A series of two lessons prepared for the AQA GCSE ion testing, but could be modified for other exam boards. Includes PowerPoints to lead the students through investigating the colours of the different ions

A series of three lessons prepared for the AQA GCSE C3.3 unit of work about energetics, including Q=mcT, how to calculate the energy change from bonds broken and bonds made and how to draw enthalpy level diagrams for reactions. Includes PowerPoints, lesson plans, practicals, activities, worksheets and exam questions to accompany the topic.

A series of three lessons prepared for the AQA GCSE C3.2 unit of work about hard and soft water, the process of water softening and the purification of water. Includes PowerPoints, lesson plans, practicals, activities, worksheets, exam questions and videos to accompany the topic.

2 lessons developed for the iGCSE AQA C3.1 unit of work on the Periodic table and its trends. Includes PowerPoints, lesson plans, practicals, activities, worksheets, exam questions and videos to accompany the topic.

These sheets ask questions which when answered summarise all of the Chemistry topics covered on the iGCSE Coordinated course, with one sheet per topic. They can be used one at a time, at the end of a topic, or at the end of the year as a revision resource Obviously they don´t go into as much detail as past paper questions but they do provide a basic summary of questions that students must know the answers to in each topic

This lesson was planned as a stand alone investigation lesson for KS3, designed to allow students to work on their practical skills. When observed it got an ´Outstanding´ (for what it is worth), and I have attached the lesson plan. It involves a ´poisoning´ scenario where students are asked to identify an unknown powder used to poison someone. Students are asked to choose the equipment that they will use, test some named powders and use this to identify the unknown powder. They are then asked to write a letter to a detective (using a level ladder as a guide) explaining how they identified a poison. They should then peer assess against the level ladder.

This booklet and accompanying PowerPoints covers the Moles topic for iGCSE Coordinated Science. It would also be useful for other courses, as it covers all of the topics in the list below. The booklet is designed to be interactive and to be filled in by the students, accompanied by the PowerPoints. It includes spaces for worked calculations, exercises, past paper questions (taken from the Cambridge iGCSE papers) and a practical. The answers to the exercises are also shown on the PowerPoints. What exactly is a mole? How can we convert between masses and moles? How do we deal with diatomic molecules? Converting between mass and moles in compounds Calculating the % by mass of an element in a compound Balancing Equations Reacting Masses Limiting Reagents Moles in Gases Moles in Solutions Titrations Practical – What is the concentration of sodium hydroxide? I also have another scheme of work where this booklet has been altered slightly for the iGCSE Triple Chemistry moles unit.

This booklet and accompanying PowerPoints covers the Moles topic for iGCSE Chemistry. It would also be useful for other courses, as it covers all of the topics in the list below. The booklet is designed to be interactive and to be filled in by the students, accompanied by the PowerPoints. It includes spaces for worked calculations, exercises, past paper questions (taken from the Cambridge iGCSE papers) and two practicals. The answers to the exercises are also provided for the workbook and are shown on the PowerPoints. What exactly is a mole? How can we convert between masses and moles? How do we deal with diatomic molecules? Converting between mass and moles in compounds Calculating the % by mass of an element in a compound Balancing Equations Reacting Masses Limiting Reagents Percentage Yield Practical - How much copper sulphate can we get from malachite? Percentage Purity Empirical Formula Moles in Gases Moles in Solutions Titrations Practical – What is the concentration of sodium hydroxide? I also have another scheme of work where this booklet has been altered slightly for the Co-ordinated Science Chemistry moles unit.
