Lesson Workbook
This resource is a ten page lesson booklet on the subject of elements, compounds and mixtures. Included within this workbook:
Key Definitions
Diagrams
Element Factfile Task
Simple Reaction Equations
Atoms and Elements in Compounds
Mixture Separation Techniques
Examples of Each
Word search
This lesson workbook is ideal for grades five to eight depending on ability - please view the preview included. This workbook generally takes an hour for a class to complete and I have found it very useful as a summary tool.
Please note that some of my resources may have American spellings. Thank you very much.
Designed to be delivered to Year 9 class but can be adapted for different year groups / abilities.
Recaps on atomic structure.
Defines elements, compounds and mixtures with examples.
Worksheet included to test the students understanding.
Rules for naming compounds given. Activity for students to complete word equations and name compounds.
Exam style questions for plenary. Higher ability level attached.
This worksheet is aimed at KS3 and GCSE Chemistry students. The students are asked to sort the diagrams and information as element, compound or mixture.
Variation style task designed to allow students to practice a variety of different styles of questions.
Used for a KS3 class but could be adapted & used at KS4.
Answers are included.
Created on PPT so can be displayed easily on a screen.
Two identical A5 crosswords to help revise Elements, Compounds and Mixtures. Suitable for use with KS3 and GCSE. Word list can be cut off to increase challenge.
Cootie catchers are a great way to reinforce and review key topic vocabulary. The Elements, Compounds and Mixtures cootie catcher has a series of questions on the different types of matter.
Terms covered:
➸ Matter
➸ Element
➸ Compound
➸ Mixture
➸ Atoms
➸ Molecules
➸ Homogeneous mixture
➸ Heterogeneous mixture
It also includes a bonus activity sheet [matching activity and word search]
A great accompaniment to the above resource:

Card Sort on definitions and examples of atoms, molecules, elements, compounds & mixtures.
Great as starter, plenary or revision activity.
Card Sort: 25 cards per set
Including shuffled version
Updated with new chemistry resources: elements and compounds worksheets, formulae activities, etc, etc.
Numeracy task (“all matters”) to help students to figure out the composition of gases in the air - independent and student-led (with extension task). Easy to differentiate further.
Summary task of “atoms, elements and compounds” with answers.
Word cloud for students to annotate, draw diagrams for, summarise their learning… use for spelling tests, make questions using the words, play Taboo, word splat, mind map, etc…
A revision poster summarising the key-points on Elements, compounds and mixtures.
To include;
definitions atom, element, compound and mixture (including particle drawings)
chemical symbol, atomic number and mass of the first 20 elements
explanation on molecule formations and chemical bonds; including visual aids
comparison between the composition, properties, and bonding of compounds and mixtures.
My students stick this revision poster/chart into their copy book at the start or end of the chapter content delivery. I use these revision posters to show students the importance of chunk revising. They spend time recalling/memorising the key-points. I encourage students to use this revision resource to create their own revision resource (mind-map/flashcards/sketch notes/audio recordings etc.) to suit their learning style.
AQA Combined Chemistry (8464) Atomic Structure and Periodic Table Paper 1
Lesson 1 - Atoms, Elements, Molecules, Compounds, Mixtures and Introduction to Reactions
Includes presentation, accompanying worksheets, scheme of work, technician sheet and some free starter activities.
This lesson is about Compounds and Mixtures. Explain the differences between compounds and mixtures with examples. Discuss physical change vs. chemical change. Review the different types of mixtures (solution, colloid, suspension) and classify them to homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
A part of a science course for grade 8 (Chemistry).
The set includes Power-Point presentation and iBook, which is an Interactive Book, where the students fill the blanks that goes in accordance with the PPT slides.
In addition there are all the answers to the iBook for the teacher.
A KS3 lesson looking at the difference between atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures, how to represent elements as symbols and interpreting the numbers of atoms and elements in a chemical compound. The lesson features:
-An engaging starter task using a video to ascertain students prior ideas around what elements are (Daniel Radcliffe singing 'the elements song')
-Key term and definition match
- Quick multiple choice questions to assess student understanding
- A task using sweets to model atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures including an opportunity for students to explain their arrangements
- A worksheet requiring students to recognise atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures
-An activity to help students recognise element symbols on the periodic table
An activity to practice recognising numbers of atoms and elements in chemical formulae
Identifying elements, compounds and mixtures
Worksheet to help students consolidate knowledge of elements, compounds and mixtures.
key definitions
identification of elements, compounds and mixtures from particle diagrams
classification of substances as pure/impure
identifying the characteristics/properties of elements, compounds and mixtures
Answer sheet included!
Elements Compounds and Mixtures Lapbook: This lapbook is a fun hands on activity for students to use in their interactive notebooks. Students may research or show what they have learned by writing a description then listing some examples on the provided blank lines. This lapbook also doubles as a coloring book, as students may color in the picture of each example. A completed lapbook with answers is included.
Note: This lapbook fits inside of composition books (as shown on the cover page)
This elements, compounds, and mixtures lapbook contains the following:
1. How to use and Assembly Instructions for the lapbook
2. Completed facts for each term:
Element, Compound, Homogeneous mixture, Heterogeneous mixture
3. Blank versions for students to write their own facts for each term
4. Check out the preview for more details
