Big believer in the power of beautiful lesson plans to make learning easier. My resources cover the sciences and geography. My biochemistry degree and tuition work I do mean I create resources for a lot of courses as and when I need a resource-always feel free to comment and request something if you want something else or an adaptation. Oxford biochemistry graduate.

Two page set of notes in table format on intermolecular interactions, listing the forces, where they come from and how strong they are: London forces, permanent dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds. Also includes notes on which type of chemical has what forces. Page 2 explains how aldehydes and ketones and esters are hydrogen bond acceptors. Following the example of Chemguide, explains permanent dipole-dipole as more adding a bit of strength on top of London forces than making the molecule highly polar and hydrophilic like hydrogen bonding. Bold, eye-catching typography and careful design sets this lesson plan out.
Special bonus! This pack contains three sets of notes depending on what your course calls London forces/van der Waals forces/instantaneous-induced dipole forces, so if you teach multiple courses you’re always covered: Edexcel, OCR, AQA, Cambridge. I sell multiple SKUs of this set of three notes to advertise at teachers teaching different courses, but they contain the same content: all three files in the same pack.
In one bundle, a table of the most common reactions in inorganic chemistry, how to work out the formulas of ionic chemicals and a large poster of the most common ions in chemistry.
One-page sets of notes on some of the most important written questions in GCSE chemistry and biology.
In chemistry, covers rate of reaction, temperature, equilibrium, types of bonding (ionic, covalent, metallic) and conducting electricity. There’s also my one-page introduction to chemistry that tries to put on one page as many definitions as possible so students can use it to decode the course’s content if they’re having problems holding everything in their head.
The GCSE biology notes cover respiration, with aerobic, anaerobic and what happens when you exercise. There’s versions of the biology and chemistry notes for general use, and specific versions of the chemistry notes for AQA and Edexcel iGCSE.
