Having taught in the UK and abroad, I've experienced teaching many different syllabi including SABIS, AQA, WJEC and Cambridge. I develop resources to help teachers model key concepts, provide practice for students and include answers to help students self-assess their work. Planning for a 27 lesson week can be stressful to say the least, so I hope you find my resources useful. Thank you for choosing my lesson/s, I hope they enrich your teaching practice and make your life easier.

This PowerPoint presentation is a versatile and detailed resource designed for secondary school students to learn about hydrocarbons. It provides foundational knowledge of crude oil, hydrocarbons, and alkanes, aligning perfectly with chemistry curriculum requirements.

The resource begins with clear learning objectives, such as describing the composition of crude oil, defining hydrocarbons and alkanes, and using the general formula for alkanes to create molecular and displayed formulas. Starter activities introduce key topics by prompting students to recall fundamental concepts like chemical symbols and the origins of crude oil.

Through engaging content, the presentation explains how crude oil forms over millions of years from ancient sea creatures and plants, emphasizing its non-renewable nature. Students learn that crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, defined as compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. The section on alkanes highlights their saturated nature due to single covalent bonds and provides a step-by-step explanation of their general formula,
𝐶𝑛𝐻2𝑛+2.

Interactive tasks include completing tables for alkane formulas, identifying patterns in molecular structure, and answering exam-style questions. The resource emphasizes the real-world relevance of hydrocarbons by linking them to everyday products like petrol and candle wax.

Available as a PowerPoint file (.pptx), this resource includes detailed explanations, practical exercises, and answers to aid both teaching and learning. It is an ideal choice for educators seeking a structured and comprehensive teaching tool on hydrocarbons.

GCSE Chemistry Crude Oil and Hydrocarbons Bundle: 5-Lesson Unit

This GCSE chemistry resource bundle provides a comprehensive overview of crude oil, hydrocarbons, and their significance in everyday life. Designed to align with GCSE chemistry curricula, it features five engaging lessons that cover the composition, properties, and uses of hydrocarbons, along with key industrial processes. This bundle is perfect for teaching or revising these vital topics. The bundle includes: * Crude Oil, Hydrocarbons, and Alkanes: Introduces the formation of crude oil, the structure and properties of hydrocarbons, and the classification of alkanes as saturated hydrocarbons. * Fractional Distillation, Fractions, and Uses of Fractions: Explains the fractional distillation process, how it separates crude oil into useful fractions, and the applications of these fractions in everyday life. * Properties of Hydrocarbons: Examines the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons, including boiling points, viscosity, and flammability, with links to their molecular structure. * Combustion of Hydrocarbons: Covers complete and incomplete combustion, the products formed, and the environmental implications of burning hydrocarbons. * Cracking Hydrocarbons: Explores the process of cracking, how it breaks down long-chain hydrocarbons into more useful smaller ones, and the importance of alkenes in the chemical industry. How to use: Each lesson includes starter activities, detailed explanations, diagrams, and exam-style questions to ensure students fully understand key concepts. Teachers can use this bundle for structured lessons or revision sessions. It provides a clear and engaging approach to learning about hydrocarbons, preparing students for exams while connecting classroom theory to real-world applications. Lesson 1 - Crude Oil, Hydrocarbons and Alkanes Lesson 2 - Fractional Distillation, Fractions and Uses of Fractions Lesson 3 - Properties of Hydrocarbons Lesson 4 - Combustion of Hydrocarbons Lesson 5 - Cracking Hydrocarbons
