Hello, I hope you find my lessons covering the iGCSE CIE Cambridge 0653 Combined Sciences course helpful. I have noticed my lessons do not show much preview ( just first and last page) so please contact me if you wish to see more slides from any of the presentations.

Characteristics of Living Organisms made for the
Cambridge iGCSE Combined Science CIE 0653 curriculum
Includes a powerpoint with definations of 7 characteristics of living organisms
A slide at the end of the presentation that lists extra online resources
A homework page ( 5 questions - one former past paper question) with answers
A worksheet in case extension is required.
The complete ‘apparatus list’ as per 0653 Combined Science CIE syllabus. Complete with extra resources and a homework question sheet it’s a great starter to the ‘Experimental Techniques’ C2 section of the course.
The next lesson in the iGCSE Cambridge Combined Science series Experimental Techniques this lesson includes slides on paper chromatography (describing technique and how to calculate RF factor) along with a homework sheet and list of online resources
This lesson covers an introduction to atomic theory. In includes a Power Point lesson covered the topics outline below. It also includes a revision or homework page (with answer sheet). A ‘Hot Seat Quiz’ that includes the key terms covered in the lesson and a printable of the key figures in Atomic Theory.
The Power Point lesson covers the key terms:
• Atomic theory
• Atoms
• Atomic structure
• Protons
• Neutrons
• Electrons
• Atomic Mass Unit
This is followed by a section covering describing atoms:
• Electron configuration
• Mass Number (Nucleon number)
• Atomic number (proton number)
The last section covers briefly
• Isotopes
• Relative Mass Unit
• Relative Formula Mass
This lesson cover the section C3 of the iGCSE unit 0653 combined science (some sections regarding the periodic table will be included in a separate section).
C3. Atoms, elements and compounds
3.3 Atomic structure and the Periodic Table
1 Describe the structure of an atom in terms of electrons and a nucleus containing protons and neutrons.
2 Describe the build-up of electrons in ‘shells’ and understand the significance of the noble gas electronic structures and of valency electrons (reference to noble gases not included - this will be in periodic table lesson)
3 State the relative charges and approximate relative masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
4 Define atomic (proton) number and mass (nucleon) number.
5 Use proton number and the simple structure of atoms to explain the basis of the Periodic Table (see section C9), with special reference to the elements with proton numbers 1 to 20. (not yet included in this section)
This lesson covers the following topics 1. Elements 2. Molecules 3.Compounds 4. Mixtures. 5. Physical and chemical properties and 6. Physical changes and Chemical changes
CIE combined Science 0653 C3 Atoms Elements and Compounds.
The lesson includes a Power Point presentation including all the topics outlined above plus a quiz on physical and chemical changes
There is a lab lesson on compounds and mixtures (classic iron fillings and sulphur experiment) with word doc for students and teacher to follow.
The lesson also contains a separate homework exercise (word document)
Covers section first 2 specifications of C3 on the CIE 0653 GCSE Combined Science Course

In addition, this lesson is combined with the Atomic Theory Timeline. This is not on the IGCSE syllabus however it is a great topic for class research, a mini homework assignment, it can make a nice addition to the course, an introduction to the idea of scientific models or just as an introduction to the periodic table or atomic theory.
This separate PowerPoint contains a lot of detail; thus this Atomic Theory Timeline resource is not really intended to be delivered in the presentation format as like my other lessons. The PowerPoint covers how a theory may change as new evidence is found. How a scientific explanation is conditional but may become more convincing when predictions based on the model or theory are confirmed later on by further ideas/scientific data. It is a good introduction to the concept of models, a brief overview of atoms, a printable of the atomic theory timeline and slides on the models proposed by various key figures in the atomic theory timeline.

This extra lesson is not explicitly covered by the Cambridge iGCSE syllabus but it makes a nice addition to the course, as project work, an introduction to the idea of scientific models or just as an introduction to the periodic table or atomic theory.
