This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Chemistry GCSE, particularly the ‘Atomic Structure & Periodic Table’ SoW. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This lesson begins with student discussing the differences between atoms, compounds & mixtures and writing their ideas down, this is knowledge they should be able to recall from KS3. This is then explored further using an animation with questions that pupils are required to answer. After self-assessment of this task pupils are introduced to the definitions of each: atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures and will need to complete a fill-in-the-blank task to summarise. Pupils will then be given a selection of diagrams on the board, they will need to determine whether these diagrams are representing elements, compounds or mixtures. Once complete they can self-asses their work using the answers provided. The next part of the lesson introduces students to the idea of the periodic table, pupils will need to stick in a copy of it and then will be given a task sheet which can be completed using the names and symbols of the elements. The plenary task is a set of questions about what students have learnt that lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

Card Sort on definitions and examples of atoms, molecules, elements, compounds & mixtures. Great as starter, plenary or revision activity. Card Sort: 25 cards per set Including shuffled version

A KS3 lesson looking at the difference between atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures, how to represent elements as symbols and interpreting the numbers of atoms and elements in a chemical compound. The lesson features: -An engaging starter task using a video to ascertain students prior ideas around what elements are (Daniel Radcliffe singing 'the elements song') -Key term and definition match - Quick multiple choice questions to assess student understanding - A task using sweets to model atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures including an opportunity for students to explain their arrangements - A worksheet requiring students to recognise atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures -An activity to help students recognise element symbols on the periodic table An activity to practice recognising numbers of atoms and elements in chemical formulae

Get as many samples of elements as possible and use to introduce the idea that there are different elements and how they differ. A presentation and accompanying worksheets are included. Test tubes of air can be labelled as gases etc. If needed

This PowerPoint provides a creative and easy to use resource for introducing atoms, elements, and the differences between them. It includes a few shorter activities that engage students as well as a longer writing task.

Learning outcomes: Define the key words atom and element Identify elements from their symbols Describe the basic structure of the periodic table

This is the first of 5 lessons aimed at giving students from year 7 a good grounding in atoms and elements. The lesson covers the origin of the word atoms, the definition of atoms, the original ideas about the indivisibility of atoms. It introduces students to the 3 subatomic particles and the importance of each to the atom. The lesson introduces elements and the purity of elements. It explains why elements are different from each other. The early idea that there were just 4 elements that combined to make up everything that exist. The lesson introduces students to the occurrence of elements, a video link to when individual elements were discovered so that they can appreciate that elements were not all discovered at the same time. Students are also introduced to how elements are extracted.Students learn that elements can be classified in many ways; metals, non-metals, solid, liquid or gas. It provides students an interesting understanding of how elements obtained their names. There is an ICT activity that students can complete as homework to research examples of elements named by different categories. The link between the symbol of an element and its names, highlighting why the symbol of an element like potassium is K , meanwhile there no K in the English name for the element. Each slide has an audio to help students who would like to listen and read at the same time. The lesson finishes with a summary fill in the gap worksheet that students complete. Answers provided.

Please provide feedback or comment on the resource. Lesson Includes: PowerPoint and Worksheet Activity Lesson Objective: To be familiar with the subatomic particles within atoms. Success Criteria: I can recall the properties of protons, neutrons and electrons. I can calculate the maximum number of electrons in each shell. I can draw electrons using the Bohr model and write their electron configuration number.
