Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.

A lesson introducing alcohols and their properties designed for the OCR AS chemistry specification. The lesson goes over how to classify alcohols as primary, secondary and tertiary, why alcohols are more soluble in water than alkanes and trends in boiling points. The presentation contains questions (and answers) for students to work through on slides, so no printing is needed.

A lesson on reactivity trends in the rate of hydrolysis of haloalkanes designed for the OCR AS chemistry specification. The lesson goes over impact of changing the halogen on the rate of hydrolysis and contains a practical for the students to investigate the rate of hydrolysis. The presentation contains questions for students to work through on slides, so no printing is needed.

A lesson covering haloalkanes and the ozone layer designed for the OCR AS chemistry specification. The lesson goes why the ozone layer is important, what CFCs are and their uses and the free radical reactions between CFCs and NO and ozone. The presentation contains questions (and answers) for students to work through on slides, so no printing is needed.

A lesson introducing alcohols and their properties designed for the OCR AS chemistry specification. The lesson goes over how to classify haloalkanes as primary, secondary and tertiary, what substitution and nucleophile mean and the mechanism for nucleophilic substitution (Sn2). The presentation contains questions (and answers) for students to work through on slides, so no printing is needed.

A lesson on condensation polymers designed for the new OCR A level spec. Includes what a condensation polymer is, what are polyesters and polyamides, how to draw polymers from monomers, how to draw monomers from polymers and the products of hydrolysis of polyesters and polyamides. Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.

A Powerpoint presentation covering properties of alkanes from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers bonding in alkanes, trends in boiling points and combustion of alkanes. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson on carboxylic acids designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. Lesson covers what a carboxylic acid is, how they are weak acids and how to name and draw the structures of simple carboxylic acids. Includes exam questions on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on alcohols designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. A lesson on alcohols – naming them, drawing their structures and how alcohols are made using fermentation. Includes exam questions on slides. No printing required.

A lesson on condensation polymers designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The Power Point covers how polyesters are formed, it compares condensation polymers with addition polymers and address problems with disposal of polymers.

A lesson on addition polymers designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. Lesson covers what an addition polymer is, examples of mononmers/polymers, drawing monomers/polymers and properties and uses of addition polymers. Includes exam questions and factsheets.

A lesson on transition metals designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers properties and uses of metals and transition metals.

Includes two Power Points on ions and ionic bonding. Could be used as two lessons or condensed into one depending on the ability of the group. Ions lesson covers: what is an ion, how ions are formed in terms of electrons, how to calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an ion. Ionic boding lesson covers: when do ionic bonds form, what is an ionic bond and dot and cross structures. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification but would work for other exam boards as well.

A lesson covering the properties of simple covalent compounds designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers the properties of covalent compounds, an explanation of why the compounds have these properties and a short practical. Slides also have exam questions for students to work through.

A lesson on alkanes designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what alkanes are naming alkanes and drawing alkanes. Exam questions are included on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on anion tests (sulfate, carbonate and halide) designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The Power Point covers how to carry out all 3 sets of tests. No printing required.

A lesson on equilibria and Haber designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson reviews the factors that impact equilibrium, discusses factors that impact the rate at which a reaction reaches equilibrium and applies this to the Haber Process. Contains an exam question for students to complete. No printing required.

A lesson on fertilisers designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what a fertiliser is, how they are made in the lab and how they are made in industry. Contains a suggested practical and exam questions for students to complete. Would need 2 lessons if students complete the practical.
