A lesson aimed at new Y7 classes to familiarise them with a Bunsen burner. Includes a sequencing activity on how to turn on a Bunsen and a label the diagram activity. Ends with the students then following the sequence to safely turn, and alter the flame, to earn their Bunsen Burner license.

Resource folds into an A5 booklet with the visual instructions on the front and the exam-style questions on the inside. Includes a scientific literacy section focusing on key words in the required practical. Would usually use as students completed the required practical but would also be useful to allow students to follow along during a demonstration (COVID appropriate!)

Stretching questions linked to the AQA GCSE Combined Science (exams from 2018). Included are A3 revision sheets on: Atomic structure and the Periodic Table Bonding, Structure and the Properties of Matter Chemical Changes Chemistry of the Atmosphere Quantitative Chemistry Using Resources Will be completing these for others topics and will upload in due course if these are found the be useful. If you find this useful please check out the ones I have done for other AQA Physics GCSE topics in my shop.

This project was designed as part of a Y9 SOW. The idea is that the project should take 4 - 6 lessons and will ensure that students recall and understand the basics needed to access GCSE. This is part of a series of 10 projects (all of which can be found in my shop) to cover all KS3 content before beginning GCSE.

Starts with differentiated structure strips to help students through the reacting masses calculation using moles (GCSE Chemistry - Higher Tier) Orange strip - slightly more hints/support Blue strip - basic guidance through the calculation Then has examples for students try without the structure strip. Though step-by-step hints provided for any still struggling. Would then follow with an exam question from appropriate exam board and ask students to complete without any help.

A3 resource to help students visualise what is happening during the electrolysis of four different aqueous solutions (*AQA REQUIRED PRACTICAL). Splits the solutions into the anode and cathode. I tend to work through the first example on the visualiser in this order: 1 - Identify the four ions present in the solution 2 - Draw the two ions that would be attracted to the cathode in the cathode half, repeat for the anode. 3 - Use the rules printed at the top to then identify the product at each electrode. 4 - State the reason for each product (again using the rules at the top) Students can then try the other three examples on their own.

Full SOW for Topic 8: Atomic structure and Periodic Table of AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (exams from 2018). Also has Transition metal lesson for the Chemistry only specification. Lesson 1 - Atomic structure Lesson 2 - Atomic model Lesson 3 - Development of the periodic table Lesson 4 - Balanced symbol equations Lesson 5 - Electronic configuration Lesson 6 - Metals and non-metals (ion formation) Lesson 7 - Ionic and half-equations Lesson 8 - Group 1 Lesson 9 - Group 7 Lesson 10 - Group 0 Lesson 11 - Transition metals Lesson 12 - Separation techniques Worksheets marked STR or SUP are differentiated (stretch and support). All lessons planned in 6-part lesson format. Most resources my own though some resources may be adapted from other sources, including AQA and TES. Feedback appreciated.

Revision worksheet using a range of retrieval practice and thinking hard strategies (includes colour code/categorise, true or false, label the diagrams and odd one out). Useful revision summary that really requires pupils to think about what they have learnt rather than just repeat. Can also use the keyword quota activity to then assess pupils’ scientific literacy on the topic.

Resource designed to help students unpick how to answer comparison questions at GCSE. Starts by breaking down the question, including command words and key terminology. Then splits the answer “structure strip” style - I would usually model this under the visualiser. Students to then try applying the technique to two more examples.
