The tutorial covers the key concepts involved in understanding electronic configurations. It builds step-by-step from the GCSE ideas of atoms and electrons to using practical evidence for the existence of energy levels and sub-levels. The key methods of representing electronic configurations are included.

This resource is intended as a collaborative revision activity. It is suitable for the organic chemistry topic (4.7) in the new AQA GCSE Chemistry qualification. Students work in small groups and take turns to roll 2 dice in order to determine a square on the grid. The student must then describe/explain the contents of the square to the rest of the group. This can be made more challenging by determining two separate squares and making links between them both. Differentiated for Foundation and Higher students, with a version containing ? squares to allow for the use of exam-style questions in addition. Includes a learning checklist for the topic.

There seems to be very little in the way of resources for this new section of the AQA A-Level Chemistry course on DNA. I have tried here to put together a resource of 15 MCQs testing the ideas needed for this part of the spec. Reflecting the enhanced level of maths in the course, some of the questions require some calculation too. Full set of answers provided.

Designed as a collaborative revision task. The learning grid allows groups of 2/3 students to work together to review the topic. Each student rolls 2 dice to get a ‘grid reference’ and they then have to explain what is contained in that square. This can be made more challenging by rolling the dice twice and making links between the 2 squares identified. There is a second version attached which allows students to land on a ? square, where they answer an exam-style question. Includes a learning checklist for the topic.
