A collection of 6 revision mats for Unit 1 Chemistry. Designed for Pearson’s BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Applied Science. Each mat is the size of one slide and can be printed to students to fill in. The revision mats cover: Electrons and Periodic Table Ionic and Metallic Bonding Covalent Bonding and Intermolecular Forces Periodic Trends Reactivity and Redox Calculations

A lesson that covers what a limiting reagent is, how to find the limiting reagent from masses (this is also found in the combined science specification), how to find the limiting reagent from the volume and concentration of solutions (separate chemistry) and how to find the limiting reagent from gas volumes (separate chemistry). This lesson is designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification, separate chemistry and covers higher only content.

A lesson on materials for the Edexcel 9-1 separate sciences specification. Covers the properties of different materials (ceramics, composites, glass) and asks students to choose the best material for a given use from data provided. Includes exam questions or exam-style questions on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on rates and the Boltzmann Distribution for the new OCR A level specification. The lesson reviews the factors that impact a rate of reaction (concentration, temperature, pressure, surface area) and then goes over how to draw Boltzmann distributions for different conditions (e.g. different temperatures). All questions are on the slide so no printing required.

A lesson on reacting oxidation and reduction. Designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Lesson covers assigning oxidation states, the meaning of oxidation and reduction and how to identify what has been oxidised or reduced in a reaction. Includes questions for students to complete on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on mass spectrometry designed for OCR A level. Lesson includes what a M+ peak is, how to calculate the empirical formula using a M+ peak and percentage composition, fragmentation patterns and exam questions on identifying alcohols and alkanes from a mass spectrum. Includes a handout of the mass spectra used in the lesson to print for students so they can annotate.

A lesson on alloys designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what an alloy is, why alloys are stronger than pure metals and the properties and uses of alloys. Contains factsheets and a table for students to fill in and exam questions to complete.

A lesson that covers Kc for the new OCR A level specification. The lesson goes over how to write an equation for Kc from a balanced equation, how to calculate Kc from equilibrium concentration, units for Kc, how to calculate Kc from starting concentration and how Kc tells you which side the equilibrium lies. Questions and answers on slides – no printing required.

A lesson on intermolecular forces. A Year 12 BTEC lesson designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Lesson covers electronegativity, bond polarity, dipoles and types of intermolecular forces. Includes questions for students to do on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on nanoparticles for Edexcel 9-1 separate sciences. Covers what a nanoparticle is, uses of them and how to compare sizes of particles and how to calculate the surface to volume ratio of a nanoparticle. Includes tasks and exam questions on slides for students. No printing required.

A lesson on aldehydes and ketones designed for the new OCR A level spec. Includes a review of naming aldehydes and ketones, why C=O undergoes nucleophilic addition, mechanism for the reaction and reactions of carbonyls with NaBH4 and CN. Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.

A lesson on the reactivity of metals. Designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Lesson reviews displacement, reactions of metals with water and acid (includes balancing equations) and periodic trends in reactivity. Includes questions for students to complete on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on periodic trends in electronegativity, bonding and melting points). A Year 12 BTEC lesson designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Includes questions for students to do on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on metallic bonding. A Year 12 BTEC lesson designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Lesson covers what a metallic bond is, an explanation of the properties of metals and factors that impact the strength of a metallic bond. Includes questions for students to do on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on oxidation, reduction and corrosion designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Lesson covers what is rusting, what iron needs to rust, how rusting can be prevented and the difference between rusting and corrosion. Lesson then defines oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen and asks students to apply that to some equations. Then the lesson goes on to cover the higher only content on oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons.

A lesson introducing enthalpy changes – it covers the difference between an endothermic and exothermic reaction, drawing energy profile diagrams, standard conditions and standard enthalpy of formation, neutralisation and combustion. Includes exam questions on the slides for students to work through. No printing needed.

A Power Point on The Noble Gases for GCSE Edexcel 9 -1 spec. Covers why they are unreactive, their physical properties and uses.

A lesson on ores and extracting metals for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. The lesson covers what is an ore and the different methods of extracting metals. A set of factsheets ( tailored to the Edexcel 9-1 spec) is included.

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 the electrolysis of copper sulfate and purification of copper. Covers the products of electrolysis of copper sulfate with copper and carbon electrodes, how to purify copper using electrolysis, and exam question and a practical on the electrolysis of copper sulfate (one part of the core practical). Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 combined science specification.
