**Updated April 2021** various fixes as requested
**Updated April 2018** Now includes assessments for both combined science and triple.
**Updated July 2016** Now includes foundation friendly lesson on covalent bonding and giant covalent structures, and identify the errors covalent bonding worksheet, where you can draw bad dot-cross diagrams and get the students to fix them.
In this pack, you will find lesson powerpoints, worksheet and homeworks for the new AQA Combined Science Trilogy: Chemistry specification - Unit 2: Structure, bonding and the properties of matter.
Like my other resources, this will be updated regularly as lessons are developed and improved upon over time.
Please note: I have decided to remove "polymers" from this unit, as it lends itself better to unit 7 - organic chemistry. I have also integrated states 'states of matter' and 'state symbols' into the lessons as they don't really deserve their own lessons by year 9/10.
I have also included a level differentiated progression of learning map (levels 9-1) for the key skills I try to embed in my classes for students of different working levels. This is very useful for planning assessments too!
I hope you enjoy, and find these resources useful, as always I look forward to hearing your feedback.
You will find the following lessons in this pack:
5.2.1.1 - Chemical Bonds
5.2.1.2 - Ionic Bonding
5.2.1.3 & 5.2.2.3 - Ionic bonding, structure and properties.
5.2.1.4 - Covalent Bonding
5.2.1.4 & 5.2.2.4 - The properties of simple covalent molecules.
5.2.1.4 & 5.2.2.6 - Giant covalent structures.
5.2.1.5 & 5.2.2.7 & 5.2.2.8 - Metallic bonding
Integrated content (states of matter and state symbols)
Removed content (polymers).
This ridiculous lesson should be very fun for students of all abilities, please see the power point for the instructions.
Roles are assigned based on views for and against the quarrying of limestone, students stay in the role of their character for the entirety of the lesson.
Teacher acts as a narrator to make the students act out "Limestone the musical!!

This pack contains the Electrolysis resources from my whole unit 4 pack at a discounted price. These resources are for AQA Combined science Trilogy 8464 and AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462. This pack is intended for those who want to trial my resources, or who only need resources on Electrolysis for this unit.
The pack contains four lessons, with powerpoints, worksheets, homework and mark schemes.
Lessons
4.4.3.1 The process of electrolysis
4.4.3.2 Molten electrolysis
4.4.3.3 Using electrolysis to extract metals
4.4.3.4 Electrolysis of aqueous solutions
Zipped and organised folders
You should not purchase this pack if you have already purchased my unit 4 pack as you already own these resources.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lewis
Two A3 double sided knowledge organisers for unit 1 of AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462. These cover both the combined and triple specifications. In both PDF and powerpoint formats so you can modify.
The first knowledge organiser is on Atomic structure, the second on the periodic table.
My classes find these especially useful for review ahead of tests.
A card sort detailing the process of phytomining and bioleaching + Issues. Get the students to arrange the cards onto A3 paper and annotate/build a flow chart.
Enjoy!
A free test I produced on unit 3 - quantitative chemistry, this is also known as C4 if you’re using kerboodle codes.
I hope it’s of use to you, mark scheme also attached!
