The atomic structure of the elements

(0)
These powerpoint presentations outline for A-level students how the position of an element in the periodic table is determined. The presentations include starter activities on electronic configuration. The presentations highlight how the properties of the elements change depending on their position in the periodic table. These properties include atomic radii and electronegativity. Finally, these properties are then used to explain the shape and polarity of molecules and linked to the bonding associated with these molecules.

doctorharvesdoctorharves

Periodic Trends - Electronegativity

(0)
This is a powerpoint presentation outlining how electronegativity of the elements changes in the periodic table. The lesson starts with a do now related to electron configuration. This lesson is designed for A level Chemistry level students.
The Polarity of Molecules

The Polarity of Molecules

(0)
This is a powerpoint presentation designed for A level Chemistry designed to develop student understanding of how the polarity of molecules develops. This is linked to dipole moments and how this is related to the shape of molecules. The polarity is linked to bonding type as well.
Rates of reaction activity
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Rates of reaction activity

(1)
This activity summarises the effect of varying different conditions on the rate of a chemical reaction. The activity has three tasks firstly, filling in missing words to complete summary sentences. Secondly, completing sketch graphs of changing conditions on creation of products and finally, a jig saw exercise of what and why changing certain reaction conditions changes the rate of reaction.
Static electricity activity
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Static electricity activity

(0)
The activity is designed to assess the understanding of students about static electricity. In particular, the activity is a series of questions related to movement of charge. The activity also includes questions on conductors and insulators and relates this to the movement of positive and negative charge.
Hydraulics
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Hydraulics

(0)
The resource is in the form of a presentation about hydraulics related to pressure and forces with worked examples. Also included is an activity which assesses the understanding of the principle of force magnifiers in relation to hydraulics through a series of questions related to the concepts outlined in the presentation. The application of the equation of P = F/A in hydraulics is outlined in both the worked examples and in the activity.
Work Booklet Chemistry - Groups 1 and 7
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Work Booklet Chemistry - Groups 1 and 7

(0)
This booklet is designed to test student understanding of the periodic table and in particular, groups 1 and 7. The activities in the form of questions and practical exercises are designed to link electronic structure with the properties of the elements. Balancing of equations and explantation of experimental results is also involved.
Group 1 and Group 7 elements
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Group 1 and Group 7 elements

(0)
This activity is in the form of a word documents outlining questions designed to to test student understanding of the elements of group 1 and group 7. The questions are designed to link the chemical and physical properties of these elements with their electronic configuration and position on the periodic table.
Elements - assignment
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Elements - assignment

(0)
5 tasks the form of an assignment consisting of a series of questions designed to test student understanding of atomic structure and how the periodic table is designed. Developed to investigate the first 20 elements and linking their atomic structure to the properties of these elements. Describe how the properties of the first 20 elements link to their position on the periodic table.
Plant and animal cells
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Plant and animal cells

(0)
An introductory powerpoint presentation on cells. The presentation illustrates the concepts of different cell types (animal and plant). Additionally, the presentation discusses specialised cells. Finally, the presentation includes student activities to ensure students have grasped the material and reinforce learning. The activities include a research task of linking the shape of a cell to its function and differentiating between animal and plant cells. Determine the difference between animal and plant cells. Describe how cells are adapted to their function.
Phase changes

Phase changes

(0)
This task can be designed as an assessment or set as a task in class. The activity involves students determining the phase changes of water by correctly placing image in the right order. The activity can be extended by students developing a video using digital devices on what happens during phase changes with the activity as a prompt.
Forms of energy
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Forms of energy

(0)
A quick home learning activity where student locate the different forms of energy from a table of various images illustrating these forms. Students then have to describe what form of energy is being illustrated. Describe different forms of energy and illustrate with an example.
Cell Quiz
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Cell Quiz

(0)
This is a two player game which tests student's understanding of cell structure. It is in the form of a powerpoint where students select answers to questions. The first team to answer all the questions wins! The questions are based around cells types and parts of the cell. Describe the different parts of the cell.
