Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical tasks) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about key problems associated with manufacturing materials (greenhouse gases, acid rain, toxic gases and plastics in the environment). The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

This PowerPoint will allow you to teach a broad range of abilities about the pH scale and strong, weak, concentrated and dilute acids. The resource meets all required specification points for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Chemistry course. It is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes. **Only Higher tier students need to cover this content. **

Full lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the differences between atoms and molecules, and elements and compounds, using the air e breathe as context. The lesson contains a range of independent and practical learning activities which can be mixed and matched as appropriate for your class. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full lesson PowerPoint sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities aboutrecycling of metals, polymers, glass, paper and concrete. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. This also includes the overview and equipment list I use for the whole “Making Materials” topic.

This PowerPoint will allow you to deliver the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry Core Practical in which calcium hydroxide is used to gradually neutralise hydrochloric acid. It includes background info on indigestion and antacids (for context), an easy-to-follow method to share with students, plus additional tasks aimed at building skills with acid reactions and balanced equations. The resources are easy to follow for teachers, readily accessible for students and are appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and High-tier. Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Acids and Alkalis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.

These lesson PowerPoints (with suggested practical task) will allow you to deliver two lessons to a broad range of abilities. Lesson 1 introduces the reactivity series of metals, sets up a simple experiment and then focuses on balancing chemical equations. Lesson 2 builds upon these skills by looking at the reactions of metals with oxygen, water and acids. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical activities and independent learning tasks) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about the difference between pure metals and alloys. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers.

Full lesson PowerPoint (with suggested practical activities) sufficient to teach a broad range of abilities about combustion of different fuels. The lesson is in keeping with the current KS3 UK National Curriculum, is easily accessible for students and simple to follow for teachers. You'll also need to download the FREE worksheet "8Ea Products of Combustion" from my shop.

PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Alcohols and Ethanol Production in one single lesson. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, Foundation and Higher tiers. Best taught after completing my lesson SC22a on "Alkenes and Homologous Series", which provides an intro to the structures of the alcohol homologous series.

PowerPoint sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lessons on Condensation Polymerisation. Consistent with the Chemistry specification, this lesson focuses mainly on drawing and understanding esterification between single carboxylic acid and alcohol molecules, rather than polymer chains. However, it does extend to encompass formation of polyesters for high-end students. The resource is accessible for students, easy for teachers to follow and is appropriate for TRIPLE SCIENCE ONLY, HIGHER TIER ONLY. Best taught after completing my lesson SC22a on “Alkenes and Homologous Series”, which provides an intro to the structures of carboxylic acids and alcohols. **For one of the final summary tasks, you will need to get hold of Pearson Edexcel worksheet SC24c.2 “Monomers and Polymers”. Failing this, you could use slides 10 & 11 to prepare your own card sort which would substitute for the worksheet. Students’ progress can also be assessed simply using the yellow and pink box tasks on slide 9. **

An ideal home learning resource; these revision cards cover all the “learnable” Chemistry Paper 1 content. The cards come as an editable PowerPoint, with six cards per slide for students to cut out. There are eight slides (48 cards) for Combined students and ten slides (58 cards) for Triple students. The cards that are Higher only are indicated, so Foundation students can discard these. As students memorise the content of each card, they should be able to recall the information when prompted by a revision partner. As information becomes embedded, cards can be removed so the pile focuses on a smaller number of trickier concepts. Please note: these cards are designed to supplement NOT substitute for other revision. If all the material on these cards is memorised, it will give students a solid platform from which to achieve a very good grade. However, these cards are not sufficient to fully prepare students for the chemical calculations topics (only practice can prepare for this) or the technical aspects of the Core Practicals (practical experience is needed for this)

Full Lesson PowerPoint (including suggested practical activity) sufficient to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Chemistry lesson on Reactivity of Metals, while also covering examples of ionic and half equations in this context. The resource is accessible for students, easy to follow and is appropriate for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and Higher tiers.

To go with my Year 8 lesson on "Global Warming and Climate Change".

Worksheet to go with my lesson on "Alkali Metals (Group 1)", or to go with any alkali metals demo.

To go with my KS3 lesson on Burning Fuels. This worksheet covers the products formed when hydrocarbons combust (completely) and serves as an introduction to writing word equations for combustion. Best used alongside a suitable demo or video of the setup shown on the worksheet.
