Simple powerpoint detailing metal properties

A fact-packed powerpoint that starts with the newly formed Earth and its volcanic emission and finishes with the modern atmosphere. Comments welcome

An active reading worksheet that contains a lot of information. Pupils read it through and then read it again to give titles to paragraphs. Then they have to read it again to sift out various bits of information. Reviews welcome

Pupils read big question and background statements before handling the grid. Helpful statements are ticked, unhelpful are crossed and true but irrelevent statements are indicated. The newspaper stops heat transfer as it is an insulator, the direction of energy flow is irrelevent. Comments welcome.

Four clear powerpoint slides that show crystallinity in HDPE, random chains in LDPE, thermosetting polymers and thermosoftening polymers. I go through it using the IWB but print out the slides, two on a paged,backed, without the diagrams, to give pupils the opportunity to draw out the different structures.

A powerpoint that shows the triester structure of fats and then looks at the different types of fatty acids. Comments welcome

A link from pH work in year 7 though GCSE to A-level

This powerpoint focuses less on chemistry and more on the economic aspects of the process. Some good links to geography and business studies.

A version of the glossary provided by the exam boards. This one has had its reading age reduced but not it's content or it&'s usefulness. It can also be used to introduce the terms in KS3 if you are 'Getting Practical'

Cut out the answer and question sections. Pupils find the answer to each question until they arrive back at the start. There is on question that doesnt fit, so watch out for it. comments welcome

This introduces cis and trans isomerism. Let me rephrase that. This introduces E/Z isomerism.

Students write formulae from names and calculate relative molecular masses from formulae. A simple two sided sheet that covers all the formulae and masses needed in the Y10 OCR course but will be useful for other boards. comments welcome.

Show the initial slide to introduce the activity. Pupils are put into groups of four to discuss how they would stop the spread of this fatal disease. Real life solutions can be seen later in the ppt.

There is a work book and an answer sheet in the resource. Pupils can be guided through the work book although more able pupils will be able to use it as an independent study booklet. I have included answers as colleagues found them helpful. Reviews and constructive criticism welcome

This presentation animates the nucleophilic addition of CN- to carbonyls and shows the mark scheme from an exam paper.

I made this presentation from the mark schemes of exam papers. It includes the examiners comments and notes. AQA are quite picky about getting the mechanisms just right so I went to the source, the examiners and not the texts.

The AQA unit P2 syllabus turned into a series of questions and answers. Great for knowledge acquisition. The format is a table with two columns, one Questions, the other Answers. Students fold the paper in half and ask themselves the question, then turn over for the answer. Great for revision in pairs or with a parent, even if they don't know the physics, because the answers are already there. Great as a last minute revision check list.
