A presentation and worksheet to take pupils through the process of ion formation in both metals and non-metals

An introduction to laws of reflection before instructions on how to make a kaleidoscope. Good for a KS3 or low ability KS4 group. Lots of fun and the disposable mirrors are relatively cheap to get hold of.

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.

A presentation to provide information about the components of blood with feedback opportunities of understanding within the lesson. Pupils are taught what makes up the blood and the function of the different substances in it.

A presentation and worksheet guiding pupils through identification of the ions responsible for acidity and alkalinity and the ionic equations to describe the formation of water during neutralisation reactions. Neutralisation equations are also consider along with salt formation

A summary of energy transfers for the physics P1 content - this summary is suitable for medium to low ability students. I have used this printed on A3 paper and it has kept students engaged for an extended time trying to fit in all the answers

A couple of presentation that teach pupils how to draw dot and cross diagrams to represent bonding in ionic compounds and to show how the ionic lattice is formed. The resource also contains worksheet to support the working out the formula of ionic compounds. A cut out activity based on ion charge can be used to support students

A fully resourced lesson about the properties of solids, liquids and gases and how the strength of the bonding influences properties

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

A lesson on using graphs to find the rate of reaction with accompanying assessment questions and answers

An introductory lesson on organic chemistry. Pupils are reminded of separation techniques used to separate mixtures and the definition of a mixture before the idea of crude oil as a mixture that needs to be separated to make it useful is introduced

A presentation about the reactivity of metals with water, introducing the concept of reduction and oxidation in terms of oxygen
