The next material introduced is silicon dioxide and this is explained and compared to diamond to enable the students to develop their ability to compare and explain. Finishes with a past paper question and model answer. QR codes are provided leading to BBC bitesize.

This lesson introduces the halogens. It gives general information into their naming and uses linked to their properties. Using an animation it shows how the covalent bond is formed to allow the Halogens to be diatomic. Students are then lead through a step by step guide to explaining the reactivity of the Halogens with regards to their electrons and distance from nucleus. Displacement is explained using a simple anecdote. The experiment is provided if you wish to attempt this with your students. After explaining / practical there are equations questions to test the students learning. Plenary is exam style questions.

Designed for a lower ability class but can be tailored for higher. This covers the fundamentals of electrolysis and defining the different terms. Past paper questions and answers included for stretch and challenge

Delivered to year 9 as part of the introduction to KS4 chemistry. This lesson teaches students how to name compounds (based on metals and the presence of oxygen). The lesson then has an activity for the students to complete familiar word equations and name compounds from their chemical formula. Students are then introduced to the conservation of mass. Animated slides help show students the importance of balancing equations and how to go about solving questions. Practice questions with answers are provided. Finally students are introduced to reactions that appear to gain or lose mass. Plenary is exam style questions with animated answers.

This was designed for to be accessible for both KS3 and KS4 classes. Introduces the reasons for farming different animals The basics of selective breeding with animation for guidance Series of questions to deepen students learning and application Evaluation of the pros and cons of selective breeding (differentiated worksheet) Exam style questions for higher and lower ability (this was delivered as part of my interview process)

This lesson was designed for KS4 but can be delivered to KS3 group. Recaps on the definition of elements, compounds and mixtures. Introduces the terms ‘solvant, solute and solution’ with word match exercise (animated). Explains how substances are dissolved and addresses misconception that materials ‘vanish’. Leads to rock salt practical where students are challenged to determine the equipment they will need for the practical. Full equipment list and method provided with set up diagrams Follow up questions / answers and explanation of method. Plenary is exam style questions with answers

This lesson was designed to be delivered to a year 10 class. Can be adapted for different abilities. Recaps the photosynthesis equation to introduce the ideas of the different reactants and factors needed. Real life scenario given to enable the students to understand rate limiting factors. Student lead discussion on different factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis. Graphs of light, carbon dioxide and temperature provided to help students develop their interpretation skills. Plenary is past paper exam question. Lower and higher ability questions included.

Delivered to a year 9 KS4 class but can be altered for each year or ability. Introduces the students to the idea of fractions being hydrocarbons of similar length and propeties. Visual aids help the students to understand how chain length and intermolecular forces affect properties of the fractions. QR codes provided and link to youtube channels. Student lead activity to explain how fractional distilation occurs (chance to make model answers). Worksheet included for researching the fractions and their uses. Plenary is exam style questions

Designed for higher ability KS3 and KS4 students. This recaps on the nuclear symbol of the element and how to determine proton, electron and neutron numbers. From here the students are given the rules for drawing an atom with animated example. Students are given questions (coloured for differentiating starting points) to apply their knowledge. An exam style question is given as an extension paper with mark scheme provided. Students then introduced to how the periodic table is designed to help determine an element’s reactivity. Electron configuration template provided for students who struggle or for simple neatness. Plenary is an exam style question with answers.

This was delivered to a Year 10 class. Can be altered for different abilities. Introduction discusses elastic as a property. Recaps on Hooke's law to give context. Leads through calculation from spring constant to elastic potential with example. Worksheet attached.

One slide only Animated slide on naming salts. Found this really helped students of all abilities who were struggling with acid and alkali reactions. If you could leave a review it would be appreciated :)

(My apologies for any issues with previews, TES servers are having issues) Designed for an observation lesson with Year 10. This can be tailored for higher and lower ability students. Gives context to reproduction and the importance for maintaining life. Recaps on Gametes in animals and plants. Allows student discussion to introduce idea of variation and clones. Student lead activity for researching sexual and asexual reproduction (QR codes included for BBC bitesize). Clear table created and example statements to compare and explain the different methods. Questions provided to ensure learning and for ease of assessment (answers included in presentation) Exam style questions (both higher and lower) for plenary / Homework

This lesson is designed for Year 7 and can be delivered to any ability group. Recaps on reading the pH scale. Links to defining what a neutral solution is and what a neutralisation reaction is. Higher level students can be pushed by trying to assign chemical symbols to reactions. Real life application of neutralisation reactions is delivered. Leads to a simple practical for the students to develop their skills and see how to balance acids / alkali. Exam style questions for plenary.

Designed as an intro for KS3 but also can be delivered as a recap for KS4. Introduces electricity as the movement as electrons (with atom diagram) so that students are aware of this from the begining. Symbols and related worksheet given as activity. Leads students through identifying series and parallel circuits with digrams on board. Activity for students to determine if circuits work or not (with reasons). Introduction to Amps. Plenary is exam style question

Designed to teach KS4 about how to calculate resultant forces when the forces are non-collinear. Gives examples of when forces which occur in such a way. Animated guide to drawing a parallelogram as a worked example, colour coded for ease of viewing. Gives students past exam style questions for practise

Designed for year 10 and 11 for the new AQA specification. Animated powerpoint designed to lead students through calculating resultant forces using right angle triangles. Introduction is a recap on resultant forces. Allows students to become confident with drawing ‘triangles of forces’ for diagonal resultant forces (animated answers to show the relevant forces) Shows how ‘alternate angles’ are used to help calculate angles. Worked examples of SOHCAHTOA to calculate angles and unknown forces Plenary is a worked exam style question.
