A template which can be laminated and used to scaffold equation questions for students. The template walks students through how to determine information provided from questions, relate this to equations, rearrange equations, and ultimately solve for answers. A useful tool which can be used to build confidence in LA students. Laminating this document produces a resource which students can easily use over and over for different equations, and can change their working without feeling under pressure to have correct working in their books.

A full lesson, including practical, for the tests and uses of alkenes, where students are also introduced to the ideas of polymers, and how to draw polymers. An enjoyable lesson, where students have previously made excellent progress.

A full lesson taking students through the structure of alkanes, the process of fractional distillation, and the uses of different fractions. All key ideas from the AQA GCSE syllabus are included, with a focus on flammability and viscosity with regard to uses of fractions. This lesson could be used to cover several learning episodes, and builds nicely on key concepts. It has proven very powerful in building key ideas in what can be a tricky process for students to understand.

Activation energy and ECHG required practical lesson. Can be split over two lessons.

ECHG Energy changes assessment map - foundation tier. Covers all learning outcomes for AQA Combined trilogy GCSE Foundation tier.

KS4 lesson where students investigate key endothermic and exothermic reactions from the AQA Combined Science Triolgy syllabus. A practical heavy lesson where students go through: Reactions of metals with acids Reactions of carbonates Thermal decomposition Ammonium nitrate and water Combustion reactions A very enjoyable lesson which fully engages students and gets them thinking.

A full lesson taking students through the structure of the atom, before understanding how the structure of the atom was determined. Students also complete an evaluative exercise where they compare and contrast historical atomic structures, before determining their advantages and disadvantages. Covers all learning outcomes for atomic structure for the AQA Chemistry Trilogy Syllabus. A fun and engaging lesson for what can be a dry topic.

Whole lesson on covalent bonding. The only other required resource is a template for students to make their own covalent molecule’s dot-cross diagrams. These can be downloaded for free here. A enjoyable lesson which breaks down a topic which students often find to be tricky.

Introductory lesson for KS4 animal and plant cells. The lesson covers levels of organization, as well as animal and plant cell structures, covering organelles and functions. This lesson will most likely last around 40 minutes, but can easily be accompanied by extra exam questions. This lesson has a high student focus, with many different opportunities for reflection.

KS4 Microscopes overview lasting 2 to 3 lessons. This presentation takes students through the parts of a light microscope, to using light microscopes, including the AQA required practical. Magnification equations are demonstrated, and there is an independent research activity to investigate the differences between light microscopes, compared with electron microscopes.

A three hour lesson taking students through specialized cells, differentiation, stem cells, and the uses of stem cells. The lesson contains individual activities, summaries of content, as well as instructions for plant cutting practicals, and a research task structured for the benefits and disadvantages of stem cells. This lesson can easily be broken down over several lessons with contrasting activities to promote engagement.

Lesson for KS3 properties of metals and non-metals, as well as an introduction to the periodic table. Activities included - you will need to google a template of the periodic table for the colour coding activity.

Fun lesson with demonstration and video to introduce the reactivity of group 1 metals. Opportunity to develop scientific understanding and numeracy skills.
