For each of the questions, the students are given a w

If (like me) you get to the end of the year/ term and want something fun to do with your homeroom or tutor group this quiz is for you! I love Kahoot's as much as the next person but this is a great alternative if you want to be able to spend a little more time and use a little less technology. This quiz is set out like a pub quiz with 10 rounds of 5 questions each. The rounds are: Famous Faces (pictures of cartoon characters)Around the world (geography questions)Science (general science question

When I teach States of Matter one thing I always struggle to get across is the relationship between energy, temperature and change of state. I've designed this resource to try and help with that! It can be used in conjunction with any other teaching methods you use in the classroom and asks students to push themselves a little bit in their conceptual understanding! This download contains 4 documents which you can mix and match as it makes sense for your class. A quick summary of each is below (a

This resource is 3 different worksheets to practice working with force diagrams. They are perfect to use when teaching a forces unit to check for application of understanding. Each worksheet has an example and then 9 different questions/ force diagrams. The worksheets build in difficulty as follows: Calculating net force with 2 forcesCalculating net force with multiple/ combined forcesCalculating net force and describing motionEach worksheet is complete with fun diagrams and varied scenarios and

This is a more advanced worksheet to look at the relationship between atomic structure and properties. It can be used as part of teaching next-generation MS-PS1-1 (USA), for many GCSE chemistry courses (UK) or within another high school programme. The worksheet starts by showing labelled ball and stick models for graphite, sodium chloride and diamond. There are then 5 questions about properties (e.g. melting point, hardness) and students have to match these to the correct extended structure(s).

This resource is awesome if you are struggling to cover synthetic materials effectively, or just looking for a new idea on how to address this topic! It is a case study of four different types of fabric (cotton, wool, polyester and nylon) with an explanation of the production and associated environmental/ societal impacts. The description of the production of synthetic fabrics includes a simple explanation of polymerization and the natural resources needed to make them. In terms of environmenta

This worksheet is great if you are looking to reinforce material about electromagnets, look at the strength of electromagnets from a data/ experimental angle or imply cover MS-PS2-3 in a different way. Please check the preview! The worksheet covers an easy experiment where the number of coils in an electromagnet is increased and the number of paper clips attached to the electromagnet is counted. On page 1 the method is introduced and on page 2 a results table can be analysed using graphs. An an

This worksheet contains 22 questions in a table arrangement of either: - working out the chemical formula from the compound name (i.e. formula for potassium hydroxide) - naming the compound based on its formula (i.e. name KOH) All of the examples in worksheet are compounds of polyatomic ions (carbonate, nitrate, hydroxide, sulphate and phosphate) On the second half of the worksheet is a word game to make words using the letters from two compounds (just for fun/ for the fast workers!) Answers are

This worksheet contains 22 questions in a table arrangement of either: - working out the chemical formula from the compound name (i.e. formula for potassium iodide) - naming the compound based on its formula (i.e. name KI) All of the examples in worksheet are simple ionic compounds, there are no polyatomic ions. On the second half of the worksheet is a word search to find some of the names of the compounds (just for fun/ for the fast workers!) Answers are included, including the word search.

This resource is perfect for teaching GCSE Chemistry or when covering balancing equations in MS-PS1 if you use NGSS. It is the second in a series and it also part of a bundle. It is simply 10 questions which allow students to practice writing balanced symbol equations from word equations. Answer sheets are included in the download so that there is no extra hassle for you! This is purely practice and perfect as extra classwork or homework so you can check their application before you move on to a

This is the perfect activity for any unit where you are teaching chemical reactions. E.g. KS3 in the UK, MS-PS1-2 if you use NGSS or at any middle school level. In the worksheet students are given three chemical reactions to read about: Zinc and hydrochloric acid/ hydrogen chlorideCombustion of iron woolLead nitrate and Potassium Iodide (a very cool precipitation reaction)They need to work through different activities including: Matching reaction descriptions to "before" diagramsDrawing the "

This is another clean and easy to use template for a differentiated lesson/ block of lessons looking into investigating diffusion.

Each template has a list of words that can be used to help guide the studentsA suggested set of answers to help students see the level of detail and scientific (but approachabl

This worksheet is all about investigating endothermic and exothermic reactions. NGSS teachers: This is a great activity to do after introducing endothermic and exothermic reactions and before you start the design process when covering MS-PS1-6. It introduces a lot of the ideas they need to be successful.Non-NGSS teachers: This is still a great activity if you want to check understanding and application of key ideas as part of any chemical reactions unit! It's especially great if you are limited

This is a great worksheet to reinforce the principle of conservation of mass. It works well in middle school/ KS3 when teaching the concept for the first time or as a great reminder in high school/GCSEs as revision. It can easily be used after a lab or demo to show the principle in action. The activity follows the precipitation reaction between copper (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide and is split into 2 parts: Part 1:This looks at the experimental method used, asking questions about how the exp

This is a poster that visually looks at several methods of thinking about formula for ionic compounds. It outlines: - Crossover/ swap and drop method - Balancing charges - Hand holding/ branches - Lego - A easy to use table so that students get to grips with valency Great to stick up when teaching this topic as a visual reminder to your students. It can also be printed smaller and kept as part of their notes!
