A worksheet which summarises chromatography for GCSE or higher ability KS3. Answers are included.

This sheet guides students in how to create a poster about acids and alkalis. Perfect for year 7 and weaker students, the images can be cut up and placed on the poster.

A worksheet for students to practice drawing ionic bonds

This is a homework or independent research task where students use the website given to locate the information. It summarises properties of diamond and graphite, and included fullerene and nanoparticles.

As much revision as I could fit on a single page! Includes: key words, states of matter, change of state graph, melting and boiling points.

A worksheet covering structure and properties of ionic compounds

Instead of drawing hundreds of electrons, this resource presents the electron arrangements for the first 20 elements which students first identify, then arrange onto their periodic table. Much neater, and less chance of mistakes. Print out SINGLE SIDED so students can cut out the cards on page 1 and arrange them into the periodic table on page 2.

A worksheet covering the structure and properties of diamond and graphite

A worksheet to practice drawing simple covalent molecules

A websheet which can be HW or indpendent study. Students use the website link to answer questions

I adapted this from another TES resource - I added some blanks for students to fill in and edited to reflect our C1a unit.

A powerpoint and accompanying worksheet covering density calculations, melting and boiling points, changing state and graph skills

An activity where students make fullerene (buckyball) models. Print out the templates on card and follow the instructions in the document.

A simple quiz and wordsearch for reviewing acids and alkalis. Students answer the questions then find the answers in the wordsearch. ANSWERS: 1. Acid 2. Alkali 3. Base 4. Concentrated 5. Corrosive 6. Indicator 7. Neutral 8. Potassium 9. Sodium chloride 10. Neutralisation

Question adapted from AQA GCSE exam questions, which reviews ionic bonding. 15 marks, starts easy and gets harder. Answers are included

A worksheet comparing different bonding types and the properties of covalent molecular compounds

Posters can be printed and arranged around the classroom. Students get a copy of the worksheet and move around the classroom working independently. A perfect hangover lesson ;-)

A sheet covering the main topics in the new AQA C1 unit

This is an alternative worksheet to accompany the resource at http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/How-Science-Works-The-Simpsons-Investigation-6205917/

A simple game of top trumps which the students make. This is designed for students to make cards on computers and print them out to play. It can also be done by hand if you print the templates off. In groups of 5, each student makes 4 cards (use the groups slips to allocate elements). I have restricted it to the first 20 elements, but obviously you can extend it if you want bigger sets. Then print off and play - see the instructions for more details.
