New AQA A-level Chemistry foldable FLASH CARDS of definitions for ALL year 1 and AS topics

(0)
Support your students to learn the definitions they need for all the year 1 and AS topics in the new specification A-level chemistry! Each word document contains definitions that can be cut, individually folded over and used to revise or learn the accepted AQA definitions of key words and concepts for every topic. Students should print the sheets in A3 or A4 and then cut each definition into a strip. Fold over and glue together to give a robust card. Shuffle and test yourself or each other. Keep each topic separate or mix it up, the units are marked on each card so they can easily be re-sorted. Fold and laminate for a longer lasting set. Good for starter activities, revision and test yourself! This resource contains definitions for: 3.1.1 Atomic structure 3.1.2 Amount of substance 3.1.3 Bonding 3.1.4 Energetics 3.1.5 Kinetics 3.1.6 Equilibria 3.1.7 Redox 3.2.1 Periodicity 3.2.2 Group 2 the alkaline earth metals 3.2.3 Group 7 the halogens 3.3.1 Introduction to organic chemistry 3.3.2 Alkane 3.3.3 Halogenoalkanes 3.3.4 Alkenes 3.3.5 Alcohols 3.3.6 Organic Analysis

AQA A-level Chemistry 3.1.2 Amount of Substance - Unit Workbook and Notes with Answers

(0)
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.1.2 Amount of Substance - Lesson or Revision workbook with answers This workbook covers a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell Style notetaking 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 students who have dyslexia. User friendly for students and parents revision too with answers included. This booklet is 46 pages long with answers to past paper questions provided at the back from page 40 onwards. It is provided in word and pdf. Contents Unit conversion The mole and the Avogadro constant Chemical formulae and equations including balancing equations, ionic and half equations Masses, volumes and concentrations in moles and associated calculations Making volumetric solutions Titration Reacting masses, % yield, atom economy Ideal gas equation, pV=nRT Empirical and Molecular Formula Water of crystallisation

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.

AQA GCSE chemistry - Unit 4 - Lesson7 Strong and Weak Acids and understanding pH

(0)
This is a lesson to teach strong and weak acids with an introduction to the meaning of pH. It has a ppt and worksheet in word and pdf format with answers to the worksheet as well. The meaning of strong acid in terms of complete ionisation of acid molecules in water The meaning of weak acid in terms of partial ionisation of acid molecules in water Comparison of the terms concentrated and dilute with strong and weak and an explanation of how a weak acid can still be concentrated and a strong acid could still be dilute. Grid to test understanding of key vocabulary in the ppt file. Meaning of pH in terms of the change in 10x each time you go down a pH unit - does not include logarithms it is described in an accessible way that allows students to calculate changes in concentration as pH unit changes. I write Professor Bunsen resources to teach and test in my own classroom. I hope that I manage to make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time!
