A lesson all about the greenhouse effect and climate change plus an extra part of the lesson looking at correlation and climate change references link to the Pearson Combined Science textbook. Useful video links also embedded in the power point.

Introduction to lattice enthalpies. Key terma and examples of born haber cycles included.

A resource that can be printed on A4 or A3 to summarise the basics of positive and negative ion formation. Students can either complete with or without a textbook depending on their confidence.

Straightforward safety lesson which would be great for a lower ability class. Quick discussion on safety scenarios they can then go around the room collecting information about the different hazard symbols (print off and put stick around the room). At the end of the ppt there is a more advanced version (longer sentences) that could be used fore a more able group. Lab safety if from an old spotlight science book - you could swap with whatever scheme you use.

An intro lesson to indicators linked to acids and alkalis. This is a theory lesson related to CC8a of the combined science textbook (Pearson). Includes a starter and the main tasks get progressively more challenging. A straightforward lesson where the kids can just crack on with it and you can circulate!

A lesson all about the Earth’s changing atmosphere CC17b. Starter questions and video links embedded in the lesson. Some activities link to the Pearson Edexcel combined science textbook

A cracking lesson about cracking for a mid to high set.Some activities linked to the Pearson Combined textbook if you have it but could be adapted to whatever you have. Starter, theory and summary qs all included.

Lesson focusing on the key properties of ionic compounds. Includes a simple practical for students to carry out. as well as a starter activity on ionic formulae and analysis questions at the end.

Higher tier GCSE Ionic lattice lesson. Refers to a sheet from active teach, which your school may already subscribe to (not included) and refers to pages from the standard Pearson combined Science textbook for GCSE Science. Much of the lesson can be adapted though. Success criteria are To state what an ionic lattice is To explain how it forms To predict compound names from the ions they contain To use the “ - ide” and “- ate” suffix correctly To work out the correct formulas for ionic compounds if given their charges

A practical focused on 2 of the main properties of ionic compounds a) they usually dissolve in water and b) they have high melting temperatures. The lesson has a starter activity, with answers a practical and some review questions. Suitable for a 50/60 minute lesson.

Ionic Lattice lesson aimed and mid to low ability groups. Includes video links and starter activity. Lesson refers to some sheets that you will have access to if you subscribe to active learn by Pearson. Page references are linked to the standard Pearson"combined science" textbook that goes with the GCSE course. NOT endorsed by Pearson Pearson sheets are NOT included in the lesson

A lesson covering how the “Bohr” model used at GCSE was developed. Looking at the progress through Dalton, J J Thomson, Rutherford and Niels Bohr. Includes links to relevant videos. Specific questions are also included. A textbook or revision guide would be a good accessory to this lesson. Designed for a 50 or 60 minute lesson.

A lesson linked to the distillation of ink for Edexcel - includes starter questions and activities linked to the Pearson Combined science textbook (P154). Also includes a video link showing the practical

Introduction to the basics of atomic structure - includes video links and plenty of opportunities for questions /self assessment. Aimed at the top end for a pacey 50 minute lesson.

Lesson covering water purification and desalination. Contains video links and tasks. Main tasks are linked to the Pearson combined science textbook. Aimed at the middle ability class Gd 4-6.

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”
