Welcome to Science Lesson Resources for Teachers and Parents!

 Here are the 29 chapters that the students shall cover in their IGCSE Chemistry course under the Edexcel exam board. This shall be covered in two years, during year 10 and year 11. Year 10 covers chapters 1 till 15. Year 11 - chapters 16 till 29. Download a printable pdf from my Google Drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OqXgUIDtHMwOPKWiIJePM2mO703_tQcK/view?usp=drive_link

    This is a useful set for learning chemistry. You may print the periodic table on one side, and the solubility table on another, and then laminate the sheet to protect it.     These tables are colorful and printer-friendly and will not waste ink. These versions are the best I could find. I hope you will find them useful.

 Do you know the three types of rock - igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary ? Let's now go deeper Sedimentary Rocks: Formation, Types, Examples – Geology In Igneous Rocks: Formation, Classification, Examples, Uses – Geology In

 Here is a fun, student-centered activity that may be used to start the chemistry lessons at the beginning of the year.  1. The students form groups of 2 to 4 students 2. Each group gets a mineral and its name from the teacher 💎 3. The teacher asks "What is the periodic table? How many elements are there?" "And where do we get the elements from? Where do we get the chemicals? - From the ground, for free - you just take it." "Each country has different minerals. What minerals do we have in our country?" 3. The students research about their mineral in groups for 5-10 minutes, using their personal devices, take notes.  They may mention: The mineral's name Chemical formula, what elements are in it The uses The price - is it expensive? Interesting facts 4. The groups volunteer to present.  While some students speak, another walk between the desks and show their mineral to the classmates. In this way everyone will see each mineral. 5. The students clap each...

 Here is an interesting science teaching blog, that shows real-life examples for each topic https://studiousguy.com/gay-lussacs-law-examples/

 See the list of all the compounds with each element in a form of the periodic table. For example, let's go for the compounds of chlorine. Do you know how many different compounds between iron and chlorine exist?  What about sulfur?  How many different compounds do chlorine and sulfur form? Follow the link, and answer the questions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinium(III)_chloride

 This useful website shows the electron configurations for all the elements in the periodic table . It can be used in group work activities when learning about the orbitals . https://www.webelements.com/carbon/atoms.html Here is a nice template to be filled by hand

 Here is a clear and comprehensive overview of all the main divisions of chemistry with clear diagrams and intuitive explanations.

 1. Introduction The teacher introduces the new topic with  intrigue , tells that chromatography is used in pharmacy and industry, and that the previous exams had many questions on this topic.  The students write down in their notebooks the topic and sketch the lesson summary diagram. The teacher introduces the two objectives of the lesson. 2. Sticky notes - brainstorming - Aha Slides The students show their previous knowledge and creativity . Each student contributes 3 words to the word cloud. 3. Virtual experiment - can be done in the lab also The students do the experiment first and then interpret the results, before learning the theory. This constructivist approach allows the student to think for themselves.  - Recap about why plants are green - See the experiment video for 30 second - Try it yourself This experiment uses the  I do - We do - You do approach. 4. Sample exam question The students together solve two questions about chromatography from the pr...

Why do waterfalls form?  Usually, the reason is not soft bedrock. The big river washes away sediments than its at tributary streams. This creates a difference in the elevation needed for a waterfall. Waterfalls Clearly Explained

  General Chemistry Online: FAQ: History of chemistry: Why is atomic number called "Z"? Why is mass number called "A"? Z symbol for atomic number probably comes from  German   " Zahl " (number). A - Atomic number" in German is " Atomzahl "

 Why the electron shells are called KLM not ABC? Orbital: px, py, pz - 2 electrons each Subshell: s1, p3, d5, f7 Shell: K s, L sp, M spd, N spdf  Here is a nice article explaining this. General Chemistry Online: FAQ: Electrons in atoms: Why are the shells named K, L, M, ... instead of A, B, C...?
