A team challenge I created for my Y9 group at the end of C1 and C2, to recap both topics and to finish off the year. You could also use it at the start/middle of Y10 to recap what they have already done from GCSE. The challenges include making a model atom out of copper wire and mini marshmallows and modelling halogen displacement using lego bricks - you may wish to change these activities if you don’t have the resources to hand. The image I used in the corridor was a C1/C2 summary sheet (from TES). All images on the Element Zoo sheet are CC0 (free for commercial use, no attribution required). Enjoy!

Worksheet created for a Y7 lesson on writing/interpreting chemical formulae. The formatting and subscript lettering is the same as on the main preview image, not on the other previews as TES messes these up for some reason!

(No answers) Summary sheet on separating and purifying substances. This was created for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE but could be adapted for other specifications.

Revision summary sheet/mat for Electrolysis - created with AQA GCSE Chemistry C6 topic in mind. Including Electrolysis Equipment, Changes at the Electrodes, Predicting Products of Aqueous Solutions, Extraction of Aluminium and Electrolysis of Brine.

2 worksheet with questions of increasing difficulty on electrolysis half equations. Version 2 has a few trickier questions, including writing half equations from scratch. Answers on P2 of each document.

A summary sheet for revising all sections of AQA GCSE Physics P1 - Conservation of Energy. Including Changes in Energy Stores, Conservation of Energy, Energy and Work, Gravitational Potential Energy Stores, Kinetic and Elastic Energy Stores, Energy Dissipation, Energy and Efficiency, Electrical Appliances and Energy & Power. Each box ties in with a double-page spread in the textbook. I used a 9-question diagnostic quiz to start the lesson, with a question for each box topic, and students started their revision with the areas they got wrong/were least confident in.

Revision mat/summary sheet for C5 Chemical Changes (AQA). Includes questions on reactivity series, metals & acids, extraction of metals, acids & bases, salts (& naming salts), acids & alkalis, neutralisation, dissociation, pH, and strong and weak acids.

I laminated and cut out the images/names/functions of different organs of the digestive system then asked students to assemble a whole digestive system with correct labels. I used this as a competition by splitting students into 2 teams, with the winners being the first to assemble all the images and labels correctly. I created this according to the AQA Trilogy GCSE specification but you could edit it to use keywords from other specifications e.g. duodenum. You could also use it with AQA Activate 2 (year 8).

'Guess Who' worksheet for Y7 lesson on plant and animal cells. Students identify the organelle from a description of its function. Based on AQA Activate - B1, Cells - 1.2, Plant and Animal Cells (p16 of Activate 1 textbook). You could also ask students to identify which type of cell the organelle is present in, and offer an extension task to write a paragraph explaining the differences between plant and animal cell structure. Feel free to edit to suit your learning objectives and share!
