This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the treatment of UK drinking water, distillation of sea water in hotter countries and also about the fractional distillation of air. This is an ICT-based lesson requiring access to PCs or tablets. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS RESOURCE UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY DELIVERED ALL LESSONS ON FLAME TESTS, PRECIPITATION TESTS FOR POSITIVE IONS AND TESTS FOR NEGATIVE IONS This PowerPoint is to accompany the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry Core Practical lesson on Ion Tests. It contains an equipment list, guidance for students on how to approach the tests and brief methodology for students to refer to. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Earlier lessons on “Flames Tests, Photometry and Positive Ion Tests” and “Tests for Negative Ions” provide essential learning for this Core Practical; all are available from my TES shop.

This PowerPoint (including an independent learning activity) will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the structure of atoms and the characteristics of protons, neutrons and electrons. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy to follow for teachers and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

This provides an overview of all lessons needed to complete the Edexcel 9-1 Combined Science and Chemistry (Triple Science) courses. The document outlines what to teach in each lesson (sufficient to fully cover the new specification) and lists equipment for practical lessons wherever needed. Importantly, this document highlights which lessons are Higher Tier only and which are Triple Science only (many schools struggle to grasp this fully). I have found this order of teaching to be effective for gradually building skills and knowledge across two years. Moreover, it nicely breaks up the theory and practical-based topics. Please leave a brief review if you find this overview useful - thanks! BTW, all of these lessons have PowerPoints that can be purchased from my shop and the worksheets are generally available for free (unless copyright protected). Almost all of my lessons are also available in discounted bundles, just browse my shop - OnSpecScience.

To go with my Year 8 lesson "The Rock Cycle".

To go with my GCSE Chemistry lesson “Ions and Ionic Bonding”. Answers to the first half of the sheet (covering key-term definitions and formation of some common ions) are included. Answers to the second half cannot be presented in the same way and are in the associated PowerPoint which can be purchased from my shop. They are pretty straighforward to figure out if you do not want to purchase the entire lesson.

My shop - OnSpecScience - offers a range of free and paid resources covering KS3 Science and KS4 Chemistry. This document tells you which Year 8 lessons I have available for you to try for free.
