This lesson was designed based on current specifications from AQA GCSE chemistry. It is very effective to ask pupils to count the stairs on one side of the school before the lesson, and collect their varied results.

These presentations and worksheet activities will inform pupils to investigate some widely used composites.

This is will be useful for a number of chemistry topics. It links several concepts. Originally designed for revising a Key Stage 3 unit of work.

Here are two versions of powerpoints for lessons on Concentration. The examples will introduce pupils to calculating concentrations in both grams per Litre and Moles per Litre (litre same as 1000cm3, 1000ml, or 1dm3, exam spec prefers 1dm3, good practise for A Level KS5)

Two resources here; mixture of correct and deliberately incorrect electronic shell diagrams for first 20 elements of periodic table. Print in black/white, get pupils to mark in red pen, This reveals whether they grasp what is correct and incorrect (2:8:8:2 rule). Pupil name column for info on atomic and electronic structure. Pass around class during lessons, to collect pieces of information about how pupils are progressing.

Good for some active learning

Key Stage 3 resource

Here is an example of a powerpoint that I made for a single lesson with Key Stage 3 pupils.

This is a worksheet that makes the concept of catalysts more relevant for key stage 3 pupils with contexts of car manufacturers.

THIS RESOURCE WILL NEED CHANGING BEFORE BEING USED IN A LESSON, TO MAKE IT MATCH THE CURRICULUM MORE. This is an extension lesson for those pupils very interested in exothermic and endothermic reactions. It includes the higher level Key Stage 4 energy curves. It includes thought-provoking ideas about exploding freezers due to flammable coolants.

Required GCSE Chemistry Practical, Making soluble Copper Sulfate from insoluble base Copper Oxide. These resources have been successfully used with key stage four classes.

This lesson has been used on several key stage 3 classes. There is a card game which I made. It is mixed up. Pupils can do the cutting and sticking to match up the substances to the picture.

This lessons is differentiated. It is three tasks. It is designed for three groups to do a competition.

This is a double lesson resource. Lesson 1 : practise balancing equations. Slides have been proven to help key stage 4 pupils with this skill. Lesson 2: introduction to conservation of mass and loss of gas mass product. Practical with decomposition of Copper Carbonate.

Year 10 revision, for AQA units C1 C2 and C3. Useful for end of year exam revision. Works as a lesson or homework.

These resources helped key stage four pupils grasp initial concepts of moles in higher level GCSE.

These slides present activities which can cover 1 or 2 lessons.

This sheet is perfect for whole class practice, extension tasks or even sanctions (cumulative, 5 equations for each warning).

Print, laminate, cut up, group work carousel around the room. Helps prepare Key Stage 4 Year 10 pupils for end of unit 2 chemistry test. Questions are a mix of Foundation and Higher.
