Update: Now contains links to hazcards for students to suggest safety. This 9-1 individually graded Chemistry resource is for use with KS4 students. It asks questions using the working scientifically criteria and Maths from the specification. These 9-1 graded exam style questions come with model answers are adapted from AQA past papers. It includes Neutralisation, Rates of Reaction (Two: Thiosulfate and Magnesium), Identifying Ions, Temperature Change, Electrolysis, Chromatography, Making Salts and Water Purification. It covers Working Scientifically (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6 and 2.7). It is normally used post practical to test/check students understanding, or to assess student’s levels. It can also be used in conjunction with the practical, as a revision or homework activity. It can be used with all abilities and comes with a help sheet (worth £1) and answers. It also includes questions with the following terms: Accuracy, calibration, error, anomalies, random error, systematic error, zero error, evidence, fair test, hypothesis, precision, prediction, repeatable, reproducible, resolution,sketch graph, true value, validity, valid conclusion, variables, control, dependent, independent, risk, hazard and control.

This resource explains how to write the electronic configuration of the first 36 elements in terms of their shells, sub shell and orbitals. It covers the AQA syllabus, but can be used with others. It contains a 30+ page Power Point which explains how electrons fill up the lowest energy levels first, how electrons prefer to stay unpaired and the rather tricky transition metal 4s/3d energy levels. It explains how to write the configuration for neutral atoms as well as ions and contains a page of questions, based around exam questions from AQA. Questions have comments from the examiners report to say how difficult students in the exam found this type of question. It also contains: Periodic Table with all configurations Student sheet with diagrams on for students to add notes to (or cut out and stick in diagrams) Help sheet to practice configuration Question sheet with answers provided on the Power Point Homework/Extra Questions sheet to challenge the most able An animated slide that shows all 36 configurations on an energy level diagram and position on the Periodic table.

Update: I have improved the graphics on this since it was made a few years ago. This powerpoint is aimed at KS4 (and higher ability KS3) and helps students to understand what is happening to the ions in solution. It shows sodium ions and chloride ions moving to the electrodes, gaining and losing electrons to become atoms and explaining reduction and oxidation.

This resource is a booklet with lists of misconceptions, strategies for overcoming them, and quizzes for ascertaining main misconceptions in Forces, Electricity etc. Update: Want to test how many Christmas misconceptions your students have? Try this new free quiz here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/christmas-quiz-free-misconceptions-12448241 It is research based, but written in a practical way and focuses on the use of models, analogies, CASE, interviewing and other strategies. The most useful part I believe is the lists of misconceptions and a comprehensive index of keywords to help you find the common misconception for that topic/keyword. Thank you for making it is one of my most downloaded resources.

This is a resource which uses the new up to date Hazard Symbols. Each sheet has the name of each hazard symbol, the symbol itself, a description of the Hazard, an example of which chemical has that hazard and an image to help them remember. This will help with Lab safety. This is part of a full lesson where students are taught how to use hazard symbols and hazcards to plan a safe practical: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/planning-safe-practicals-using-hazcards-12407118 Please feel free to visit my shop which contains more free (and paid) resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.

This resource contains a 30+ page Power Point (and pdf ) to guide students through the new Hazard symbols, their names, hazards and controls (precautions) that are needed in each case. Students have three tasks, a sorting activity, a memory activity and a longer activity which aims for them to think about the hazards, risks and more importantly the controls that need to be put into place to perform the practical safely. The activity contains: Four “fake” chemical Hazcard sheets Four Scenarios to challenge their thinking Posters of the new Hazard symbols with information on each Miniplenary to test knowledge gained. The free poster of the new hazard symbols can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-hazard-symbols-meanings-with-examples-for-lab-safety-12266717 Please check out my shop for more free (and paid) resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you

This resource is a complete CPD for staff in science departments. It has everything you need, so that the staff are able to plan effective misconception lessons.

This a Chemistry resource aimed at KS4 (and upper KS3) with 6 different concept maps for students to complete. It includes 1. Atoms, Elements, 2.Development of the Atom, 3. Development of Periodic Table and 4. Groups 7 and 0, 5. Group 1 and Transition Metals and 6. Mass, size and Electronic Structure. Check out a free one (Development of the Atom) to try before you consider buying the full resource at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/development-of-a-model-of-the-atom-concept-mapping-worksheet-12191441 It gives students incomplete concept maps for them to complete and complete ones to check against. The complete ones have images to aid memory. It is based on AQA but can be used by other boards. It can be used in 1 lesson, but is better over a series of revision lessons, given as a graphic organiser, homework or as a plenary. The resource contains sheets for more or less able and answer sheets for students to peer or self assess.
