An A-Level Chemistry resource on the mechanisms of organic compounds. The worksheet requires students to write the mechanisms for the free radical substitution reaction of alkanes with chlorine, electrophillic addition of alkenes with bromine, hydrogen bromide (include markovnikovs rule and the inductive effect). The worksheet also requires students to draw mechanisms for the reactions of halogenoalkanes with hydroxide ions (nucleophilic substution/elimination) and with cyanide ions and ammonia. Answers to every question is provided with every mechanism drawn on the answer sheet. Suitable for the new 2015 A-Level chemistry syllabus. Is an excellent revision resource for organic chemistry.

An A-Level Chemistry worksheet on amino acids. Contains seven sections of questions increasing in difficulty. Covers the whole topic of amino acids including IUPAC naming, zwitterions, melting point, reactions with acid, hydroxide, carbonate, halogenoalkane, acyl (acid) chloride etc. Also includes questions on peptides, hydrolysis, polypeptides and proteins. Answers are included. Is a resource which comprehensively covers the whole of the amino acid theory suitable for the new 2015 A-Level syllabuses.

A AQA GCSE knowledge organiser on the topic Chemical analysis. Includes information on pure substances, formulations, chromatography, testing for gases, positive and negative ions and flame emission spectroscopy. Suitable for the new 2016 syllabus.

The whole of GCSE triple science organic chemistry on one A3 page. This is a knowledge organiser covering crude oil, fractional distillation, alkenes, fuels, alcohols, carboxylic acids, manufacture of ethanol, natural polymers, condensation polymers, nucleotides and DNA. A word file set up to print in A3 and covers everthing that the triple Science Chemistry students need to know for the new GCSE AQA 2016 Chemistry syllabus.

Two activities to go with the GCSE Chemistry required practical “Making a soluble salt”. The first is a hexagon challenge activity in which students have to make connections between the apparatus used and method. Is an activity that promotes stretch and challenge. The second is a cut and stick which requires students to correctly label the apparatus in the correct order.

An Alevel Chemistry resource on calculating very low concentrations of solutions. The worksheet includes questions (and also worked examples which help the students complete the worksheet). Questions on calculating concentration in ppm (parts per million), mass of ions, avagodro’s constant, number of ions etc.) Answers are included.

A knowledge organiser on the AQA GCSE topic Chemical calculations. Includes information on the scientific terms: RAM, RFM, conservation of mass, mole, avagadro constant, excess & limiting reagents, titrations , formulae trianagles for all the calculations etc. Also contains more depth on the steps required in a titration, diagrams of flasks used and indicators etc. Also includes information about volume of gases, atom economy and percentage yield. Is everything the students need to know on one page before attempting the calculations. Can be expanded onto an A3 page. Relevant for the new 2018 exams.

A cut and stick activity on the GCSE Chemistry topic Paper Chromatography. Students label the chromatogram using the relevant keywords.

A knowledge organiser on inorganic qualitiative tests including cation flame tests, tests for the magnesium and ammonium cations, the sulfate and carbonate anions, halides tests (silver nitrate, displacement and reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid.) The knowledge organiser also includes relevant ionic equations where applicable.

An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on groups 2 and 7 of the periodic table. Includes information on electronegativity, melting and boiling points, trends in oxidising ability, displacement reactions, reactions of halide ions, uses of chlorine etc. Also contains information from group 2 on physical and chemical properties, reactions, solubilities of sulfates and hydroxides, ionisiation energies etc. Relevant for the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry syllabus.

A knowledge organiser on the A-Level Chemistry Topic 4: Groups 2 and 7 Chemistry. Including the chemistry and equations they need to know (reactions of group 2 with oxygen, water, acid etc, thermal decomposition of the group 1 & 2 carbonates/nitrates, halogen chemistry including trends, disproportion reactions in hot & cold alkali, reducing agents with reactions of sulfuric acid, oxidising agents (displacement reactions) etc. Also includes information on the qualitative tests of halides, sulfates, carbonates and also flame testing of cations and identification of the ammonium ion. A comprehensive revision organiser that the students can use to make their revision notes from. Relevant for the new 2015 A-Level Edexcel syllabus.

An A-Level Chemistry resource on redox calculations. Students have to work out oxidation numbers, then write redox half equations and combine them to get an overall ionic equation. Then they have to identify the oxidising/reducing agents. Answers are included.

A Knowledge organiser on the AQA GCSE topic Paper chromatography. Contains all the information they need to know on the method, apparatus, mobile/stationary phases, calculating Rf values etc. includes examples of chromatograms. The resource is editable and can be printed out on A3 paper for the students to revise from. Suitable for the new 2018 GCSE.

A traffic light quiz on paper chromatography, students hold up the relevant coloured card to answer the questions in the quiz. Suitable for the new 2018 Chemistry GCSE. I use it as a plenary at the end of the lesson.
