GCSE Chemistry 'Big Ideas' Part 1 - Structure, Bonding and the Properties of Substances AQA, OCR, Edexcel

6 Resources
‘Big ideas’ in chemistry is about identifying and systematically teaching the overarching principles and crucial concepts your students need to become outstanding chemists. Many resources and books are produced with a single exam specification in mind which can leave your students with better knowledge in some areas than others and can make changing exam boards more difficult due to costs of resourcing. Liberate yourself from the exam specification and teach this amazing subject holistically ensuring your students have the detailed knowledge they need to gain confident mastery and an ability to apply their knowledge in unfamiliar scenarios. ‘Big ideas’ enables easier transfer between exam boards for students and teachers (especially non-specialists), and ‘connections’ enables you to place your own emphasis during teaching on concepts important to the actual exams your students will be sitting.

(1)
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.1.12 Acids and Bases - Three lesson / revision workbooks and notes with answers covering the whole unit. These workbooks cover a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell note taking so the books can be used while you teach and students can add their own notes and ideas down the margin. Colour is used consistently for the different types of sections to make the booklet more dyslexia friendly as I have found that chemistry notes and questions can often be very dense, and somewhat inaccessible for all students but especially those who have dyslexia. The booklets can also be produced as a revision guide for the topic and contains all the notes and practice past paper questions you need to revise along with worked examples. Parent and student friendly also. These three work books are provided in word and pdf.
