A presentation and resources for a lesson on Exo and Endothermic reactions, including a worksheet for a practical activity. I also buy some visual aides from the internet such as hand warmers and self heating cans. There are lots of sites where these are available.

Various presentations of the the metals in the reactivity series. The metals are not in the correct order and pupils need to say of the next metal in the presentation will be higher or lower in the reactivity series. Change the first slide to include your name. There are different versions so you can do the activity quickly, more than once. I have also included the correct order so you can show this first. A fun, fast paced stater or plenary resource for KS3 and KS4

A chance for pupils to write extended answers on misconceptions / difficult concepts from C2. After using the C1 set, I was asked by my class to create a similar activity for C2 because they had found the C1 set so useful. I have included a set of sample answers that can also be provided.

Presentation and linked worksheets to teach the subject content of the alkali metals for the new 2016 AQA Trilogy / Chemistry GCSE

A fully resourced lesson on catalysts with questions on a worksheet for pupils to answer, linked to the presentation and an experiment to carry out

A fully resourced lesson on the carbon cycle. There is a presentation and linked worksheets to create a diagram of the carbon cycle plus appreciate the processes that add and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

A lesson looking at the need to find alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels. The advantages and disadvantages of different fuels are considered.

A series of resources on bioleaching and phytomining. There is enough material for 2 or 3 lessons depending on lesson length. Plenty of opportunity for pupils to assess their own understanding and work in groups. All answers to activities are included in the presentation. The presentation takes pupils through both processes in a visual way before checking their understanding

A presentation and worksheets to deliver the AQA required practical on temperature change. There are differentiated sheets to help with the graph drawing component of the activity, and some questions related to a linked video. Teacher / technician / students notes included, have been adapted from the AQA material.

A fully resourced lesson including answers to introduce collision theory for the rate and extent of chemical change unit. Lesson 1 for this unit

An introductory lesson to recap the structure of the atom and explain why some elements react. Pupils will also be taught hoe to identify the bonding present in a material based on the elements present in the formula. The describing atoms activity is completed by the teacher as pupils try to do the same with their given atom

A presentation and worksheet to take pupils through the idea that metals react differently with water and to relate the reactivity of metals to their tendency to form positive ions

A fully resourced lesson with practical and worksheet. Pupils are to deduce the reactivity of metals by comparison of their reactions in acid and link this to previous lessons on reactions of metals with water and oxygen.

A presentation with assessment questions and an embedded video to introduce pupils to the organic chemistry topic

A presentation to go with a practical activity to guide pupils through writing balanced symbol equations and half equations in order to identify oxidised or reduced chemical species in a displacement reaction
