Designed to match the new AQA specification. Delivered to Year 9 students. Introduces group 1 (alkali) metals and their reactions. Works well with a demo / controlled practical. Animated presentation to explain how outer electron relates to reactivity of the metals. Questions and model answers to lead students through equations and understanding reactions. Quick thinking task about the storage of metals. Ends with alternative plenaries, either content check or past paper question.

Delivered to my year 11's. Can be altered to suit high or low ability. This lesson clearly outlines the structure of metallic bonding and allows the students to explore the link between electrons, bonding and properties (melting point, ductile etc). Resources included allow the students to justify the use of certain metals for different uses in day to day life as well as in industry. Exam style practice question for plenary.

Delivered to KS4 class but can be altered for any ability. Discusses different ways of preventing heat loss. Leads students through researching different ways to reduce heat loss and enables comparisons. Practice style question and answer for writing about conduction.

This lesson was designed to be delivered to KS4 top set but can easily be tailored for lower sets. Initially goes into a description of radiation and introduces Geiger counters. Then goes on to discuss the 3 radiation types (alpha, beta and gamma). QR codes linking to pages for research projects, differentiated for difficulty. Examples of everyday uses for each radiation type. Plenary is exam style questions.

Designed to be delivered to both KS3 and KS4. Gives introduction to Chromatography with Q codes to enable research. Soham murders used as context for real life use of analysis. Animation of TLC to allow visual learners to see how chromatography works. Worked examples of Rf values Questions for activity to ensure understanding and retention Plenary is exam style questions with answers.

This lesson was designed to deliver to KS4 but can be altered for lower levels if required, had greatly assisted my lower levels to understand and access this topic. Also a useful tie in for the physics topic on ‘radiation’. Preview in PDF Goes through the history of the atom from Ancient Greece, John Dalton, JJ Thomson and finally the Rutherford experiment. Animation shows the different paths the alpha particles took and enables the students to visualise how the different paths helped to explain the nuclear model and disprove the plum pudding. Plenary is exam style questions with answers provided.

An animated PowerPoint (last slide requires animation). Used for learners with a range of abilities. Covers 4 areas of malnutrition: Anorexia Anaemia Obesity Kwashiorkor Requires students to research and compare but also designed for teacher leading if preferred.

Introduces transverse and longitudinal waves with examples. Describes structure of waves and assists with labelling diagrams. I've included differentiated worksheets and alternative homework. Originally delivered to top set year 8 but easily altered for different ability groups. This lesson lends itself well to using a slinky.

This is designed for Year 7 but can be altered for any year group / ability. Covers an introduction to magnets, the main magnetic metals and leads the students through discovering and drawing magnetic fields. Creative task to help students practise literacy and justification skills

This is tailored to the New AQA Spec (exam 2018) 2 lessons (Delivered in 2 separate hours, easily combined for double), based around student lead learning (text book assisted) Covers structure of the heart with labelled diagrams Discusses the flow of blood around the body Explains the need for blood Exam style questions for assessment of topic Please leave a review. Really helps

Leads the students through the development of the periodic table from Newland's to Mendeleev's. Links to YouTube video that explains Mendeleev's discovery. Differentiated questions to help students understanding. Final task introduces the students to trends and helps them to see first hand how the table is used.
