A fully resourced lesson on building hydrocarbons. Pupils can be shown molecular models of hydrocarbons or build them themselves before looking at various ways to represent molecules such as ball and stick, and space fill models. An information sheet and comparison table are also provided so that pupils can look at the advantages and disadvantages of using each representation of the alkanes.

Produce your own set of cards for pupils to arrange or print out and put both sheets on one A4 sheet for pupils to cut and stick. Ideal for medium to low ability to reinforce the similar techniques in some methods

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

Summary sheet for the Conservation and dissipation of energy unit. The answers are supplied, but students should use the internet or textbooks to try and fill as many gaps as possible before the answers are supplied.

A fully resourced lesson. Print out the leaflet as an A5 booklet. The presentation has slides that can be printed out and laminated if you wish, and then placed around the room for pupils to gather information from. The radiation cards act like A,B,C cards and can be used so pupils can show their response to the quiz at the end of the lesson

7 sets of questions with answers on reverse if printed back to back on the AQA C1 unit. Suitable for all abilities to help recall key facts and concepts. Approx 24 questions for each sub unit. You can purchase all 3 units together as a bundle for £4.50

A lesson taking pupils through how to calculate percentage yield and the reasons why percentage yields are sometimes lower than expected. There are also some worksheets for pupils to complete. I print this on A5. The final activity is a 6 mark QWC question on sustainable development and percentage yield

A fully resourced lesson starts with a word search to find elements from the Periodic Table. A quick recap of information students may be aware of from KS3 before discussing groups and periods. There is a colouring activity to label various sections of a Periodic Table that is then used to complete a group activity. A series of questions to challenge understanding is used to secure knowledge before a plenary that ask students to try and talk for as long as possible about what they have learnt about the Periodic Table

A presentation that links the structure of an atom to what is meant by a stable and unstable nucleus

A presentation to take students through the theory of density. The presentation also walks pupils through the techniques needed to calculate density for regular and irregular solids and liquids. An adapted version of the AQA required Practical worksheet has also been included. There is a set of differentiated questions on density calculations and theory to challenge students - the calculation answers are on the presentation.

Presentations and worksheets for 2 lessons. The first lesson introduces the concept of neutralisation for GCSE and how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. The second lesson is a practical on the preparation of a sample of a salt by the neutralisation of an acid with a suitable metal.

This lesson links to the new AQA physics / Trilogy GCSE. The resources give pupils the opportunity to use graphs to carry out data analysis and make conclusion from the data they find. The data is linked to domestic and global energy demands and the energy resources we use to provide these needs. One of the tasks includes a group activity where pupils need to present their findings. There is a starter to summarise environmental issues linked to use of fossil Fuels. The lesson also includes how fossil fuel and nuclear power stations generate electricity where pupils complete a sequencing activity.

A presentation and a couple of worksheets to guide students through the concept of electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. The presentation reminds pupils of OIL RIG and the electrical conductivity of ionic compounds before tackling the more challenging aspects of the topic

A lesson following on from the introduction of circuit symbol and simple circuits. Pupils are asked to interpret circuit diagrams and build given parallel and series circuits. The plenary tests understanding of the difference between parallel and series circuit diagrams

How much do we depend on the Earth’s natural resources? - A presentation that poses this question and then gets pupils to interpret graphs. Key terms and ideas are discussed

A presentation with linked practical to teach pupils about the extraction of metals using reduction with carbon
