Here’s a guided worksheet to help mid-lower ability students with calculating Rf values for the chromatography practical.
It can be a good idea to use this sheet whilst students are waiting for their results to develop during the practical or can be a stand alone worksheet.
Here’s a worksheet that can be used as an introduction or summary to the ‘Making Copper sulfate salts’ required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses.
The sheet includes sections on:
Background information on neutralisation reactions
Key definitions
Word equations for making salts
The method - including a list of key terms
Exam style questions
The resource also has QR codes that can be scanned to take students to useful webpages or videos that will help them with the sheet.
Here’s a worksheet that can be used as an introduction or summary to the Energy changes required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses.
The sheet covers:
Background informationn
Key terms
Energy level diagrams
The method
Exam style questions
The resource also has QR codes that can be scanned to take students to useful webpages or videos that will help them with the sheet.
Here’s a worksheet that can be used as an introduction or summary to the ‘Electrolysis ’ required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses. This is designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE but is also compatible with other courses.
The sheet includes sections on:
Background information on Electrolysis & Aqueous solutions.
Key definitions
Practice questions to identify products of aqueous solutions
The method - including a list of key terms
Exam style questions
The resource also has QR codes that can be scanned to take students to useful webpages or videos that will help them with the sheet.
Answers are also included.
The tests and results for identifying Cations (and later Anions) are one of the hardest topics for students to remember - partly because there are so many different results! I find that the more practice students get the better.
Here’s a resource that can be used when learning or revising the tests, symbols and results. There are three different worksheets included to help differentiate with your classes. I’ve also added in some extension questions based on previous exam questions from AQA. There’s an additional sheet with the correct tests to support teachers that may be teaching out of specialism.
Feedback is always appreciated!
Here’s a really useful summary resource that can be used to help students learn the tests for different ions and also the positive results of each test. I used this in my classroom to help prepare students for a 6-mark extended question on ion testing and it really helped them to remember the details of the more difficult tests.
This resource includes a foldable sheet with different tabs for each test and an inner, central, section for students to colour in the positive results of flame tests & precipitate tests. I’ve also added extension tasks that can be used to push higher attaining students. Answers are also included.
Feedback is always appreciated :)

This lesson would work well with my Chromatograpghy RP Method and Questions sheets!
Here’s a worksheet bundle that can be used before, during and after the ‘Paper Chromatography’ required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses.
Included in the bundle is a Method worksheet that contains:
A table for results
A checklist for equipment needed
AQA style method.
The worksheet includes sections on:
Background information on Chromatography
Key definitions
An equipment labelling activity
An extended Exam style question

The resource also has QR codes that can be scanned to take students to useful webpages or videos that will help them with the sheet.
Here’s a lesson that acts as a suitable introduction to titrations. The lesson covers:
Titration method
Equipment
End points
Indicators
Method for a practical
Follow up questions for the practical
The lesson is based around an RSC practical and provides several opportunities for think-pair-share work or targeted questioning.
