A full, differentiated lesson based on the new AQA SOW (C5.7). A starter where students categorise items as acidic, alkaline or neutral is used to determine preconceived knowledge. Following this the pH range, acids, bases, and alkalis are discussed making use of examples. Students are prompted to take notes at key points using red font and a pen symbol. The release of H+ and OH- ions is also discussed ahead of methods in determining the pH of solutions. Knowledge is then applied to a differentiated question grid followed by peer/self-marking. A practical exercise (tailored to (C5.7) is then conducted where students prepare a pH curve by systematically adding acid to an alkaline solution using a burette, and monitoring the pH using a probe. Note, pipettes and universal indicator can be used as simple alternatives respectively. Stretch questions are included for the more able. The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are incorporated into the slides facilitating self/peer marking and timers are included to promote pace.
Full differentiated lesson including practical activity and risk assessment. Tailored to activate SOW but can be used for others. Lesson is differentiated to support both more and less able. Timings and powerpoint animations used to keep pace and facilitate Q/A during self or peer marking.
Complete lesson with plan, support sheets. Fully differentiated and has timings for pace and PowerPoint animations to accommodate for Q/A during peer or self review of answers after each learning checkpoint. Exciting 'car race' plenary included with pre-made question/answer sheet.
A complete lesson on the topic of solubility, based upon activate 2 SOW. The lesson includes a simple practical where students assess how temperature effects the solubility of salt within water. Ranked questions and stretch activities support differentiation, support sheets guide students through the practical, timers promote pace and powerpoint animation facilitates Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.
A full differentiated lesson based on the topic of Boiling. The lesson is based upon the Activate 1 (C1.4) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson includes a differentiated worksheet and activity and a practical exercise involving the growing of copper sulfate crystals. The plenary is based on student reflection on their progress against the learning objectives.
A complete, differentiated lesson on the halogens. This lesson was prepared for a high ability year 9 group and is very fitting for year 10. Lesson includes timers to promote pace and PowerPoint animations to facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint. Plenary activity is an exciting ‘car race’ quiz with prepared questions included.
A complete, differentiated lesson for the topic of solutions. Additional green, yellow and red planner cards are needed for one of the AFL activities. The lesson is based on the Activate SOW and planned for a year 8 class. Could be used for other SOW’s and year groups depending on ability. Timers are included to promote pace and the answers for each learning checkpoint are incorporated into the slides through animation. A ‘car race’ plenary is included with preprepared questions and answers.
A full lesson based on the new AQA C5.1 SOW but can be used for others. The lesson starts off covering 7 key properties of metals, students are guided to categorise certain properties to metals or non-metals as you work through the slides. Oxidation/reduction in metal ores is then discussed ahead of the meaning and relevance of the reactivity series during a short talk, during which students are prompted to take notes of key points. A demonstration is then conducted where metals are reacted with water and then dilute acid (instructions included). During this demonstration students must determine the order of the reactivity series. The students will then independently attempt questions based on the demonstration they have observed. As a final plenary students will reflect on their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included in the slides, with animation to facilitate questioning during self/peer correction. Timers are included to promote pace.
Full differentiated lesson with everything you need. Based on activate SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Timers and powerpoint animations included to promote pace and Q/A during peer or self mediated correction. Exciting 'car race' plenary included with ready made questions. Class wide AFL supported through simple show me 'red, green or yellow card' exercise.
Full differentiated lesson with everything you need for group 1 metals. Based on activate SOW and pitched to year 8 group - can be used for other years/SOW. Opportunity to demonstrate group 1 reactivity but video included in case otherwise. Class wide AFL through red, yellow and green card show me. Data activity included for independent learning with support sheets for less able.
A full differentiated lesson for group 7 elements with everything you need. Based on activate SOW for year 8 but can be used for other SOW or age groups.
A complete differentiated lesson with everything you need for the properties of ionic compounds. Tailored towards Edexcell SOW but can be used for others.
A complete lesson based on the activate 1 SOW and pitched to a year 7 class. The lesson is differentiated with the use of 'stretch' activities and support sheets for more and less able respectively. The differentiated question grid challenge pushes all abilities within the group. A fun whiteboard activity is included relating to hazard symbols. This lesson includes timers to promote pace, and powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during review of answers at each learning checkpoint.
A complete lesson on metals and oxygen based on the activate 2 SOW. The lesson includes a practical demonstration where students fill in a observation sheet and produce (simple) balanced equations. If you can get pure oxygen from the techies you can really promote a love of learning with this. A choice of 2 plenaries are included, reflective writing or whiteboard based. Answers to each learning checkpoint are incorporated into the slides via animation. Timers are included to promote pace.
A full lesson covering rates of reaction (temp catalysts etc.) and how to calculate it from a graph. Lesson is fully differentiated, includes timers for pace and has powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during a review of each learning checkpoint. Lesson is based on OCR SOW but could be used for any.
A complete lesson based on 3 key areas within OCR chemistry C3. This lesson was produced for a high ability year 11 group during exam intervention, differentiation through the use of the included support sheets would facilitate use with lower abilities. It covers the following: percentage yield and atom economy, reaction masses (calculations) and batch vs. continuous processing . The lesson contains timers to promote pace and is fully animated to allow a Q/A session during peer assessment of answers after each learning checkpoint. The plenary is designed to guide students to reflect on their progress/emerging needs.
A full, differentiated lesson for the topic of mixtures. The lesson is based on the activate SOW and was designed for a year 8 class however, the lesson is transferable to other SOW and groups depending on ability. The lesson includes a simple practical activity where students design their own methods to separate the different components of 3 mixtures. Timers are included to promote pace, and PowerPoint animations facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.
A full differentiated lesson based on the new AQA (C1.8) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson employs several activities to scaffold students towards writing/drawing electron structures for the first 20 elements of the periodic table. All answers are included in the slides and timers are used to promote pace. Hope it saves you some time.
