A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about how salts can be made by reacting a metal oxide and base. Students will be able to name salts or determine the reactants that form them, balance equations regarding salts and for a high ability stretch use moles in order to calculate the needed masses of reactants to react completely. Progress checks are available following each success criteria Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Learning objective: Justify how specific salts can be synthesised with reference to amounts. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: Identify the products / reactants of an acid-base reaction. Describe how to balance equations. Explain why equations must be balanced. Powerpoint contains 21 slides. Some prior information is needed for understanding chemical formulae in the later parts of the lesson.

A Powerpoint resource that is ready to use out of the box. Contains KS3 and KS4 content, each of which is signposted per activity. Learning objective: Justify why containers become pressurised and explain its uses with water rockets. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: -State what is meant by pressure. -Describe how gas particles interact with the wall of the container. -Explain why each of the following increases pressure: Increasing temperature, Increasing the amount of gas particles, Decreasing volume of the container. This resource also contains a practical lesson, risk assessment, results (+ class results) and evaluation. Videos included of how to launch a water rocket. Contains 24 slides in total.

A beginner’s approach lesson to making bar and line graphs. Following the lesson, learners will be able to determine whether bar graphs or line graphs are necessary to represent data and will be able to construct these graphs independently. Learning objective: Evaluate the construction of graphs and tables… Success criteria: Identify bar and line graphs. Describe how and when to plot bar and line graphs. Explain why graphs are used. 7 Slides included.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what is meant by Mr. Describe how to calculate moles. Predict mass yields in reactions.
