Classic rates of reaction practical aimed at a foundation level set. Includes starter, blank results table and straightforward method and analysis. Pearson textbook useful as a back up but not necessary to complete this useful lesson,

Introduction to the equilibrium concept including how temperature. concentration and pressure affect the equilibrium. Includes a GCSE Chemistry starter and review questions at the end (page references link to Pearson Chemistry textbook, but others could be used.

3 Printable write on revision sheets Alkanes/Alkenes Ethanol production Polymer properties and uses Page references linked to standard Pearson chem book but could be adapted to whichever textbook you use

Lesson includes… Theory Methods for all positive ions Relevant you tube links Suggestions for “mystery substance” activity Some pages refer to Pearson Edexcel GCSE Chem textbook

Want your students to make sure they understand the copper sulfate core practical. Why not give this review lesson a whirl? It’s free! The main activities link to the standard Pearson combined science textbook. Feel free to share it with colleagues.

Preparing an insoluble salt - in this case making magnesium carbonate. Lesson includes method and analysis questions linked to the Pearson Edexcel textbook. \make sure you do your own risk assessment.

A straightforward revision sheet on atomic structure. Would be useful to review the atomic structure section of the spec. Focused on the lower attaining end of the student spectrum.

Practical lesson where students can plan to find out which sample has the highest % of salt in a selection of 3 samples. Set as a challenge will require planning by students. Both basic and advanced methods given if they reach a dead end. Would be suitable for an extended lesson “100 minutes” or two singles.

Introduction to solubility, with starter and discussion activities as well as a suggested practical, with results table. Analysis questions available at the end of the lesson

An intro lesson into solubility including a starter, practical, results sheet and analysis questions to finish off the practical. Lesson suitable for a 50-60 minute lesson. Aimed at grades 4-6 - but could be adapted up or down to suit a different class. Suitable for GCSE Chemistry or GCSE Combined Science (Chemistry)

A lesson for lower attaining pupils to help them predict states of matter given melting and boiling points for different substances. The main activity involves students deciding whether certain substances will be solid liquid or gas on the different planets of the solar system. This could be a desk-bound actovity or you could print the imahes of the planets and their average temperatures and students could circulate the room to complete the activity. Suitable for mid-low attaining GCSE group or a sparky KS3 group.

This lesson is designed for a low ability class to guide them through a simple lesson looking at monitoring temperature drop through a phase change. The practical is based on melting Stearic acid and collecting the results as it cools and reaches its freezing point. Pure stearic acid should show a “flatlined” plot during the cooling curve to show that it is a “pure substance”

Simple introduction to solubility with a suggested practical for students to carry out. Includes starter discussion, simple practical method and analysis questions at the end.

A full lesson with worksheets to help teach how you work out the formula of a compound once you know their ionic charges. Presentation and 2 worksheets with different levels of difficulty.

An intro into atomic structure for a low attaining to middle ability group. Includes video links and specific questions and print outs. The relevant part of your textbook will be needed to help students with the answers. Includes some sheets you can print out to help scaffold learners.

Lesson focused on the displacement theory of reactions. Including a template for the classic metal/metal solution practical. Analysis questions at the end.

Delve into the story of the atom in this lesson aimed at a higher ability KS3 group. Stand alone lesson with all resources available in the power point + an extension sheet To name the scientists involved in the atomic theory story To order their ideas on a historical time line To summarise their key ideas To rank their ideas in order of importance. To judge which scientist made the biggest contribution to the atomic story. To explain how these ideas may be useful across all sciences.

Here’s a lesson for a pretty dull topic - choosing materials. Includes activities a 20 minute clip of an architect choosing materials and a silly 2 minute song as well. Also includes a tricky calculation starter to get their brains going. Lesson is aimed at the higher end of the ability spectrum

End of term fun for a KS3 class. The challenge is to optimise the (pop) from a combination of alka seltser tablets and water - either changing the water/air ratio or the temperature of the water. Full results table/technician order included. Make your last few lessons go with a fizz of excitement!

A super challenge (separation of rock salt basically) but given an xmas theme. A basic and advanced method included depending on your class as well as a results table if needed. A “do now” task and a summary task also available in the presentation.
