In this lesson students are given a range of cards with select information about different elements, just as Mendeleev had. They are then set the task of arranging the cards in anyway they see fit. They then look at how Mendeleev arranged them and used them to make predictions about missing elements which the students then do. The lesson concludes with a six mark question on how the periodic table is arranged. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson encourages students to come up with ideas about why salt is placed on icy roads. This get students thinking of a concrete example of how pure and impure substances differ. To reinforce this concept further, students conduct a simple practical where they measure the temperature of melting ice with and without salt. All worksheets are included within the powerpoint.

This lesson teaches students to first calculate moles of a substance from Ar and mass in grams, it then leads on to calculations of moles from Mr and then from concentrations in mol/dm. It then differentiates for students who understand it quickly and are set independent work (worksheets provided) and another teacher focus group with a more scaffolded worksheet.

This lesson covers the changing models of the atom up until todays structure with the nucleus containing neutrons and protons and surrounded by shells containing electrons.

In this lesson students apply their knowledge of calculating empirical formula by reacting known masses of magnesium with unknown masses of oxygen to make a known mass of magnesium oxide which they can then use along with relative atomic masses to calculate the ratio of oxygen to magnesium and in turn the empirical formula of magnesium oxide.

The start of this lesson involves a BIG write where students are provided with information on the water poisoning incident at Camelford and are asked with success criteria to explain how they could test to see if the water was safe to drink using knowledge from previous lessons in this topic. The second half of this lesson involves a learning check to see who is confident with writing and balancing symbol equations. On the back of this check confident students compete in a race with other groups of confident students to balance a series of ever increasingly hard equations. Students who are less confident work with the teachers in a focus group on balancing equation. I used this for an observed lesson and it worked really well.

This resource includes 4 powerpoint based lessons with worksheets integrated into the powerpoint so you can print them off easily. I have created it based on the new national curriculum framework which appears to be bringing a lot of content down from the KS4 curriculum. This is followed by a fifth assessment based lesson where students complete a level assessed task. Each powerpoint contains footnotes to explain what should be done if it is not obvious. Each powerpoint is planned to take between 50 and 60 minutes and includes plenty of student lead learning and many opportunities for assessing student learning throughout the lessons. Thank you for looking.

This assembly grabs the students attention with the first slide asking them to vote whether or not school should start at 10am instead of 8.50. The assembly goes on to look at the arguments for and against and the current research that is going on in the uk at the moment with 100 test school. I went on to tell them that unfortunately we haven't been selected for the trial but its findings could impact us. I then went on to say that until then they should take note of the sleep scientists top tips for a good night sleep which includes the science of blue light from mobile phone screens and its effect on the sleep hormone melatonin. This powerpoint lasts around 15minutes. Enjoy.

Lesson 1 is based around flame tests for various cations Lesson 2 is based around precipitation reactions for various anions Each lesson was created for a triple science top set class and lasted an our each. Each has regular learning checks and opportunities for independent work. Save yourself some time and hassle and grab yourself a bargain.

Lesson 1 focuses on a practical testing various cations apart from ammonium ions Lesson 2 focuses on a practical testing a variety of fertilisers to see if they contain ammonium ions All worksheets and notes for technicians are provided. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson encourages students to question different aspects of the periodic table such as groups and periods and investigate patterns in properties of elements. All worksheets provided within power point except a periodic table which can easily be sourced online. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson is intended for GCSE students at looks at what the atomic number and atomic mass tell us about the atom. It also looks at the idea of isotopes.

This group of powerpoints covers the Edexcel (9-1) specification for the electrolytic processes and covers all of the outcomes covered in the spec for this topic. N.B Many of the lessons include built in worksheets that can easily be printed off. Grab yourself a bargain and save yourself loads of time. Thanks for looking Jon

This is an introductory lesson to the concept of conservation of mass where students investigate what happens to the mass of water when salt is added to it. They then have to try and explain why the mass goes up despite not being able to see the salt anymore. Self contained lesson that really got the students engaged. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson revolves around a practical where students have to experimentally determine which site of salt production presents the best yield of salt. Students then use their results to calculate the concentration in g/dm. This is then built on in the following lesson to calculate mol/dm. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson encourages students to start thinking about continuous and discontinuous data with lots of concrete examples. They plot a human bar graph of favourite colours and then carry out a small experiment investigating how the volume of vinegar added to baking soda alters the amount of foam produced. This easily lasts a double lesson (100minutes) and is a really fun way to get students engaged with graphs. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This is an introductory lesson where students use their prior knowledge of atomic mass (Protons and neutrons) to create their own definition for an isotope. They are then guided on how to calculate relative atomic masses from relative abundances of isotopes. Worked well with a middle ability year 9 class.

This is an introductory lesson to chromatography and the term pure. Students create a chromatogram of their own pen and compare it to others. They discover real life applications of this technique.

This lesson is aimed at KS3 to help to develop students investigation skill where they have to identify and categorise the different variables in the experiment, choose the control variables and explain why. The practical is simple and fun where they see how much stomach acid (HCl) branded and unbranded heartburn tablets neutralised. This is a self contained lessons with all instructions and worksheets built in. This will easily last a double period, so grab yourself a bargain and save some time.
