Worksheet activity for pupils in KS3 on metal uses. Pupils have to find the name of different metals and then link them to the correct use.

Simple Venn diagram worksheet. Students have to place the statements in the correct place on the Venn diagram. Another plenary I find works really well with this topic is to arrange pupils into groups of two or three and provide each group with a petri dish lid or base and a lump of plastacine. Get the students to make particles out of the plastacine, then arrange them in the petri dish as you would find them in solids, liquids etc. The nice thing about making the partcles in the petri dishes is that you can put them on the projector and get the rest of the class to assess them.

An introduction into calculating calculation. Students can find this tricky, (for some reason), so I have tried to represent it as simply as possible.

Simple worksheet used to introduce pyramids of numbers and biomass. Students will need three different coloured pencils or felt pens, a ruler and pencil to complete.

Simple Power Point which could be used as a plenary after completing food tests or as a starter before students carry out food tests on different foods.

Cut and paste worksheet where students have to match the acid to its corresponding base.

Current, voltage and circuits HW sheet.

Simple worksheet to help students find their way around the periodic table. Pupils will need a copy of the periodic table with both the symbols and names of elements on.

I usually get students to do this lesson after completing a practical circus/investigation into metals properties. Dingbats starter. Answers: copper, mercury, tungstem/tungsten, (I know I cheated!) iron and potassium. Mind map to be copied into books. The passport control I get students to act out in pairs at the end of the lesson.I usually finish off by showing youtubes of exceptions to the rules, such as a canon ball floating on mercury - a liquid, but still dense.

Worksheet with practical instructions for making copper from copper oxide via copper sulfate. Also contains a few questions for students to answer. May be useful after studying displacement reactions, (no matter how well you have taught this some students will still say the orange material appearing on the paperclip is rust!) May also be used after introducing equations.

Powerpoint showing the multiplication of Bob, a bateria.

Simple worksheet aimed at helping to introduce students to the terms reactants andproducts and to basic word equations.

A little booklet outlining the maths skills required for the GCSE Chemistry course. Including examples to complete and QR links to helpful websites.

Simple cut and paste worksheet about the three states of matter.

Summary and literacy assignment in which students have to use their knowledge of ocean acidification and the reactions of carbonates to respond to a letter from Nemo.

Worksheet about lots of useful neutralisation reactions. Could be set for homework or used for cover lesson.

A worksheet with instructions for the student version of the classic demo, with a few questions thrown in for good measure.

I usually get the students to carry this out after having done the RSC's tricky tracks as a starter, so that students can distinguish between an observation and a conclusion. It is a sample set of instructions for six nice, simple practicals students can have a go at. As extension work you could then get them to write equations for the reactions.

Print onto thin card. Pupils to cut them out and write the answers on the back. They then use them to test themselves as per the instructions on the top.

Simple worksheet where students have to read statements and then tick yes or no depending on whether they are correct or not. If they are incorrect they have to write a correct statement in the space provided.
