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.

A lesson covering reacting mass calculations (using moles) with a 1:1 ratio, reacting masses with a 2:1 ratio (hasn’t normally come up but was on the Year 10 paper), what is a limiting reagent and calculating the limiting reagent from grams. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec and contains higher only content. Contains exam questions on the slides or as a worksheet in a word document, so you can decide whether or not to print out the main task. All of the lesson can be done without printing.

A lesson on what a mole is, how to convert between moles and particles and how to calculate moles from masses (and vice versa). This lesson is higher only content. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson on cracking designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. The lesson covers what cracking is, why cracking is needed and the products of cracking. There are exam questions on the slides for students to complete. This presentation is for the combined science course and does not include detail from the separate sciences specification.

A lesson that covers trends in the first ionisation energy. It covers trends in first ionisation energy down a group and across a period. It also discusses trends and links to electronic configuration and sub-shells. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A lesson that covers successive ionisation energies. It covers the meaning of first ionisation energy, factors that influence the ionisation energy of an element and periodic trends in successive ionisation energies. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

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.

Resources includes 2 presentations on measuring enthalpy changes (using the Q=mcdT equation). It covers the equation, its units, applying it to different reactions and uncertainty and experimental design questions. No printing required. Designed for the OCR A level specification.

A lesson on Group 1 - The Alkali Metals. It covers the physical properties of the alkali metals, their reaction with water ( can be done as a demo or by showing a video) and an explanation of the trend in reactivity down the group. Questions and answers are on the slides – no printing required. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE chemistry specification.

A lesson introducing ions. It covers the meanings of ion, cation and anion. It explains why atoms form ions and how to draw dot and cross diagrams for ions and ionic compounds. Questions and answers are on the slides – no printing required. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE chemistry specification.

A lesson on ionic compounds and lattices (ions and dot and cross diagrams are covered in my lesson on ions). This lesson goes through when ionic bonds form, what an ionic lattice is and how to write the formulae for ionic compounds. Questions and answers are on the slides – no printing required. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE chemistry specification.

A lesson on nanoparticles. It covers the size of them, surface to volume calculations and uses and dangers of nanoparticles. A worksheet for students to complete (and answers) is included. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE specification.

A lesson on calculating amount of substance. It covers what the numbers mean in a balanced equation and how to calculate the amount of substance. Includes a worksheet (with answers) and slides for foundation and higher tier. Designed for the AQA GCSE 9-1 specification.

A lesson that covers how to calculate the relative formula mass. It goes through simple compounds, how to work out the number of atoms in a molecule and how to calculate formula for larger compounds. A worksheet (with answers is included). Designed for the GCSE 9-1 AQA Specification.

A lesson on endothermic and exothermic reactions. It covers what the terms mean and a practical on dissolving salts in water and measuring the temperature change. All questions and answers on the slides – no printing required. Designed for the 9-1 GCSE AQA specification.

A lesson on endothermic and exothermic reactions. It covers what the terms mean, how hand warmers work and drawing energy profile diagrams for exothermic and endothermic reactions. Includes a worksheet. Designed for the 9-1 GCSE AQA specification.

A collection of starters ( with answers) covering part of Module 2 in OCR A Level Chemistry. Lessons included are: Atomic Structure Relative Atomic Mass Ions and Periodic Table Electron Shells and Orbitals Electronic Configuration Ionic Bonding Properties of Ionic Compounds Covalent Bonding Shapes of Molecules Electronegativity and Polarity Intermolecular Forces Hydrogen Bonding

A lesson on combustion. It covers the products of complete and incomplete combustion, the problems these products cause and how to balance combustion equations. Questions and answers are included in the slides – no need to print. Designed for the 9-1 GCSE specification.

A lesson on the Earth’s early atmosphere. It covers how the Earth’s early atmosphere how it changed over time. A storyboard activity and an exam question slide are include. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE specification.

A lesson on cracking. It covers the cracking process, why cracking is needed and the bromine water test for alkenes. Questions and answers provided on slides – no need to print. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE specification.
