A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5c of the OCR specification - testing for functional groups and PAG7.3 The lesson starts with reminders of the tests for the main functional groups in the OCR specification. Each one is set out with the same structure- first giving an opportunity for recall before revealing the answer. The lesson then introduces PAG7.3 (you will need to download the full details off the OCR interchange). After the practical there are a series of activities allowing students to apply what they have learned about the tests. These can be done individually or as a class. I am to actively reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PowerPoint (29 slides in total)

A complete lesson covering section 5.2.1 c and d of the OCR Chemistry specification- enthalpies of solution. The lesson starts by covering the difference between the first and subsequent electron affinities. It then moves to showing how lattice enthalpies can be used to support calculating enthalpies of solution. It shows his these values can be calculated using practical means as well as theoretically. It closes by looking at the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions. The lesson follows the explicit instruction model with opportunities for I do, we do and you do All answers are provided. I aim to reduce photocopying so all activities are within the PPT (35 slides in total)

The lesson includes a variety of retrieval practice activities and exam questions. All slides animated- in some cases click the boxes to reveal the answer. The lesson includes: Properties of subatomic particles Atomic structure History of the atom uses of mass and proton numbers calculating relative atomic masses Electron configuration All answers included and all resources within the PowerPoint

This is a full lesson covering section 4.2.2a and of the OCR A level chemistry specification. It covers synthetic routes and provides students with a summary diagram of all the reactions studied so far in the course. It also introduces analysing compounds with multiple functional groups as well as how reactions can be used to convert one functional group to another in multi-step procedures This is the third of a series of lessons covering section 4.2.2a and PAG5 The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student activities and a fully differentiated summary at the end . All answers included Edited 21/03 to add extra exam question Please see my shop for further resources

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.3 a-c of the OCR Chemistry specification- condensation polymerisation to form polyesters and polyamides. The lesson starts by recapping addition polymerisation for year 12. It then introduces condensation polymers. The lesson then goes through the formation of polyamides and polyesters using either one monomer or two. The lesson includes multiple opportunities for students to independently practice. The lesson then covers the hydrolysis of polymers to return to the original monomers. The final part of the lesson is practice at working out the original monomer using a digram of the original polymer. The lesson includes lots of independent tasks I aim to reduce photocopying so all activities and answers are in the PowerPoint- a total of 42 slides

A complete lesson covering section 5.2.3 a- e of the OCR Chemistry specification - redox reactions and carrying out redox titrations. The lesson opens with a reminder of oxidation numbers from year 12. It then looks at reducing and oxidising agents using an example to reinforce the idea. The lesson then moves onto how half equations can be used to construct overall equations for reactions, again with students led practice. It then looks at using oxidation numbers to complete equations, including when some species are missing from the equation (such as water) . The final part of the lesson looks at redox titrations including both how to carry them out as well as various examples of calculation including calculating purity and using it to work out water of crystalisation. The lesson includes worked examples and student independent practice. I aim to reduce copying so all activities are within the PowerPoint- 36 slides in total
