This resource is primarily for high ability year 8 and 9's, however it can be delivered to GCSE students as there is an exam style question at the end. The starter is revision of food, you can use whiteboards; the teacher chooses whether the students give a right answer or a wrong answer to each question. The wrong answer must be linked to the work, not just a random answer. The students loved this! There is a GCSE style question at the end which takes literacy into account. Keywords are on a slide for students who perhaps struggle with literacy. There is a model answer at the end that students can read out.

This spreads over 2 lessons and includes the process of electrolysis and the electrolysis of molten substances. There are various tasks included to break the lesson into smaller chunks. There is also higher tier content such as half equations. Ionic bonding recap Ions Properties Process Half equations Practice questions Diagrams Spot the mistakes

This is a lesson for a year 7 class, although can be used as revision for a higher year. There are fill in the gap slides which you can show lower ability classes OR as an aid for higher achieving students to use their literacy skills to construct their own extended writing. There are pictures showing both internal and external fertilisation. The worksheet starts of easy and goes onto harder questions on the next page; an excellent resource for homework.

This is a round of positive metal ion tests and negative sulfate, carbonate and halide tests. This is great to aid with students revison and recap!

This is the first whole lesson of the Structure and Bonding module in the AQA spec (GCSE triple science chemistry). An introduction to bonding, mentioning the 3 types of bonding. There are plenty of opportunities for self evaluation and peer assessment. There is a differentiated worksheet where the questions gradually get harder and a card sort plenary. This lesson was delivered to a mixed ability GCSE class and can be used as revision also.

This can be used in any lesson for any subject! A frustration board game that can be used for revision lessons, knowledge retrieval, even recapping new content and is a fun way to increase engagement and have some healthy group competition. The cards have been designed so that if you print it double sided, the answers will be at the back. Rules: Players must roll a 6 to leave “home” They have question cards. They can choose which one to answer. Choice one questions allow the participant to move forward one space if they answer correctly, however they move back one if they answer incorrectly. Choice 2 is for 2 spaces, choice 3 is for 3 spaces. Choice 1 are the easiest questions, choice 3 the hardest. The aim of the game is for everyone to get to the middle sections. Happy playing!

This is the alkanes lesson in the organic chemistry module. It involves: naming alkanes, homologous series, deducing molecular formulae, displayed formulae and structural formulae, general information on alkanes and carbon bonding. There is a differentiated worksheet with hints an extension and allowing students to determine the general equation for the formula of alkanes. There are also interactive tasks using whiteboards to test understanding. There is a quiz quiz trade as a fun activity. This was used for a medium ability class but is also very good for higher and low ability.

This resource has been differentiated for high, middle and low ability. It includes a past paper question with different variations for different abilities. There is also a word search and a powerpoint.

This game is a take on the frustration/ludo board game to be played with Y12 chemists. Rules: -Students must roll a dice and land on 6 to remove a counter from “home” (counters are not included). -Students take turns to roll the dice. -Once out of home, students can choose which question to answer in order to proceed on the board game. -The questions are called move 1, move 2 and move 3. If a students for example chooses a move 2 question, if they get it correct they move ahead 2 spaces, if they get it incorrect they move back 2 spaces. -The aim of the game is to get all counters in the middle! *when you print the question cards, the answers appear behind the question. I have included questions but these can be adapted to your content for any year. Happy playing!

This is a full lesson on precious metals and focuses on jewellery with an emphasis on mixtures elements and compounds. There are equations, pictures and a fun design activity at the end which includes group work. The starter tests prior knowledge. Differentiation can be taken advantage of in the group tasks. Year 8 lesson but can be used for year 9's also.

This is a full lesson delivered to year 8 pupils and can be used to test prior knowledge/definitions for older years.
