The first slide should be printed and given to the class (one each). This gives them the instructions using all the HP names for the the potion 'ingredients'. The second slide gives the equipment needed for each station and the real world names of the 'ingredients'. I used this with low ability Y8 but could easily be used for any lower school class (or possibly primary?) as a fun intro to Science or end of term activity. I designed these to fit into an hour lesson, with 4 groups moving around 4 stations. Add/remove or modify activities depending on class age/size/ability. Please risk assess for you individual class and school.

This contains a summary of all the information needed for the AQA Quantitative Chemistry unit for the new specification. It can be used for both Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. Information is condensed into two pages and includes the equations needed and worked examples. Can be used for revision at the end of the topic or as an introduction. - RAM - RFM - % composition - Conservation of mass - Moles - Concentration of solutions - Yield - Atom economy - Titration calcultions

A one page summary of the Rate and Extent of Chemical Change unit of the AQA new specification for Chemistry. This can be used for both Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. A good revision document for the end of the unit or could be used as an introduction. - Collision Theory - Factors affecting rate of reaction - Calculating rates of reaction - Reversible reactions - Equilibrium and Le Chatelier's principle - Required practical

A 2 page summary of the AQA (new specification) Organic Chemistry unit of work. Covers both trilogy and separate Chemistry content. Can be used for revision at the end of the topic, or as an introduction to a new unit of work. - Crude Oil and Hydrocarbons - Fractional Distillation - Alkanes - Alkenes - Cracking - Testing for Alkenes - Reactions of Alkenes - Addition Polymerisation - Condensation Polymerisation - Naturally Occurring Polymers

This gives a one sheet document that can be printed out and used by the class to complete the required practical. There is a sheet for both part 1 (disappearing cross) and part 2 (volume of gas). For part 1 I have included two options - the second slide is my preferred option and gives the students more guidance (this is the hand out that I used and it goes well along with the power point). Covers hypothesis, variables, the purpose of each step and conclusions. If you are only carrying out the disappearing cross practical then diagrams of the other possibilities are used in the plenary.

This is a lesson using flame tests that I put together for Harry Potter day. Students need to work out who has poisoned Dumbledore. I used this with Y10 who had not done flame tests before.

This lesson has lots of discussion and debate. Encourages students to think about the materials that we use and how important they are to ourselves and other groups of people. Looks at the limited materials we have an how long they may last. Data task on recycling aluminium. You will need to print the information on slide 9.

Designed for the new (1-9) AQA specification. Covering reversible reactions, the energy changes associated with them and a practical. The practical sheet that goes along with this is designed to be used as a single sheet and encourages students to think about the practical in the same detail as is needed for the required practicals. The method is included along with space for their own notes and conclusions.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification), but may also be useful for higher sets at GCSE. Review of knowledge of C/A's and esters from GCSE. Practical making an ester using the simple method freely available from RSC (link on slide) and a differentiated task for once they have finished.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification) on the hydrolysis of esters and its importance. Saponification, biodiesel, transesterification, hydrolysis in acidic and alkaline conditions. The practical here is making soap and detergent - method included.

I put this together as part of AQA A-Level revision for Y13. Summary of what metal-aqua ions are and they reactivity with NH3, NaOH and Na2CO3 (colour changes etc). I printed out the last slide and gave them a copy each for their notes.

For the starter activity provide the class with some information about the elements. This can be tailored to your class, giving more or less information depending on ability (easily found on the web). Scavenger hunt activity about the scientists and their contribution to the development of the periodic table with a table to fill in. I have sanitised the information and cut down the amount of information that they need to read so that this can be completed in 10 minutes. AfL leading to a differentiated exam question. I had 3 sheets scaffolded to different levels. The scaffolding I provided is given on page 2 of the word document.

Introduction or revision of ionic bonding designed for a LA class. For the practical simply ask the students to see if any compounds you have available are soluble in water, conduct as solids and conduct when dissolved. Could also link to revision of electrolysis.

Revision lesson covering the basics of fractional distillation, alkanes and alkenes and cracking. Brief teaching slides covering the basics along with multiple choice questions to identify any gaps in knowledge/understanding and exam questions. The lesson is split into 3 rough sections and could be split over a number of lessons if preferred.

Lesson for top set Y9 on Chemical catalysts. Includes reaction profiles and a look at the change in activation energy, the shape of the catalyst and evaluate command word exam question. 2 practicals are done in this lesson, but could be adapted to include just one, neither, or a practical of your choice. More info on the practicals I do is in the lesson.

Revision lesson on rates of reaction. Made for a middle ability Y11 class with a focus on practicals methods of measuring rate of reaction, writing a method and calculating rates. Does look at tangents and using a tangent to the curve to calculate a rate, but may need more for high ability students to stretch on this - exam questions could easily be added. Does not look at why changing conditions changes the rate of reaction and explaining this.

Full lesson on one sheet. Print the sheet and give on per student. Starter included on sheet. Full method and results table as well as balancing equations plenary. This can be linked to bond making, conservation of mass or balancing equations. Or use as an extension to bring all three together.

Document includes full method for titration and making crystals, plus results table for titration readings. Page two is an equipment list per pair. I put this together when I was looking for a different titration to do with my Y11 Chemistry class. This uses methyl orange as the indicator. They need to be accurate with the end point otherwise they will make coloured crystals. We extended this by looking at the crystals we made under the microscope and making observations. The class found it more engaging than the usual titration work. Easily links in to discussion on the choice of indicator and can be extended to include % yield.

2 options. Full lesson. Includes starter, method, diagrams to refer to during the practical and differentiated plenary questions. Suitable to use for AQA required practical. Print sheet and give one per student. Second option requires the students to say why they are carrying out each step in order to prepare them for the exam. Prompts are given to help scaffold or can be removed for higher ability groups.

This is a one page summary of everything covered in the Energy Changes unit of the AQA new specification for Chemistry. Can be used for revision at the end of the unit, or at the start to introduce key ideas. Includes information for Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. - Exothermic and endothermic reactions - Energy change of reactions - Bond energy calculations - Cells, batteries and fuel cells
