End of KS3 Matter project

This project was designed as part of a Y9 SOW. The idea is that the project should take 4 - 6 lessons and will ensure that students recall and understand the basics needed to access GCSE. This is part of a series of 10 projects (all of which can be found in my shop) to cover all KS3 content before beginning GCSE.

GCSE Chemistry flipped learning/revision booklet

GCSE Chemistry flipped learning/revision booklet

(2)
This booklet fits the new AQA Combined and Separate Science Chemistry courses. This booklet is intended to be used as a flipped learning activity before the start of each topic, but can also be used as a independent revision booklet. See instructions on the front: Before the topic • Use your revision guide to answer the 10 comprehension questions covering the basics relating to that topic. • The aim is that you cover these beforehand so that we can spend lesson time on application of knowledge. • All information can be found on the revision guide pages that are referenced for each topic. After the topic • Look back over your original answers and add to them using purple pen. Extension Each topic will have an extension question that requires you to apply your knowledge of the basics. You can attempt this before or after the topic. The revision guide page references are for the Collins AQA guides.

Electrolysis of aqueous solutions

Electrolysis of aqueous solutions

(0)
A3 resource to help students visualise what is happening during the electrolysis of four different aqueous solutions (*AQA REQUIRED PRACTICAL). Splits the solutions into the anode and cathode. I tend to work through the first example on the visualiser in this order: 1 - Identify the four ions present in the solution 2 - Draw the two ions that would be attracted to the cathode in the cathode half, repeat for the anode. 3 - Use the rules printed at the top to then identify the product at each electrode. 4 - State the reason for each product (again using the rules at the top) Students can then try the other three examples on their own.

Structure strips to help students answer common Structure & Bonding explain questions. This resource is aimed at lower ability but could be used to aid structuring exam questions for any ability.
Strcuture & Bonding picture prompt

Strcuture & Bonding picture prompt

(0)
Retrieval practice activity. Most useful as revision at the end of the topic as requires knowledge of all three bonding types. Each worksheet includes 5 pictures and the pupil must suggest how each picture links to the topic. Standard version are slightly easier to link to the topic (e.g. covalent bonding diagram for water). Hard version more conceptually challenging (e.g. pictures showing transfer, sharing etc)
Bunsen burner license lesson

Bunsen burner license lesson

(4)
A lesson aimed at new Y7 classes to familiarise them with a Bunsen burner. Includes a sequencing activity on how to turn on a Bunsen and a label the diagram activity. Ends with the students then following the sequence to safely turn, and alter the flame, to earn their Bunsen Burner license.
