AQA GCSE 9-1 Chemistry Unit 7 Organic Chemistry 7.3 Synthetic + naturally occurring polymers TRIPLE

4.7 Organic chemistry
4.7.3 Synthetic and naturally occurring polymers (chemistry only)
4.7.3.1 Addition polymerisation
4.7.3.2 Condensation polymerisation (HT only)
4.7.3.3 Amino acids (HT only)
4.7.3.4 DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and other naturally occurring polymers

Content split over 7 lessons -but more including practical lessons (lessons in our school are 40 minutes so can condense material for longer lessons if required)
All exam questions have been removed for copyright purposes
