There is a set of differentiated questions on density calculations and theory to challenge students - the calculation answers are on the presentation.

Presentations and worksheets for 2 lessons. The first lesson introduces the concept of neutralisation for GCSE and how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. The second lesson is a practical on the preparation of a sample of a salt by the neutralisation of an acid with a suitable metal.

This lesson links to the new AQA physics / Trilogy GCSE. The resources give pupils the opportunity to use graphs to carry out data analysis and make conclusion from the data they find. The data is linked to domestic and global energy demands and the energy resources we use to provide these needs. One of the tasks includes a group activity where pupils need to present their findings. There is a starter to summarise environmental issues linked to use of fossil Fuels. The lesson also includes how fossil fuel and nuclear power stations generate electricity where pupils complete a sequencing activity.

A chance for pupils to write extended answers on misconceptions / difficult concepts from C1. I have included a set of sample answers that can also be provided. I sometimes print this on A3 paper and get pupils in small groups to work collaboratively.

Various presentations of the the metals in the reactivity series. The metals are not in the correct order and pupils need to say of the next metal in the presentation will be higher or lower in the reactivity series. Change the first slide to include your name. There are different versions so you can do the activity quickly, more than once. I have also included the correct order so you can show this first. A fun, fast paced stater or plenary resource for KS3 and KS4
