(Kerboodle P1) Contains a work booklet for students to use and make notes/do tasks/answer questions in whilst teacher runs through powerpoint. Good for a summary/revision lesson. All answers are on the powerpoint.

P2 - energy transfer by heating Revision powerpoint for the topic, with a booklet for students to work through P2 following the kerboodle specification

Complete paper one Chemistry revision following the AQA trilogy specification. Parts for higher only are highlighted. work booklets to accompany powerpoint, which can be used in lessons or revision sessions. Questions embedded in the powerpoint with answers for students to practice and focus on key concepts My year 11s have found these benefical.

Aimed at mixed ability year 8 - Some resources from TES L1 - Starter: thinking about what sea water contains Main: Think pair, share how to separate sea water introduce key words write a method/risk assessment for practical Plenary: particle diagram of what happens during filtering L2 - Main label equiptment in the diagrams and mark Main: complete rock salt practical Differntiated bronze/gold worksheets for students to work their way through Plenary: one thing students learnt today Marking sticker provided for the practical, if you wish to level the students work

Aimed at a mixed ability year 7 class 5 mins Differentiated questions to see what students know already about the microscope   Main History of the microscope task – HA/LA version HA comprehension task about history, LA cut and stick to put in order Show students parts on real microscope then cut and stick activity to label microscope parts – HA/LA version available as well as support sheets  - go through answers Extension: magnification calculations Plenary 5 mins Tweet something you have learnt today

Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter: Discuss and make a prediction about where the water willl move bring it together with a definitoin of osmosis Main: Set up practical so results can be looked at next lesson - method on slide go through what happens to cells in different concentrations differentiated literacy task Plenary: mark questions

Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter: reflect on previous diffusion practical Main: explain surface area:vol, do practic equestions and mark do research task to explain how surfaces are specialised extension: checkpoint follow ups from kerboodle Plenary" tweet what theyve learnt

aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Match key words to definitions – go through answers Main – Students watch demo of fractional distillation. Explain uses/whats happening at each point. Students the write an explaination of how they can obtain pure ethanol Set up chromatography experiment, whilst waiting for it to develop write a step by step method for the practical.  Go over basics, this will be revisited as chromatography is a required practical. Plenary Tweet one thing they have learnt today

aimed at mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Differentiated Bronze/silver/gold questions from previous lesson Main – Think, pair, share – how big is an atom. Copy down the size of an atom and nucleus intho their books Copy key words need to be able to define ion and isoptope for level 4 Explain that atoms can lose or gain electrons. And what happens if they do. Students make notes on this, then go through a few examples. Students practice working out electron/proton/neutron for ions Extension task for students who finish Explain what an isotope is, do one worked example of finding proton/neutron numbers then their go at finding how many protons and neutrons are in carbon isotopes Exam practice if time Plenary Identify whether the pictures are atoms, ions or isotopes

Aimed at KS3 students. This lesson recaps KS2 prior knowledge on the structure of a plant. Before moving onto KS3 content about structure and function of parts of the plant, followed by a plant dissection, accompanied by worksheets.

Suitable for KS3 Includes: Recall starter Pure and impure including particle diagrams Pure and impure boiling points practical investigation to investigate purity

aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Put atom structures in the correct order thinking back to last lesson Main – Work through work sheet in steps. To ensure maximum understanding Chase the element – race task to find out what each element around the room is, identifying proton neutron and electron number and matching it with an element on the periodic table Make a model of an atom using string, and card (cut card into circles use string to attach them together) Plenary Tweet what you’ve learnt tday

Aimed at a foundation class Starter Activity Draw what they can remember about the states of matter, go through what the particle pictures should look like Main – Complete worksheet on properties of solids, liquids and gases -  differentiated versions Stick in particle diagrams – students add labels and arrows to show what the state changes are. Then use textbooks and what we have discussed to describe what happens to the particles during changes of state. Explain cooling curves, students fill in the blanks on their cooling curve Extension for students looking at cooling and heating curves and melting and boiling points Plenary Little quiz to finish with

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Identify the atom on the board Stretch – how do you know which atom it is Main – Recap how to find out electron/proton/neutron numbers and how to draw electron configuration. Think pair share, what can the two atoms do to have full outer shells Students explain in their books what a positive and negative ion is 3 quick questions – green pen mark Go through rules so we always know the charges of common ions Worksheet to complete – label periodic table with rules and then practice drawing ions Extension: describe and explain how ions are formed Plenary Exam question plenary – peer assess

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Mark homework Main – Think pair share – spot the difference between ionic and covalent bonding. Then write down definition of covalent bonding Watch video, only watch until 2 minutes. Answer questions whilst video is going. Goo through and green pen answers after Go through the two examples on the board and show what happens Students then have a go at completing their worksheet to show covalent bonds Extension: decide if the compounds are ionic or covalent and explain how they know Plenary Plenary, fill in the gaps and go over answers

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Using previous knowledge make predictions about ionic compounds Main – Go through and discuss giant ionic lattices Students move around the room to find the information sheet to find out if there prediction was correct or not and why Practical with a dissolved ionic compound to show it can conduct electricity. Make sure say that molten ionic compounds too and what a molten ionic compound is Plenary Exam question plenary
