Lesson slides that take advantage of Wallace and Gromit to engage students in what will hopefully be a 'cracking&' lesson. HIgh octane starter to inject pace which is easily adapted for other lessons. I print the starter as as handout sheet so they only have to complete the cloze exercise without writing everything. Worksheets also included...should be a lot of fun!

Formula mass / molecular weight / moles / % percentage by mass worksheets with range of difficulties. Useful for AQA C2.3. Answer sheet included.

Three worksheets...one for metals with acids, one of rmetal oxides and the other metal carbonates with acids...some symbol equations included to extend. Useful homework or plenary.

Menstrual cycle presented in a snakes and ladders format which students can play. Each square contains info about the cycle and you can follow the course of events in the cycle as you go through game.

Quick intro of methods of making ethanol then evaluation task for hydration versus fermentation. Plenary questions from AQA book. Worksheets also included (with answers). Now also included is a spot the errors comprehension activity and a short quiz.

Animations and sounds. Set up for emulsions but easy to change text to whatever you want. Note to pedants - Yes, shaving foam is a colloid (specifically a foam) and not actually an emulsion i.e.liquid/liquid mixture:)

Presentation, worksheet and practical for teaching halogens. Explains displacement reactions of less reactive halogen salts using humorous cartoons and the practical reinforces how the colour changes observed during this can be used to identify the presence of specific halides (Note: my specification does not require knowledge of shielding, it only considers distance of outermost electron from nucleus)

Simple support worksheet highlighting diamond, graphite,fullerenes and quartz. Emphasis on recording key properties. Based around AQA C2.2.3.

Logic puzzle that requires pupils to solve several calculations related to molecualr weight, moles and % composition by mass. Murder mystery premise shoud help to engage pupils. Answers also provided. Aimed at middle to higher ability students but could easily modify clues to make suitable to all. Hope useful.

Worksheet (also with answers) on reaction of acids with metals and bases. Practical instruction sheet for making copper (II) sulfate. Tutorial slides and a spot the mistakes activity which can provide a useful written description of how to make copper (II) sulfate crystals (which has come up as a 6 mark question). Hope useful:)

Range of questions on types of rock (sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous), weathering and rock cycle. Using for revision but would be perfectly suitable as a test. Answer sheet included. Hope useful.

Set of slides that use Star Wars style scrolling for fun starter or plenary to recap learning. Easy to change to your own text.

Lesson slides to teach AQA properties of polymers AQA 2.2.5. Useful comparison tables which can be supplied as handouts. Modelling extension activities suggested for kinaesthetic learners. Differentiated questions lifted from AQA book.

Tutorials outlining Haber process and explaining the choice of conditions. Worksheet provided for first tutorial. Also convenient as handouts if covering material at a fast pace.

Lesson slides for AQA 2.1.1 on chemical bonding. Planned for two single lessons (or a double) as iron sulfide preparation also included. Chase the Elements activity taken from TES contributor Squizzel (thanks very much for this excellent resource) and given alternative Mad Professor theme.Worksheet gives practice at completing electron shell diagrams. Hope useful.

Activities to practice keywords and scientific vocabulary for HSW (How Science Works). Memory cards of key terms very popular and pupils liked to develop their own games with this...easy - definition face-up, hard - keyword face up (print double sided and they come out correct). Crossword and wordsearch have same answers so crossword can be completed as a wordfit to support. Acrostic puzzle starter. Keyword posters taken from another TES member (many thanks) and updated to include new terminology e.g. reproducible. Blockbusters game of the keywords also included.

Series of animated slides on loop to encourage students to use speed=distance/time equation. Ideal for starter or plenary and animations (work in slideshow mode) really help engage students.

Worksheet with answer sheet to support AQA 2.3.8 Instrumental Analysis

This is a work in progress...I will update as I create the remaining units of C1, C2 and eventually add C3 (if the feedback is positive:)) It's something I designed for my students...not to have everything..but to have as much as possible put onto a single side of A4. Idea being if they knew what was on each single side they would get at the very least a C (and hopefully quite a bit more). A lot of the wording is also chosen based on answering common exam questions eg describing polymerisation, plate tectonics.

Lesson introducing electronic configuration and electron shell diagrams. Also relates outer electrons to groups in Periodic table. Now updated with paired electrons (better as a result!) thanks for feedback.

Scaffolded worksheets encourage students to consider how many covalent bonds an atom will form, depending upon its group number. Students then complete the electron shell diagrams on the worksheet for common molecules in the specification. A second worksheet develops the properties of simple molecules and finally a sequence of assessed questions allow students to reflect upon ionic versus covalent bonding and the resultant effect on the melting and boiling points of their structures. Accompanying Powerpoint presentation of electron shell diagrams and full answer sheets are supplied.
