A presentation with resources to teach the concept of the greenhouse effect and discuss the need for the natural greenhouse effect. Worksheet and information sheets are provided. This is lesson 4 in a series on the chemistry of the atmosphere, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

Fully resourced series of lessons on potable water. The concept of potable water is introduced with a practical. The way water is treated in the UK and desalination processes are covered. A couple of videos are embedded in the presentation and a linked question sheet in included. Teacher and technician notes along with student sheet are then included that have been adapted for the water required practical. If the embedded videos don't work there is a word document with the web address on

Leveled tasks on various chemistry topics suitable for KS3. Each presentation has 3 slides. Slide 1 is the pupil sheet, slide 2 contains the mark scheme and slide 3 has suitable comments to use give a target on how to improve scientific knowledge. Taken by an OFSTED inspector to give to a school as an example of good practice for a school in special measures

A fully resourced lesson, including practical on formulations. The presentation introduces the theory of formulations before students try to create a formulation of oil, water and emulsifier that takes a required time to separate. This time can be adjusted as required. There are two versions of the same PowerPoint for those who have versions that do not support some fonts

The third lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. Simple energy level diagrams are introduced and the concept of braking bonds being and endothermic process and making bonds an exothermic process is discussed. The idea of why a reaction eventually is exo or endo is then considered. A fully resourced lesson that can be taught stand alone

A presentation and resources to teach the difference between global warming and climate change and to consider the consequences of climate change. Lesson 5 on the AQA unit for Chemistry of the atmosphere, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

The fourth lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic – Bond energies are discussed and the combustion of methane is used to take pupils through the process of bond energy calculations before examples are provided for the students to try. A fully resourced lesson that can be taught stand alone. Answers are included.

A fully resources lesson with PowerPoint, Worksheet, Assessment and Activity. The presentation discusses direct and indirect activities that add to a persons carbon footprint and some graphical analysis to compare different countries carbon footprint. Lesson 7 for the AQA chemistry of the atmosphere unit, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson.

A fully resources lesson on life cycle assessments. There are notes on the PowerPoint to help deliver the content / explain how to use the resources.

A presentation to teach the importance of evolution of algae and plants and the part played by the oceans in the development of the atmosphere. This is lesson three in the chemistry of the atmosphere unit for AQA, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson. Activities with answers are provided on the presentation.

Word searches on common lab equipment. There are two versions (with answers) - one is a simpler version as it doesn’t have diagonal words or words written backwards

The second lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. The everyday uses of exothermic and endothermic reactions are discussed and I usually bring in examples of these for the pupils to see / touch. The presentation has several examples and also an extended written question to compare a single use hand warmer with a reusable one. The lesson is fully resourced and can be delivered as a stand alone lesson

A fully resourced lesson about acid rain, including a practical to test how acid rain affects building materials. The presentation takes pupils through the definition, cause, effect and solutions. There are assessment opportunities supplied. This is lesson 8 in the AQA Chemistry of the atmosphere unit, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

A lesson to take pupils through the effects of carbon monoxide and global dimming. There are assessment opportunists within the presentation and a worksheet on the the cause and effect of global dimming. This is the 9 lesson in the series for the AQA unit on Chemistry of the atmosphere, but it can be taught as a stand alone lesson

A presentation to deliver the theory of paper chromatography and demonstrate the correct procedure to carry out the required practical. A booklet is included that links to the presentation and theory. There are various activities included in the presentation. Enough material for at least 90 minutes of teaching time. The booklet also includes assessment questions.

A presentation that has embedded videos (2 - Choose which you think is best), and data analysis. The presentation also takes you through the various stages of waste water treatment before a related worksheet can be used. I have also included a copy of the web address if the embedded videos don’t work

A fully resourced lesson on the topic of complete and incomplete combustion. The concept of incomplete combustion is discussed and compared to complete combustion, before the environmental / human impact of each is considered. Lesson 6 in a series for the AQA chemistry of the atmosphere unit, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

An introductory lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. The concept of exothermic and endothermic reactions is introduced with an engaging practical. The presentation discusses the idea of conservation of energy and reactions converting heat and chemical energy. The lesson is fully resourced
