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.
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 full differentiated lesson on the topic of evaporation and distillation. This lesson is based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Support sheets and stretch activities facilitate the progress of more and less able throughout the lesson. This slide set can work with, or without a demonstration of distillation equipment. Answers to learning checkpoints are incorporated into the slide set via power point animation and the inclusion of timers promotes pace.
A full revision lesson based on the Activate 2 (C2.1) SOW but can be used for others. This lesson recaps metals and non-metals, periods and groups of the periodic table, properties of group 1 elements and reactivity in group 7 elements (displacement reactions). The starter activity is taken from another author on TES.

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.
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.
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.
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 lesson on ‘filtration’ based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. The lesson includes a simple practical where students separate rocks and salt through filtration. Numeracy based ‘power cards’ are included to better support the less able during the method writing section. A differentiated question grid is included as a follow up activity, this can be used to push both less and more able, or alternatively as a competition between boys and girls. A choice of two plenaries are included. As always, powerpoint timers and animations are included to promote pace and Q/A during the review of answers.
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 full 1h lesson based on the activate 2 'metals and water' topic. The lesson incorporates a demonstration of group 1 metals reacting with water, alongside a reaction of magnesium and steam. If you are uncomfortable doing this videos can be used as an alternative. Prediction and equation writing is planned ahead of these demonstrations - students are scaffolded up to this. Students produce a mnemonic to remember the reactivity series and test their learning through a simple ( but fun) planner card activity. A great lesson to 'promote a love of learning' .
A full, differentiated lesson based on chromatography. The lesson includes a simple practical where students identify 'who stole my lunch'. The method writing section is differentiated to support low, mid and high ability students making use of literacy and numeracy for students to complete their methods. Additional stretch sheets are included within the analysis questions if students complete all the work ahead of time. The plenary activity encourages students to reflect upon their progress against the learning objectives.

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 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 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 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.
