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

Lesson Workbook This resource is a ten page lesson booklet on the subject of elements, compounds and mixtures. Included within this workbook: Key Definitions Diagrams Element Factfile Task Simple Reaction Equations Atoms and Elements in Compounds Mixture Separation Techniques Examples of Each Word search This lesson workbook is ideal for grades five to eight depending on ability - please view the preview included. This workbook generally takes an hour for a class to complete and I have found it very useful as a summary tool. Please note that some of my resources may have American spellings. Thank you very much.

Designed to be delivered to Year 9 class but can be adapted for different year groups / abilities. Recaps on atomic structure. Defines elements, compounds and mixtures with examples. Worksheet included to test the students understanding. Rules for naming compounds given. Activity for students to complete word equations and name compounds. Exam style questions for plenary. Higher ability level attached.

Table top card sort! Straight forward activity for students to consolidate knowledge of elements, compounds and mixtures. 15 substances require sorting and matching to definitions. Answer sheet included!

Visual KS3 Science lesson of atoms, elements, compounds, and mixtures with a variety of tasks. Works brilliantly for all abilitites, and is very visual for low prior attaining/EAL students.

With a focus on the Iron sulfide practical, targeted at lower ability year 7.

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

Using chocolate M and M's and models to teach elements, compounds and mixtures

Provides a quick recap about elements, mixtures and compounds including using particle diagrams to illustrate each type.

The Elements, Compounds and Mixtures science doodles is a great way for students to organise information and review concepts in a visual and engaging way. A great way for students to identify and define these three types of substances. Comes with a bonus activity puzzle sheet! Students can complete either of the two differentiated versions. Version 1: Students research the elements, compounds and mixtures to complete the science doodles. Version 2: Students write the key words into the gap fill spaces to complete the science doodles. Includes a PowerPoint word bank of key words for the gap fill version as well as a model example which can be used as an answer key. Great accompaniment to this resource: Atoms Cut and Paste Activity and Word Search Clipart by: Clipartino

KS3 Science Edexcel Yr7 Revision Spread and Answer Sheet - Chemistry: Topic 7E Mixtures and Separation. This A4 revision spread condenses the Edexcel topic 7E onto one A4 sheet which can be printed off and filled in to aid revision and help summarize the topic. A full answer sheet is provided which can be used to mark the filled in revision spread and can also be used as a revision poster.

Tarsia puzzle on definitions and examples of atoms, molecules, elements, compounds & mixtures. Great as starter, plenary or revision activity. Includes solution and jumbled up versions. Also includes easier version (both with solution and jumbled up) Print on A3 for larger triangles.

Students create bingo cards from the words shown and then questions are asked, the answers to which are on the cards. Good starter or plenary.

This worksheet is aimed at KS3 and GCSE Chemistry students. The students are asked to sort the diagrams and information as element, compound or mixture.

Pupils must classify things as an element, compound, or mixture based on a formula/picture. They must then draw molecules from a formula/write a formula from a molecule as an extension activity.

Notes cover the specification points 1.8 - 1.13: Classifying Substances Pure Substances - Melting & Boiling Point Simple & Fractional Distillation Filtration Crystallisation Paper Chromatography (using inks / food colourings) Composition of a Mixture Calculating Rf Values More resources like this at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/evinkapasaribu

Easy to differentiate further. Summary task of “atoms, elements and compounds” with answers. Word cloud for students to annotate, draw diagrams for, summarise their learning… use for spelling tests, make questions using the words, play Taboo, word splat, mind map, etc…

The compounds and mixtures Venn diagram graphic organiser is a great way for students to compare and contrast these two chemical substances. Includes two versions: Version 1. Students cut and paste labels onto the correct part of the Venn diagram. Version 2. Students write the correct statement into boxes on the Venn diagram. Also includes a bonus word search and comes with an answer key.

Elements Compounds and Mixtures: These cootie catchers are a great way for students to have fun while learning about elements compounds and mixtures. These cootie catchers contain the following vocabulary terms: ♦ Element, Compound, Mixture, Homogeneous mixture, Heterogeneous mixture, Solvent, Solute These cootie catchers come in color and black & white, and also come with a version where students can add their own definitions. All of this totals 4 usable pages which has students identifying vocabulary terms (with pictures) based from the definition. ***** Do a search for my other Cootie Catchers in the folllowing topics: ***** Space Science: ♦ Comets, Meteors, & Asteroids ♦ Constellations ♦ Eclipses ♦ Life Cycles of Stars ♦ Moon Phases ♦ Planets ♦ Solar System and Space ♦ Clouds ♦ Earthquakes & Plate Tectonics ♦ Erosion ♦ Fossils ♦ Layers of the Atmosphere ♦ Layers of the Earth ♦ Landforms ♦ Natural Disasters ♦ Natural Resources ♦ Rock Cycle ♦ Rocks and Minerals ♦ Seasons ♦ Soil ♦ Volcanoes ♦ Water Cycle ♦ Weather Life Science: ♦ Animal Adaptations ♦ Biomes ♦ Cell Organelles ♦ Classification and Taxonomy ♦ Ecosystems ♦ Evolution ♦ Food Web ♦ Habitats ♦ Human Body ♦ Life Cycles ♦ Photosynthesis ♦ Plants ♦ Six Kingdoms of Life Physical Science: ♦ Atomic Structure ♦ Circuits ♦ Element Compound and Mixture ♦ Force and Motion ♦ Forms of Energy ♦ Light Energy ♦ Magnets ♦ Reflection and Refraction ♦ Scientific Method ♦ Simple Machines ♦ Sound Energy ♦ States of Matter ♦ Thermal Energy ♦ Waves
