Designed for a low ability set with lots of SEN. Practical, sentence starters for discussion and literacy tasks. Links to diffusion is cells and why this is important.

Whole lesson covering how to calculate rates of reaction for the new AQA specification. Includes a recap of calculating mean and anomalous results. Calculating mean using numbers and graphs. Levelled task for students to pick tasks that suit their confidence level and an exam question included (this should be changed to suit the group).

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.

The worksheet provides a starter (recap of electrolysis cell from previous lesson), method, results table and questions for the students to answer.

Introduction to the topic of equilibrium and what it means in terms of rate of a reaction. Links to two videos which my class found helpful to visualise equilibrium. Levelled tasks including an exam question.

Designed for low ability set with lots of SEN students. Includes pictures and activities. Use pre-made slides of different tissues to compare. Literacy task, AfL.

Revision of the topics mitosis and meiosis. Brief teaching slides covering both with diagrams, multiple choice questions to check understanding (I use mini white boards for this). Exam questions with answers for independent work and a 6 mark question. Indented as revision for a middle ability set.

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.

Revision lesson aimed at a middle ability Y11 class with very little recall or hormones and hormonal control. Covers the main glands, their locations and what their role is as well as the control of blood sugar levels and diabetes. Some tasks are included to check understanding as you go. Exam questions could also be included as appropriate for your class. You will need a text book or other information source to support students with some tasks unless you expect them to have good recall of the topic.

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.

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

For the new AQA A Level Chemistry specification. Requires molymod kits. Looks at all the key words for this section of work. Encourages students to think about what makes a molecule chiral and come up with their own rules. This lesson has been very successful for me and the students have really engaged with the use of molymods. Print off the last slide to hand out and stick into notes.

Review of observations when chemical reactions happen and a basic introduction to rates and observations we can make to tell us that the rate is different. This lesson was designed for bottom set Y10 with lots of SEN students. 2 practicals included. Could be split over 2 lessons depending on length.

Put together for KS3 (Y8). Starts with a quiz and then some AfL to assess current knowledge and allow for discussion of different energy needs/food intake and why. You will need some food labels for them to analyse in groups and compare to each others. Oracy and literacy task. And plenary to get them thinking about health vs energy.

Power point cover the basics of all of the above. Includes a scavenger hunt task to recap previous learning on separating mixtures. Required practical work sheet including questions to extend and consolidate knowledge in preparation for the exam.

Designed for foundation class for new AQA 9-1 GCSE. This lesson follows on from the electrolysis required practical. Everything you need for the lesson is included here, rules for predicting products, AfL mini whiteboard activity and key word recap. Does not go into half equations at electrodes.

A revision power point I have put together to use with foundation paper Y11 students for their final lesson before the paper 1 exam. I have tried to cover something from each topic (atomic structure, bonding, acids and alkalis, electrolysis, extracting metals and exo and endothermic reactions). This is designed to be basic to refresh memories and pick up 1 mark answers. Looks at making salts and energy changes required practicals as well a refresher on variables and mean.
