A three lesson, 78 slide PowerPoint presentation on NMR. There is enough content here for three lessons covering areas:
- introduction to NMR
- solvents
- TMS
- carbon environments
- carbon NMR
- proton NMR
- integration and number of protons
- spin coupling/splitting patterns
There are five accompanying worksheets for students, and a teacher version with answers. There are also NMR chemical shift data sheets that can be printed out for students.
This has been written for the AQA A-Level specification, however, it is easily applicable to a variety of specifications.
A step by step presentation describing the background and calculations behind a redox titration. There is a brief overview about constructing half equations (in relation to potassium permanganate reduction), with a task for students to construct their own for potassium dichromate.
The lesson then covers calculations for working out the percentage iron concentration in a table. The worksheet gives 6 long form questions based around this. There is an answer sheet in the excel document, and a very simple question generator that you can use.
This lesson is aimed at A-Level students, but could potentially be applicable to some high level GCSE groups.
Two PowerPoint presentations (100 slides and 25 slides) that explain the following concepts:
naming of straight chain alkanes
naming of branched alkanes (naming rules for alkyl groups)
naming of cyclic alkanes with and without branches
explanation of structural isomerism (positional and chain)
PowerPoints feature clear and logical steps and explanations, with embedded learning check point questions and discussion prompts. Naming rules follow the IUPAC system and should be applicable to most syllabi.
Include are three different worksheets that give students the opportunity to practice the concepts covered. Each worksheet has a solution set, and also a PowerPoint version of the solution set, ideal for going through with a class.
Our aim for teaching resources is to make them clear and logical. We follow an ethos of keeping PowerPoint designs simple, with small chunks of information, that ensures students are not overwhelmed with information.
A PowerPoint with worksheets that covers the concepts of redox chemistry. Half-equations are introduced, including combining of half-equations. Oxidation states (oxidation numbers) are covered, with reference as to how this can be used to identify oxidation and reduction processes. Construction of and balancing of complex half-equations is also covered, using the KOHES method.
In total, five worksheets with solutions, and an 80 slide PowerPoint that will give students the fundamental rules and skills required for tackling more complex redox and electrochemistry topics.
A 93 slide PowerPoint presentation with worksheets that covers the following areas:
SI Units
SI Derived Units
SI Prefixes
SI Prefix Conversions
Depending on class ability and how tasks are used, this should be 1-2 lessons, or 1.5-2 hours of teaching.
Included are six different worksheets/activities. There is a comprehension task based on when unit measurements goes wrong. There is a worksheet to fill in for collating information based on SI units. There is an optional graphing task that allows students to determine absolute zero. There are two information hunt tasks, with associated information cards, based on SI Derived Units and SI Prefixes. There is also a task on conversion of SI Prefixes.
A differentiated resource for producing a labelled diagram of distillation apparatus. There are two main versions of this activity, but both of them require the information cards. These can be printed out and placed around the room.
The first version is an all in one A4 sheet that has the diagram and labels that can be cut out and stuck on. This is better suited to lower ability students, they can find out where the parts are by looking at the information around the room.
The second version requires the diagram with no labels. Students have to collect the information from around the room and write it on their diagram. I run this as a memory game, giving students two rules: they can only write on their diagram at their desk, and they cannot move the information sheets.
A 58 slide PowerPoint covering the topic of halogenoalkanes (AKA alkyl halides). The PowerPoint has enough content for three distinct lessons:
1) Naming and Drawing
2) Substitution
3) Elimination
Mechanisms are outlined for each substitution with a small introduction to drawing mechanisms. There is an assumption of basic knowledge of organic chemistry such as nomenclature (alkanes). Each area has an accompanying worksheet with questions for students, there are also answers for the teacher. I have also included a key information summary sheet for each mechanism (ideal as a handout).
This resource is based around the AQA A-Level chemistry specification, however, it should be easily applicable to other specifications.
This is a card sort to help students learn examples for different acids and bases, along with their corresponding pH. This resource covers pH 1-14, and can be used in a variety of different ways. For example, you could start by getting students to put them in order, or group into acids and bases. Students will need prior knowledge of what pH, acids, and bases are. This would be a useful task with younger groups or low ability groups. There are three separate files, depending on how you want to present the task.
- The 'teacher copy' shows a grid with all items already matched.
- The 'student version' is a random layout, print this out and give to students. They can then cut out the items and match them, or stick them into their workbooks.
- The 'quick cut' is designed so that you can produce 10 packs of cards quickly and easily using a guillotine. Each page has the same card 10 times over. This allows you to remove words that may not be suitable or needed. Alternatively you can print the same page twice double-sided to produce flash cards.
This resource features a 40 slide PowerPoint and two worksheets with answer sets for the naming of alkenes and alkynes.
The PowerPoint gives a step-by-step approach to IUPAC nomenclature for alkenes and alkynes with worksheets consolidating these ideas. Note, this resouce does not cover isomerism.

An 80+ slide PowerPoint presentation about Galvanic cells. Features quick questions as you go along, full printable notes, and a summary worksheet. Areas covered include analysis of galvanic cells to determine the location of the anode and cathode, plus electrode polarity, electron flow direction. Information is given about salt bridges. Furthermore, explanations about conventional cell representations and calculating overall cell voltage are given. This is the ideal resource to cover galvanic cells. Prerequisite knowledge will include redox, see my other resource that covers this information here.
This resource features a 35 slide PowerPoint and two worksheets with answer sets for the naming of geometric isomers of alkenes.
The PowerPoint gives a step-by-step approach to IUPAC nomenclature for geomtric isomers of alkenes with a worksheet consolidating these ideas.

Here are levelled questions for all topics in the OCR Gateway C5 module. They have been taken from the student book and presented in an easy to use manner, with an included answer document.
These are ideal for a home work or plenary. Each file has been set out to maximise the number of question sheets on an A4 piece of paper. Some have fonts large enough to be printed two to a page, should you have limits on printing.
If you notice any typos please leave a comment telling me which file and I'll correct and update it.
