Covers solutions, solutes, solvents and visually assists the understanding of dissolving Using a collection of resources, some from other TES users. Any issues please don't hesitate to contact me

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 :)

Created using a mixture of resources (some TES some Boardworks) Please rate, really helps :)

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

Introduction to Acid and Alkali for KS3. Discusses the uses of acids and alkali with household examples. The properties of acids and alkalis Introduces the pH scale (best with teacher demo) For higher level students a task to identify relevant ions Worksheet attached for possible homework or application task

This was delivered to both top and bottom set year 7's. It allowed them to understand the formation of salts during the reactions of acids and alkali. Gives worked examples for naming salts during word equations. Can be tiered to making symbol equations for higher performing students. Worksheet included as a revision guide for all acid reactions.

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 for year 7 as a recap on pH scale and introduction to other indicators. Introduces litmus paper to students. Table included is designed to help them apply their understanding of colour change and interpreting results. Method for creating red cabbage indicator. Alternative slides prepared depending on whether you want to provide hot water or allow students to use Bunsen burners to boil water themselves. Plenary is past paper question.

This lesson is used to help students to understand the importance of safety in the lab. It introduces risk assessments and guides them through creating their own.

Designed for year 7. Animated presentation to recap the students through creation of salts. Introduces concept of reacting acids with metals and assists them in naming the new salts formed. This lesson works well with a practical of the squeaky pop test. Leads to researching on the uses of salts (common salt, fertilisers and fireworks) Plenary is a high level past paper question. Animated guide to naming salts included scaffolding.

Explanation of electrolysis, including introduction to copper sulphate practical Includes: Presentation, recapping on ions, explaining process and key phrases to help understanding of the process. Assessment based on past papers (with answers for teacher) Worksheet and diagram, can be easily tailored for higher ability. Any feedback is appreciated

Visual based lesson that introduces alkanes and how to identify them. Works well with a modelling lesson if possible. Designed to assist with numeracy. Covers the extraction of crude oil, the difference in naming of alkanes and the formula to define alkanes

Designed to assist KS4 with introduction to quantitative chemistry. Covers the law of conservation of mass. Leads students through understanding formulae, identifying elements and atom count, and carries through to worked examples for Relative formula mass. Animated presentation assists students of all levels to understand balancing equations. Step by step guide with example workings to assist learners of different styles. Differentiated sheets for practising balancing equations. Discusses how matter can be lost via gas or gained via oxidation. Exam style question for plenary

(Updated) Designed for year 9 class. Easily adjusted to support all levels. This lesson enables the students to recall atomic structure and apply information to learn about isotopes. Visual guide to ion formation. Worksheet included for calculating subatomic particles with given data. Answer sheet included Introduction and practice questions for relative atomic mass based around Chlorine

Leads the students through the development of the periodic table from Newland's to Mendeleev's. Links to YouTube video that explains Mendeleev's discovery. Differentiated questions to help students understanding. Final task introduces the students to trends and helps them to see first hand how the table is used.

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.

This lesson was delivered to both KS3 and KS4. The 3 stages of distillation are shown clearly and slowly using a full animation. Particles travel and clearly show the stages of evaporation and condensation. Chromatography is covered, again animated, showing how substances are separated by using a solvent and how to explain the results. This leads to worked examples of calculating Rf values.( As a extension another animation shows how ethanol and water are separated based on boiling point. Questions activity with answers provided for summary. Plenary is exam style questions, with answers.

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

(Apologies for the poor preview, TES servers are having issues) Introduction to the three states of matter. Designed to be delivered to year 7 but easily changeable for different year groups or abilities. Activity requires water, a balloon and some blu-tac or similar. Gives the students a chance to explore the different states and get used to different properties. Crossword included to help with vocabulary. Introduces the particle model and its use. Animated slides guide the students through representing each state using the particle model and justifying why. Plenary is exam style questions.

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
