A full lesson with tailored activity sheet to teach students about the structure and properties of metals and metallic bonds. This lesson uses a series of short animations and videos, each with complimentary activities, to discuss the bonding of metallic elements, and how this leads to their bonding properties. An enjoyable lesson, with great impact at imparting key ideas.

A lesson to compliment the teaching of surface area to volume ratio, and its effect on the rate of diffusion. This lesson takes has a maths focus of encouraging students to calculate surface area to volume ratio, and then comparing these values to the time taken for HCl to diffuse into cubes of agar gel which are soaked in phenolphthalein. Differentiated and engaging for an otherwise dry topic.

A full lesson on cracking, taking students through the ideas of why cracking is important for supply to meet demand, to the formation and structure of alkenes, and their potential uses.

KS3 lesson introducing the idea of electrical power and cost. Will most likely last around 45 minutes. Can be accompanied with a worsheet to last the full hour if needed.

A worksheet for students to use to guide independent learning on the structure of metals and how this links to their properties. This ideally compliments a lesson which is available here

Mixtures Vs. Compounds lesson. You will require sulfur, iron, magnesium, and bunsen burners. A fun and engaging lesson enjoyed by students.

A lesson discussing different methods to separate mixtures, before leading students through simple paper chromatography. Follow up activities to the practical are included. A fun lesson with great impact.

A lesson where students research different models of the periodic table. Designed to cover all learning outcomes for the AQA trilogy GCSE. Fun and independent!

KS4 lesson taking students through the applications and uses of equations to calculate Ke, GPE, and Ee. Each equation is introduced in a way where students begin to think about the equations, and how different factors affect the amount of energy in different stores, before students begin to consider the use of equations in an exam context. Differentiated questions demanding students convert units and consider the form of their answers. What’s more, the final questions require students to interchange values between stores of GPE, Ke, and Ee.

An introduction to Endothermic and Exothermic reactions aimed at KS4, taking students through a practical activity, before students attempt to tackle energy profiles.

Lesson introducing the reactivity of halogens at KS3. Viles of Cl, Br, and I can be brought in tot he lesson to show students - practicals not recommended for safety purposes.

PP. slide for uses of exothermic and endothermic reactions in hot and cold packs.

A comparative worksheet where students look for advantages and disadvantages for historical models of the atom.

A fun introductory lesson for students to understand atoms and elements.

Full lesson introducing students to the idea of a simple covalent molecule, before helping students to understand their properties. Exercises using molymods used to make very abstract ideas more concrete. An evaluative exercise is used to promote higher order thinking. Built in reflection at the end of the lesson.

Several lessons to take students through the structure of the digestive system, enzyme functioning, and how environmental conditions can affect the rate of enzyme action. These lessons are fully resourced, and will take students through all of the key ideas behind the digestion unit of B3, including a comprehensive review and follow up of the enzymes required practical. An enjoyable set of lessons, with high impact.

A series of approximately three lessons where students are taken through: The structure of simple covalent molecules The properties of simple covalent molecules The structure of giant covalent molecules The properties of giant covalent molecules Structures of polymers Representing the structures of polymers Forming polymers There is a theme throughout this series of lessons where students use molymods to make abstract concepts far more concrete. This aids understanding and promotes engagement throughout a topic which can be both conceptually challenging, and quite dry to teach to students.

A KS4 lesson covering the formation of crude oil, as well as the consequences of burning crude oil once formed. A hollistic approach to the topic where students begin to understand the disparity of timings between formation and combustion of crude oil.

Two lessons surrounding mitosis. Students are taken through the ideas and importance of mitosis, before considering the mechanism of mitosis. A practical lesson is then included with instructions on how to visualize mitosis in allium roots. Instructions provided by the Nuffield foundation.

Lesson (including practical activity) for the displacement reactions of metals and the reactivity series. Engaging practical activity, and creative opportunity for students to write their own mnemonics.
