A presentation with an embedded video and activities to teach pupils about - What is acid rain? the cause, effect and solutions. Thanks to other TES users whose ideas / work I have adapted. This links in to the KS3/KS4 environmental chemistry curriculum content and complements 3 others lessons I have available on TES, as a bundle called environmental chemistry

A leveled task on Particles models of solids, liquids and gases suitable for KS3. The 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. This is a free sample. I have 11 more of these available in the same format for £3.00

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 Literacy homework with research. Pupils are to create a CV for an element. The help sheet gives the web address and QR code for the RSC periodic table where the research can be carried out. To extend pupils you could get them to try and personify their element.

A useful intro to the lab sheet to use with Year 7 or transition days

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.

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

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 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 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
