A resource applicable for the current AQA A-Level Chemistry specification on TOF Mass spec calculations. The questions test students on how to calculate velocity, distance of flight tube, time taken and atomic mass. Answers are included to every question including a hand-written extended answer sheet showing each step of the calculations to assist students who get stuck. The resource usually takes about 60 – 90 mins for students to complete depending on their ability.

A Knowledge organiser on the A-Level Chemistry topic Transition metals. Includes theory on electronic configuration, definitions, shapes, colours of chromium, vanadium and hydroxide precipitates, complexes and reactions with hydroxide ions.

An A-Level Chemistry Transition metal revision resource including a game board and questions. Land on a square with a star and you have to answer a question. Questions are included with answers and are relevant for all A-Level exam boards.

A knowledge organiser on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Is suitable for the new AQA GCSE 2018 syllabus (from the chapter “Chemical changes”). Contains information on electrolysis of molten ionic compounds like lead bromide, the electrolysis of aluminium oxide and also the electrolysis of aqueous solutions like sodium chloride (brine.) Includes explanations on what happens at the electrodes (oxidation/reduction), the ionic equations involved, and for aqueous solutions, explanations of why we get hydrogen instead of the metal if the metal is the most reactive etc.

An A-Level Chemistry resource on purification of organic liquids. The handout includes labelled diagrams and information on the organic techniques of reflux, distillation, washing and drying. Includes diagrams of heating by reflux, distillation, separating (tap) funnel and drying agent. With each diagram is information about what each technique is used for. E.g. purpose of washing with HCl, NaHCO3 or water. Purpose of a drying agent with relevant examples. Why antibumping granules are required in a pear shaped flask. Why the water goes in the bottom of a condenser and out at the top and much more. The information helps students prepare for questions on A-Level required practicals on organic chemistry.

PowerPoints going over the reactions of Transition metals, deprotonation, ligand exchange. relevant for A-level Chemistry. Also includes another Power Point on the colours of the Transition metal precipitates.

A revision resource with questions on calculating entropy of the system, surroundings, total entropy and entropy of solution for dissolving ionic salts. Answers are included within the editable worksheet which allows students to mark their work and monitor their progress. The questions get more difficult as each section progresses.

Eight resources on the thermal decomposition of the group 1 and 2 nitrates and carbonates. The first resource is a differentiated worksheet with the questions designed around the style of AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam papers and test students on every aspect of the topic including the reactions, observations, trends, theory of charge density/polarisation and finishes with a few questions on how we measure it experimentally. I looked at exam papers from all three exam boards when designing this resource so that it provides comprehensive coverage for my students. Answers are included. There is also a resource which goes through the qualitative observations associated with thermal decomposition of the carbonates and nitrates (what’s observed e.g limewater goes cloudy, brown gas of Nitrogen dioxide etc). I have also included a spider diagram of the reactions/observations and Power Points which explain the science behind it. There is then a hexagon activity and a challenge grid, both designed at stretching & challenging the students.

A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylpropane” which is one of the** required practicals for A-Level Chemistry**. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, washing, drying and redistillation. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.

An AQA Physics GCSE knowledge organiser on the P2 topic “Particles at work: Electric circuits”. contains information on current and charge, potential difference and resistance, component characteristics, IV characteristics graphs, series and parallel circuits. Relevant for the new 2016 specification.

Two activities to go with the GCSE Chemistry required practical “Making a soluble salt”. The first is a hexagon challenge activity in which students have to make connections between the apparatus used and method. Is an activity that promotes stretch and challenge. The second is a cut and stick which requires students to correctly label the apparatus in the correct order.

A set of Mass Spectra cards suitable for the new 2015 A-Level chemistry syllabus. Students complete each card, identifying the peaks and answering the questions. Cards include compounds of butane, propanoic acid, bromine, bromoethane and 3-methyl-2-butanone. Resource provided in both Power Point and PDF format with answers included.

An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on the chemistry of the halogenoalkanes and alcohols. The knowledge organisers include information on the preparation of halogenoalkanes (synthesis of bromobutane) and alcohols, functional groups tests, apparatus (reflux, distillation, separating funnel etc.) Theory about nucleophilic substitution, elimination, oxidation of alcohols etc. Mechanisms for nucleophilic substitution and elimination included.

Contains all the facts from the AQA A-Level Chemistry syllabus on structure of proteins including sequence of amino acids joined by peptide links, hydrogen bonding, sulfur–sulfur bonds, primary, secondary (α-helix and β–pleated sheets,) tertiary structures and fibrous/globular proteins.
