Students investigate the Hidenberg disaster and become experts in specific group 0 elements to see which gas would be more suitable than Hydrogen to prevent a repeat of the well known disaster.

Using fictional facebook profiles of Mendeleev and Laviousier to complete a literacy task introducing the periodic table

Student's use simple pieces of equipment to choose a suitable material to pad the inside of Iron man&'s armor. Students then evaluate their choice. This can be completed over two lessons to allow adequate planning time.

Using a classic conduction experiment to investigate which material will prevent Gordon Ramsey burning himself in the future. Students produce a conclusion and an evaluation of their findings.

Russell the Wilderness Explorer wants to earn his expansion and contraction badge, can you help? Students become adventure explorers and earn badges by defining key terms from earlier on in the unit. Students watch classic demonstrations (could be completed as class experiments) and video clips from the movie to help them explain why particles expand when heated and contract during cooling. Higher students are introduced to the idea of density before answering and evaluating an assessed question. I used this lesson very successfully in an Ofsted observation. Students find this lesson incredibly engaging- I thought I'd share this resource for free due to the Disney copy right issues etc.

Student's plan a simple experiment to see what colour iron man suit emits the least amount of heat energy.

Student consolidate their understanding of the heating and cooling unit by completed a circus of timed Level 7 questions in groups. Keywords: convection, conduction, insulation, emitting radiation.

Students design an experiment to test the strength of a rope bridge to see if Indianna Jones could safely cross it while carrying the Ark...

This lesson is a free resource from my quantitative chemistry SOW avalaible from my shop. All resources include a blast from the past recall starter, PowerPoints, resources, Higher tier and Foundation learning outcomes, practical experiment instructions and technician notes and exam practice with model answers.

Using a range of simple equipment to plan a simple but precise thermometer based on Galileo's ideas. The final pieces of equipment can then be used in a competition to find a mystery temperature and then evaluated.

A nice way to finish off the Year for Year 12 students. A range of topics including: Psychologists in the Sun (disguised psychologists in which students need to identify) Disney disorders (characters and their possible mental health issues) Localisation of the brain (match) Peer question round As well as traditional: Food and drink (multiple choice) Summer knowledge (multiple choice) Music round (resource was made in 2017!)

Students are introduced to the pain reliever 'Entonox' a gas made from molecules comprised of nitrogen and oxygen. Students have ten minutes to build a moli-model and read an information sheet related to a compound of nitrogen and oxygen to see if it would be suitable for pain relief. Once students have completed three models they come to a conclusion of which gas would be most suitable: nitrogen monoxide, dinitrogen monoxide or nitrogen dioxide. Higher level students can be introduced to coefficients and subscripted numbers in relation to symbol formulae.

Students use murder mystery sorting cards to piece together the events that lead to Robbie Malone's death. Once students are introduced to carbon monoxide students use a series of videos and questions to discover it's effects.

Students are introduced to the environmental effects of acid rain within a community. Teacher burns sulphur in a gas jar of water and universal indicator to demonstrate acid rain in a jar. Students use a series of disguised buffer solutions and pH probes to collect enough data to discover which areas produce the lowest pH water samples. After the teacher demonstrates the production of carbonic acid and sulphuric acid students use pH probes to investigate different samples of water collected in the local environment (buffer solutions). Students use their results to identify which area has the lowest pH and begin to consider explanations for these findings.

Students are asked to think about all of the chemicals and substances inside the oceans of the Earth. After probably getting a few answers like "fish" students should move onto ideas such as salt, sand, and pollutants. Students recap the idea of filtration to remove insoluble "garbage islands" from the sea and are then introduced to the idea of evaporation to remove the salt. The use of producing fresh water from brine as well as salt is discussed. After completing a class risk assessment, students complete a practical experiment. Evaporating salt from "seawater" in an evaporating dish. Students write their conclusion and then improve using expert language.

students organise themselves into teams and write two questions using the three topics they have learnt so far (gender, eating behaviour and aggression) to use in the peer question round. Each team takes it in turns to choose a round. 1_ Peer question 2) Christmas knowledge 3) Ding dong slurp slurp (remembering studies to names) 4) Give us some figgy pudding (Christmas related eating behaviour questions) 5) Christmas music round 6) Christmas food and drink 7) 12.00 days of christmas (12 days of christmas and research method questions) 8) Santa and his elves (Psychology explanations round) 9) TV and movies 10) Bearded psychologists (Psychologists disguised with festive beards) Merry christmas!

After the results that 'sharks can smell blood from further distances in warmer oceans' tourist numbers to Australia's famous landmark 'Surfer's Paradise' has been low. Students evaluate their conclusion from last lessons experiment to ensure their findings reflect the truth. Students consider strengths and limitations of their method and begin to discuss ways to modify the method to further improve the strength of their results.

The remaining teeth of Granny W are pretty darn sweet! Can students help her decide on how to make the sweest tea possible using their understanding of solubility from the Five S's treasure hunt lesson? (I hope they can). After using a model of rice and peas to demonstrate solvents, solutes, solution and saturation students are introduced to the scenario. Students are split into six groups and given information packs related to one of three experiments (two groups for each experiment). Students will have an A3 poster style planning sheet to plan and complete an experiment to test whether: -Water has a saturation point? -Temperature of the solvent affects solubility of the solute? -Surface area of the sugar affects solubility? Students complete their posters and share their findings to the class.

If you were wondering they are: Solute, solvent, solution, saturation and Solubility... Students start the lesson by thinking of as many scientific questions they ask about the picture that is on the board (a cup of tea). Students should be prompted to think of as many aspects of science they can apply to this quite simple picture... teacher could write answers on the board and praise legitimate ideas. Use the starter to discuss the idea of the five S's. Student complete a table during a treasure hunt that includes definitions and examples. Students discuss answers and watch video clip to reinforce their understanding. The teacher demonstrates saturation and conservation of mass by adding a spatula of sugar into a beaker of warm water on a weighing scales. Students complete the worksheet in any order they like to demonstrate their ability.

Edexcel Core Chemistry Chemistry in our Modern World Topic 1 Lesson 3 and 4 Students use their scientific skills to plan, implement and evaluate a simple experiment that proves the composition of oxygen in the modern day atmosphere. The first hour is spent planning a procedure, discussing methods to control certain variables and to design a table to collect data that is in concordance to the edexcel controlled assessment. The second hour is used to collect the data and to form a conclusion. This conclusion is then compared to a pie chart to see how accurate the experiment was.
