Lesson helps students understand what happens during chemical reactions and practice writing balanced equations.

This lesson goes with the observation sheet for group 1 metals with water. the slides explain why group 1 elements are called alkaline metals and has activities for writing equations for the group 1 metals.

Lesson explains electron shell diagrams

Full lesson power point presentation. Explains what hydrocarbons are and describes properties of hydrocarbons. Good for GCSE grade 1-9

KS4 lesson but can be used with KS3. Goes through the set up of the periodic table, groups and periods and relative atomic mass.

Lesson goes through structure of the atom, history of the atom and atoms elements and compounds. Lesson summary sheet has also been included with important points for students.

This worksheet can be used with the practical demonstration of group 1 elements with water. Students write down their observations and write the word/symbol equations for the reactions.

This lesson explains what an isotope is and challenges students to work out the number of protons and neutrons in isotopes. Students are further pushed to calculate the isotopic mass of elements.

This word search can be used as a quick 5 minute starter activity.
