Lessons & Key Content:

1. Three States of Matter – particle arrangement/energy, interconversions.

2. Interconversions, Evaporation & Boiling – modelling changes of state, evaporation vs boiling, PHET simulation.

3. Predicting States & Diffusion – melting/boiling point data, diffusion demos, particle theory.

4. Elements, Compounds & Mixtures – key definitions, pure vs impure substances, melting-point investigation.

5. Filtration & Crystallisation – practical setup, diagrams, solute/solvent explanations.

6. Distillation & Fractional Distillation – separating liquids, apparatus setup, ethanol–water example.

7. Chromatography – method, chromatograms, Rf calculations.

8. (Separate Chemistry) Solubility Curves – reading curves, solubility calculations, crystallisation examples.

All lessons contained in one powerpoint with a consistent, clear structure. Each lesson includes starter slides with title, learning goals and tasks, along with key terms, bolded explanations, and content checked against the specification and examination papers. Core practicals are included where relevant and step-by-step modelling, notes, diagrams and student tasks, blookets and quizzes. The PowerPoint includes click-in animations, embedded video links, model questions and answers, and coursebook tasks to support strong conceptual understanding. Plenaries link back to learning goals. A technician guide and full lesson list appear on Slide 2 for easy planning.

Notes:
Slide 1 is repeated for TES display purposes.
Lesson starter slide background is black but PowerPoint colour schemes vary throughout.
Separate Chemistry content is clearly marked and distinguished from Double Award content.
