Middle school chemistry resources

A planning scaffold aimed at lower ability / SEN pupils to support with demonstrating the practical skills and thinking skills required in the new science national curriculum. Can be easily adapted to meet needs of higher attaining pupils.

Fully resourced power- points and Edexcel past exam questions to guide pupils through Ionic and Covalent Bonding (Edexcel SC5 & SC6) - Approximately 6 lessons worth for middle-ability Y9/10 pupils. All slides on dyslexia friendly background colours and each slide is simply presented, complete with activities and practice tasks. Exam questions with mark schemes included, taken from ExamWizard. Practical requirements included for Ionic/Covalent identifying investigation (Legacy GCSE Spec C2.14) Images are not my own.

Documents that can be shared with students that highlight all required practicals for the separate science pathway and the trilogy pathway. Each RP is split into a YouTube video that demonstrates how to carry out the practical. It contains BBC Bitesize links that give students more information about the subject content.

New AQA GCSE Chemistry 9-1 specification. Topic 4 Chemical Changes. Covers all of the theory topics, reactivity series, extraction of metals, acids, redox, pH, neutralisation, electrolysis. Includes the additional for Chemistry as a single science (all is there for trilogy - just miss the chemistry only bits). Practicals not included here. Useful for students to use for revision, and for teachers to use in a lesson as an activity or plenary. Good instructional material for a flipped classroom. Includes a 'Do' and 'Review' slide, the 'Do' will check understanding and make the learning more active, the 'Review' can help students check answers and act as a revision card. Equally works well as a starter for the next lesson to check retention. Many uses e.g. support mats, starter, plenary, revision etc.

These documents are for student revision activities and include a list of key words and meanings for each of the Topics in the AQA Trilogy specification as described in the approved Oxford text books. They are intended to be used to test pupils understanding. This could take place either during the relevant topic or as a test at the end and is designed to complement other revision tools such as past paper questions
