for GCSE chemistry/combined students. Could be used for either foundation or higher tier. objective: to define ‘allotrope’; to compare the structures and properties of allotropes of carbon; to relate properties to uses good for: full lesson as a staged task (after explanation or with a reference text); full lesson - the answers could be used as a collective memory task; homework; revision; cover; student that is out of the lesson differentiation: to 3 levels - easier more visual task, gap fill task, and free fill task Answers included

4 starters based on real exam questions and real responses as an Afl style activity. I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards suggested uses: Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect This could be extended to take a whole lesson, if you use a number or all of the questions in the powerpoint and ask the students to come up with their own perfect answers, either in class or for homework; or 4 whole lessons, if you use the questions as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds. marking points and commentary on student answers are included.

easy table where student compares ionic, covalent, metallic and giant covalent bonding. now updated with full differentiation objective: consolidation good for: revision, cover, homework

fully differentiated and answers included for new spec GCSE chemistry. Useful for: homework, revision, cover, student out of a classroom, maybe a full lesson as a collective memory task or similar explores reactions, physical properties,etc of all the groups

based on the AQA spec (reference included) - could work for other boards. Exam style questions with approximate 3 - 9 grades. The worksheet comes in 2 levels of difficulty for differentiation (harder and easier/foundation). Takes about 30 - 40 minutes. Answers in a separate document objectives: exam technique, maths, subject knowledge good for: homework, part of a lesson, revision,cover, catch up sheet for absent students, part of an independent study if lesson time is short differentiation: two levels of difficulty - easier/foundation and harder

Based on the AQA GCSE triple course (AQA and Edexcel references included), but could be used for any board. Students complete the exam style questions based on the corrosion of iron experiment. The questions are given approximate grades of 1 - 9: the harder worksheet is approximate grades 4 - 9 and the easier/foundation one is approximate grades 3 - 5. Potential answers are given in a separate word document. objectives: subject knowledge, maths, exam technique, scientific method differentiation: 2 worksheets of different levels of diffiiculty good for: homework, cover, catch up sheet for absent students; part of a lesson; part of an independent project if lesson time is short

the students have to state which elements and how many atoms of each at in the compound. there are 15 examples for them to try, getting progressively harder differentiation is at 3 levels: easier as described above, middle: the students attempt to name the compounds given the formulae as well as above; and harder: the students attempt to produce the formulae, given the name of the compound as well as above SUGGESTION: for KS3 - give only the first 10 examples ideas for use: I used as a homework, but also: part of your lesson; cover; catch up for absent students Answers included

based on the AQA spec (reference included) - the first part of topic 10. Exam style questions with approximate 3 - 9 grades.

Ideal as a homework. Differentiated to lower, middle and higher abilities, each with a progress question of more difficulty. There is also a mixed worksheet, where all levels are present, if you prefer to use this one. The questions include chemical analysis testing, balanced symbol equations and ionic equations. Suitable for all exam boards. Answers are included for ease of marking.

Covers mostly biology topics, but there is a chemistry and a physics application also. Questions are given approximate grades for differentiation. Can be used as a homework or cover lesson (or as a class activity) for exam technique purposes and consolidation of this all-pervasive concept. Potential answers included for ease of marking. Can be used for all specifications.

Story with characters, such as Nitrojulian and Carbon Dickoxide in a spoof Famous Five story: 'five create an atmosphere' describing the interactions between gas levels and the changing biosphere. The story is made easier for foundation students by having the main points underlined and colour-coded for different characters (gases). A table is included for students to complete to test the learning after the story. objectives: subject knowledge, revision technique, consolidation differentiation: foundation and higher tier stories. Table differentiated to 3 levels of difficulty good for: part of a lesson, e.g. starter, revision, homework, part of a cover lesson. could be used for more able KS3 PLEASE NOTE: this resource is included in the foundation and higher 5 atmosphere lessons, if you prefer to purchase this with the other resources too

Please note, that this resource is included in the lessons for chemical analysis that I have created, if you prefer to purchase whole lessons. Instructions included in the resource. Based on new specification for both AQA and Edexcel chemistry courses, but would work for other exam boards (specification references are included). The students use the correct colours for precipitates formed with chemical analysis tests, cut out the flaps and insert them into the correct spaces. Differentiated to three levels of difficulty. I thought it might be good for them to stick the completed resource on the inside of their chemistry book, although it is best printed on A4 for ease of manipulation on its creation. Could be used as a home work, in a revision or cover lesson.

suitable for all boards and planned for a GCSE lesson, but could also be used for KS3. provides a comparison and summary of elements, mixtures and compounds and requires students to sort substances into the correct category. Objective:pair/ group work to complete a table comparing elements, mixtures and compounds differentiation: differentiated on 3 levels, all 3 are easily accessible, more able students could sort the information using their own method timng: about 30 - 40 minutes, depending on student ability could be used for: designed for the main part of a lesson as a carousel activity, could be used as cover or homework Please note: the worksheet can be purchased separately as ‘elements, mixtures and compounds compared for GCSE’

Based on the AQA triple course, but will work for other boards (AQA and Edexcel references included). The students have to complete a table about the production, properties , uses and examples of composites, alloys, polymers and ceramics. They then need to decide on which properties make a material suitable to particular jobs. good for: part of a lesson, homework, catch up sheet for absent students, cover, part of an independent project if lesson time is short. differentiation: 3 levels of difficulty, the easiest is suggested for foundation triple students, but could also be an easier worksheet again for higher students. The foundation sheet could be used for KS3 Suggested answers included in a separate document

Groups work where students build a model of what happens at the electrodes, in stages, and then photographs each stage (example included at the end of the PowerPoint). This is to help them visualise how to build half equations.The student writes up their work, using their photographs, for homework. I got my students to put their home work on a revision card for them to keep for mocks and GCSE. The lesson and resources are differentiated to three levels of difficulty.
