A quiz in the format of an i-phone app. Pupils look at the 4 pictures and decide what the key word is using the letters at the bottom. All the words are linked to the Chemistry GCSE making this a useful revision aid. To those asking how you make your own, I used screen shots of the game (from Google) and copied and pasted my own images over the top. I then cut and pasted the correct letters from different screen shots to make sure the right letters were available. It was very time consuming but the pupils loved it so it was worth it.

Cut out pictures and laminate. Pupils put cards in order from most acidic to most alkaline. If you have Smartboard, they can then drag the names into the right order before you reveal the correct answer (behind the blue box). Alternatively, you can reveal the answers on the Powerpoint. Please leave feedback.

Introduction to Waves Circus for AQA (low ability)

(9)
An active way to teach waves, which I made to introduce my low ability Year 10s to waves. Print the circus and put the sheets at 5 stations around the room. Pupils move around the stations in groups filling in their sheet (print slide 5 of the powerpoint). Go through the answers on the powerpoint and then pupils fill in the blanks (print slide 11) to check their understand. Feedback appreciated.

A simple sheet for pupils to label the main parts of the National Grid. I made it for my bottom set Year 10 class, many of whom are SEN. Please give feedback as I'm new to teaching Physics!
Making Neutralisation Word Equations

Making Neutralisation Word Equations

(4)
Pupils cut out the 16 squares and sort into 4 piles - acids, bases, salts and water. They then use these to form neutralisation equations. These can then be stuck in books with + signs and arrows added to form correct word equations. Good for helping pupils to understand how to name salts.

Questions covering all of the new specification. The questions summarise the entire content. Pupils can complete the questions for revision and use their textbooks to mark it. I wrote the questions using the content of the new Pearson's textbook and a couple of the calculation questions are from the book (pupils can look up their answers to these in the book). I have not proof read my work so apologies if there are typos! Please leave feedback if you use this resource.
