Three action-packed topics providing a one – stop – shop for the kinetic theory of matter (particle theory), mixtures and solutions and separating mixtures. The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school. For each topic, the classroom resource consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 50 slides and a minimum of 13 varied and exciting printables including guides notes, a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. For each topic, the distance learning pack consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 65 slides which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. Each PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, guided notes, cut-outs, foldables and progress checks provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. For each topic there is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of each PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers. What’s Covered Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases. Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles. Change of state including sublimation. Pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume. Diffusion. Elements and compounds are pure substance and mixtures are not. Meaning of the terms solute, solvent, solution, soluble and insoluble. Particle theory to explain why stirring, temperature and particle size affect the rate of dissolving. Particle theory to explain dissolving, suspensions and saturated solutions. Extracting information from solubility curves The composition and physical properties of mixtures Evaporation to dryness and crystallisation Distillation Fractional distillation Filtration Chromatography More high quality resources available here.

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the differences between the properties of metals and non - metals plus an enjoyable yet challenging find the pair game. The teaching pack contains a fully animated PowerPoint and eighteen resources. It is intended that the teacher selects the appropriate printables to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. What’s Covered Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators. Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not. Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull. Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not. Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck. Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic. Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy. Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid. Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide. Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic.
