Designed for AQA (1-9) specification. Covers the basics of covalent bonding, worked examples need to be completed on the whiteboard. Quick test leading to differentiated task.

Designed for AQA (1-9) specification. Recap atomic and electronic structure. Activity to assess understanding which then leads into a differentiated task.

Introduction to using the periodic table, atoms, elements, reactions and compounds. Worksheet to test use of the periodic table and a diagram of an atom to label. The demos could be anything to show different ways that we know a chemical reaction is happening and show elements and compounds reacting. I did demos of burning magnesium, acid + bicarb, lead nitrate + potassium iodide.

Designed for AQA (1-9) specification. Includes activity and tasks. Put together for a lesson where no lab was available, so no practical included here.

Designed for AQA (1-9) specification. I did the group 1metals an water demo, instructions not included but readily available.

I used this as a revision lesson at the end of the unit, but would work equally well as a follow up lesson after teaching atomic structure. Key word activity, AfL, differentiated exam question, literacy task. Please see the notes in the power point for direction on how I carry out the key words activity. Levelled worksheets are shown on the hidden slide, I hand annotated these as can be seen on the pictures. My class found these very helpful.

Designed to introduce a low ability/SEN class to chemistry. Demo group 1 metals in water and potassium iodide + lead nitrate to spark interest. They then carry out their own investigations to find out about the properties of some chemicals and their reactivity. Worksheet included for them to record all their observations/results.

Introduction to the structure of the atom, using the periodic table to find information and how we know that a chemical reaction has happened. I did three demos in this lesson showing three different ways we might know a reaction has happened and this generated lots of discussion. The worksheet gives the reactions for the demos and gives the class tasks for each reaction (e.g. identify the elements and compounds in the reaction).

Water purification (Potable Water) for AQA 1-9. Power point and practical sheet. Students test the pH of 3 types of water (any available will do), and then evaporate off to see if any solid is left behind. The worksheet gives a full method plus space for students to record results and answer questions on the method (preparing for exams).

Revision lesson for the first unit of Biology in Y8 (AQA). Looks at key words and definitions, a quiz quiz trade activity and differentiated exam question to extend learning (scaffolding is given in the notes on the power point). Please read the notes on the power point for how key word activities and exam questions are intended to be used.

Whole lesson for Life Cycles Assessment part of the using resources unit. Designed for AQA 1-9, new specification. Starter, exam question, information to collect and comparison needs to be made to give an opinion in the style of a 6 mark question. Information and pictures included so that the students can collect the information that they think they will need to answer the question. I have also put together a work sheet with the question to answer, the mark scheme, space for their notes and space to fully answer the question. I will then review the answers before the next lesson and set targets for improvement.

Whole lesson with activities to encourage students to discuss ideas and use information to make decisions about the most appropriate choices for applications. Consideration of safety, cost, state etc.

Revision lesson following a unit introducing chemistry and the idea of chemical reactions. Atomic structure, using the periodic table, how we know a reaction is happening, choosing elements for a purpose and properties of elements. Differentiated task, key word activity, extensions and peer assessment. Please read the notes in the power point for directions of how the tasks are intended to be completed.

I put this resource together to help my Y11’s to revise for the required practicals. It gives a basic outline of the method for each of the 6 Chemistry practicals in the new 9-1 Trilogy specification, along with the variables (where necessary), diagrams of equipment, some hints and tips and safety pointers that may be useful for the exams. I have also included links to other topics in the specification - there is no information on these but it gives students an indication of where these practicals may be linked to other topics. I have found this really useful to use alongside exam questions.

A guide for the common command words in Science. For each command word there is success criteria, key words/phrases to use and a worked example highlighting where the success criteria are used.

Lesson on Le Chatelier and the effect of changing conditions and the position of the equilbrium and yield of products/reactants. Assumes that reversible reactions and equilibrium has already been taught.

Revision lesson of RFM build around the summer 2018 exam question. This lesson was put together for foundation tier students, but content applies to higher tier. Discusses the command word, topic and key words of the questions then walks through the information that students need to answer the question with mini white board practice questions at each stage. FInally use knowldge to answer the exam question as a class and then further question individually.

Lesson built around the summer 2018 exam asking students to write a method to find the density of an irregular object. This lesson was designed for foundation tier students. Discusses the exam question, command word and what this means and key words. Covers the knowledge that students need about density to be able to understand the topic and answer questions. There is practice for students at each stage. Finally students answer the question, look at success criteria and mark using model answer.
