) Shorter chain molecules burn cleaner. Students decide what application the fuels have in an AFl task. Bonus: A version of the lesson with a christmas theme is included "which fuels could power Santa’s Sleigh’.

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students compete a discussion and inquiry question regarding tan oil. Students complete a range of tasks that introduces them to the mixture crude oil and links the theory of distillation to separation techniques (from Year 7).

In the first lesson students use the hook of Ramesses II and carbon dating to introduce the idea of isotopes. Following the PowerPoint, students test their knowledge with a series of questions. In the second lesson students use sodium as an example to explore the idea of relative atomic mass. Students run through calculating relative atomic masses from isotope abundances and use their knowledge to answer the questions.

Students remind themselves of what are common indicators of a chemical reaction and watch the video link of Professor McG transfiguring into a cat from the first Harry Potter movie. Students then watch a demonstration of Lead nitrate + Potassium Chloride --> Lead chloride and Potassium nitrate. Students then calculate the masses of the reactants and products.
