Second lesson from section 1, topic a. PowerPoint includes starter, theory, practical and plenary. Expects students to be able to describe the properties of solids liquids and gases and conduct experiment to collect data and draw a graph to show a cooling curve. Objectives: Can you recall interconversions between solids, liquids and gases? (C) Can you make accurate observations and explain these observations using kinetic theory? (B) Can you draw graphical data from practical work and further evaluate the idea of kinetic theory? (A/A*)

The 'Limestone and Building Materials' topic looks at uses of limestone and reactions of the carbonates. Lesson objectives: Most students will be able to: Recap uses of limestone See how metal carbonates react similarly to limestone, when they are heated, and the products that they make. Write word equations to describe thermal decomposition in a metal carbonate. Some students should also be able to: Detail thermal decomposition of metal carbonates, in a balanced symbol equation. Resources included: 1.Worksheet to explain practical lesson with questions included. 2. PowerPoint with starter recapping uses of limestone, method to explain practical, with expected results provided. Then a plenary to test understanding of word and symbol equations.

Introduction to IGCSE Chemistry and the first lesson in the topic 'States of Matter'. Dealing with changes of state between solids, liquids and gases and demonstrating diffusion with a choice of experiments depending on the level of student understanding and equipment available to you. Objectives: Can you describe the interconversions of solids, liquids & gases? (C) Can you explain the idea of diffusion with a practical example? (B) Can you apply the idea of diffusion to fully explain an example within both liquids & gases? (A/A*) Students expected to formulate their own ideas about diffusion and draw on knowledge from KS3.

The second lesson in 'The Fundamental Ideas in Chemistry' topic looking at how electrons are arranged in shells. Lesson objectives: -Understand that elements in the same group in the periodic table have the same number of electrons in their highest energy level (outer electrons) and this gives them similar chemical properties. -Know that elements in Group 0 of the periodic table are called the noble gases. They are unreactive because their atoms have stable arrangements of electrons. Resources included: x1 Powerpoint starter on identification of element from atomic number. x1 PowerPoint with lesson objectives from AQA with main content of lesson and plenary. x 4 worksheets, all based on understanding electron arrangement, chose which one depending on your students. x2 teaching aid/animation good to use with interactive whiteboard or mouse (.swf files need Adobe Flash Player)

Students investigate surface area though a range of practical applications. Suitable for GCSE or an able year 9 group. Objectives What is surface area and how is it calculated? (Grade C) Can you explain how surface area affects the rate of a reaction? (Grade C) Can you explain why surface area affects the rate of a reaction? (Grade B) Can you apply this explanation to a reaction between limestone chips and acid? (Grade A)

Exam questions to cover the following topics: Enthalpy change (ΔH) Calorimetry Simple applications of Hess’s Law Bond enthalpies
