These were used on a revision day and were very well received by pupils.
Suitable for KS3 and KS4 chemistry revision on making salts, reactions of acids and states of matter.
Follows the new chemistry Edexcel transition content.
Powerpoint lesson plan available to go with this in the free resources section as I am not the original author of most slides.
A 100 question multiple choice quiz set into rounds. Aimed at foundation for pure knowledge recall.
I use them at the beginning/end of my lessons to get students to recall key information regularly.
Answers are included and instructions for use of the quiz are on one of the beginning slides. An excellent starter/Plenary.
A step by step guide for year 7 up to year 11 revision on how to write word equations for neutralisation. It includes naming salts for hydrochloric, sulphuric and nitric acid and all the general equations.
Four 6 mark writing frames for Edexcel P3 topic 1-4.

Some presents have been stolen from under your tree! The police have found 5 clues at the scene of the crime: some different powders, a shoe print, some fibres and a handwritten christmas card. It’s s down to you to use your problem solving skills and knowledge of chromatography and ions tests to determine which of the 32 suspects stole the presents! The only thing you can’t find out is why…
Students should be given the brief and an hour to try to solve all the clues. The 5 clues are:
-A shoe print - they have to problem solve to figure out which of the 6 it is.
-2 different fibres - they must look at the properties of the materials and decide which items of clothing they came from.
- An ionic compound - they must use knowledge of testing for ions to name the compounds and then assign the right name to the powder found at the scene. Don’t worry, there is step by step information for classes that have not yet studied this.
- A second compound - students will use a flow chart to attempt to name this powder!
- A handwritten christmas card from the thief that just says ‘Sorry!’ - Students have to find the Rf values from the chromatograms from the ink at the scene and from the pens found on the suspects.
This is a Christmas crime with a twist! This is geared more towards KS4 chemistry, but I have done it with a few different sets of year 9 groups and they have loved it!
As the teacher, you will control the clues and some of the information about what was found at the scene. The pieces of information given to the students are outlined in the PowerPoint either on slide 1 or in the notes section of the slide.
THERE ARE NO PRACTICALS PLANNED WITH THIS ACTIVITY! ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SOME PRINTING. You could incorporate practicals in with it if you wanted to, but it is not planned to need any. It is planned to be as low maintainance as possible.
All lessons required for both combined and separate sciences with all resources mentioned attached and differentiated activities (e.g. plenaries)
The lessons follow the new Edexcel textbook so you can use these as well if necessary.
1 - Atomic Models
2 - Inside the atom
3 - Electrons and orbits
4 - Background Radiation

Full unit of work covering both Higher and foundation as well as the separate sciences for the new GCSE physics course for Edexcel (9-1).
Mentioned worksheets or activities are included, as well as a specification for technicians to help with equipment orders and requisitions.
Where possible, all lessons are fully resources and differentiated. I have used these lessons with a top set triple award class, and a bottom set combined group.
Test assessments are includes, but they are just a mix of the questions given by Pearson, so I cannot claim ownership of these. They have been separated into sections to give a PLC for each student for revision purposes.
Full topic following the specification points for the new 9-1 GCSE in Combined science and Physics for Edexcel.
All lessons are in 1 large presentation, clearly showing the progression of the module and linking previous ideas to new ones. There are clear links to forces (Topic 2), radioactivity (topic 6) and Electricity (topic 11). - 8 ish hours for this topic, but revision/test/feedback can be condensed if necessary.
Differentiated tasks - There are opportunities to challenge high abilities given on the slides in red boxes with numerous pit-stops or mini plenaries in every lesson.
Lessons include:
- Conservation of energy
- Energy Efficiency
- Keeping Warm
- Non-renewable sources
- Renewable sources
- Revision
This Resource also includes a homework task.
The assessment for this lesson has been given by Pearson, and is therefore not included in this resource.
The Easter bunny has been murdered by another bunny! Possibly a jealous or overworked one.
There are 5 clues (a couple with science themes) for the teams to figure out to lead them to the final clue. When they have completed the puzzle, they can begin crossing suspects off the list to find the killer!
There really is minimal effort required from the teacher. Set it up, introduce the murder and let them compete. Just tick the team’s box when they have finished each clue and advance the slide to give the answer when the time runs out.
Includes:
PowerPoint presentation leading pupils through the Case brief and clues. Also includes answers.
Anagram code for clue 1
Crossword sheet and answers for clue 2.
Wordsearch for clue 4
Speed calculation sheet for clue 5.
CSI case brief
Front cover for the murder file
List of suspects and information
NB: Clue 3 is found in the presentation so you can edit the names if you like! It is a classification key.

Velocity/Time graphs
1 PowerPoint that includes all lessons for both combined and separate science pathways in the new GCSE specification 2016.
I have used these resources with a top set triple year 10 group and a bottom set year 9 group with good results so it is well differentiated where possible.
If any resources are mentioned but NOT included it is because I did not make them and therefore am not selling them. Check out the free resource part of my page to find it, or contact me and I will send it to you! This includes the tests/assessments.
Revision resources are also included.
Core practical workbooks including all of the required practicals for Edexcel combined and separate/triple sciences. The workbook includes exam style questions for each section so they can be RAG rated. They style of question varies for each practical so the students will practice all of the necessary skills. There are links to videos and simulations which I DO NOT take credit for. This helps students revise or catch up if they have been absent.
The practicals are:
Investigating force, mass and acceleration
Investigating waves
Investigating refraction
Investigating radiation
Investigating resistance
Investigating density
investigating springs
2 PowerPoints; one for Combined and one for the Separate science course as they are quite different.
I have used these resources with a top set triple year 10 group and a bottom set year 9 group with good results so it is well differentiated where possible.
If any resources are mentioned but NOT included it is because I did not make them and therefore am not selling them. Check out the free resource part of my page to find it, or contact me and I will send it to you! This includes the tests/assessments.
This topic covers the new Edexcel GCSE transition content for KS3 into KS4. This scheme challenges the misconceptions pupils start with/have been taught in the that past and builds upon the fundamental ideas.
Plenty of new models and diagrams to help get the ideas across. Many optional practical ideas, including how to get fruit batteries into your lessons, and a fantastic website link. Very interactive slides, ideal for use with a smart board. I don't have one though and it works just fine!
These lessons have been used in observations and coaching, and have received outstanding comments.
Covers:
- Troubleshooting circuits
- Curren tand Voltage
- Measuring current and voltage
- Series circuits and Parallel circuits
- Resistance
- Potential difference
- Ohms law.
