This resource would suit A2 students. It contains 4 pages of problems, which can either be printed on both sides and made into an 4-page booklet or used as two separate 2-page problem sheets. The problems focus on the assignment of signals to the different hydrogen environments in 2-5 carbon organic aliphatic molecules. Some problems ask the student to distinguish between isomers based on the number and type of signals. The start of the worksheet asks students to decide how many signals they can expect based on symmetry arguments. In all cases students are asked to justify their assignments. Other worksheets are currently being developed that will include aromatic systems and problems based on the combination of IR, Mass spec, 1H and 13C NMR spectra. If you find any mistakes please give me feedback and I will address and send you an updated version.

This resource consists of 3 worksheets: a 4-page and two 2-page worksheets (and answers). Students are asked to complete reaction schemes, draw and/or name molecules and short answer questions. The focus is on amides, esters and some of their organic reactions. This resource would suit students doing AS, IB or organic chemistry to a high level.

This is the perfect topic to end the year on. It is fun and the students don't even realise there is a serious aspect to it: healthy eating, analysing food etc. You can adjust the depth and type of learning outcomes depending on the age group (eg. if it is an older group I always include a section on microbiology and we swab surfaces and check for cleanliness, learn about how factories manage food safety etc). This topic encourages student-led learning and there is considerable enthusiasm in the classroom. You do not need to have an ice cream machine, although I did and there is often someone in the class who does have one). I have written up a rough guide on how the 1-2 weeks would go but I found that the students really enjoyed their own research and in some years this took longer than I originally had planned for. This resource includes: notes for teacher, a base ice cream recipe, ice cream in a bag activity, taste testing template, energy calculation activity and some other ideas (eg poster design). It is a lot of fun and will save you that painful end of year "now what do we do"?

This resources contains 5 pages of problems (2 double-sided wrk sheets) that include * Alkanes: name and / or draw isomers * Alkenes: naming and/or draw isomers, organic transformations and geometric isomer problems.

This bundle has been updated (29 Sept 16) to include: * a 13C nmr spectra assignment worksheet (14 spectra; 5 pages long) and answers to help prepare for the spectroscopy test (see below). * a 1 hour 8-page test (or work sheet). There are 3 questions built up of multiple parts. Each requires the student to use information from Infra Red, Mass Spectrometry and C-13 NMR spectra to elucidate the different compounds. Answers are included. Students are expected to give evidence to support their assignments. This test would be useful for A-level students. Note: This mark scheme is specific to the NZ National examination program and involves some holistic marking and grading rather than /100. The test takes about 1 hr and the focus is on the student being able to write full answers and justify their assignments. It is important that the user adjust this resource to fit with their own national assessment. Over the coming months further tests/work sheet versions will be developed, which will allow users to cut and match questions or be longer to meet end-user needs. The 3rd document consists only of answers (cf. the 2nd where the answers are built into the test/work sheet).

These activities were developed to help native Chinese students learn the English words for the elements of the periodic table. Our lessons are slower than in the typical timetabled class. I found that these worksheets helped the students gain confidence in the spoken and written word as well as learn about the periodic table. Over a 2 week period and many practical activities there was a significant increase in their communication and general engagement in the classroom. This resource bundle includes a funworder where the student must find the element (and atomic number) based on the Chinese word; two worksheets which require the student to fill in the English word or the Chinese word and a cross word puzzle. Answers are included. I am not a native Chinese speaker but have had the resources checked by a native speaking Chinese student. If there are any errors please get in touch and I will make the appropriate changes. I would also like feedback as I have a series of resources I will be publishing in the coming weeks. Your feedback will help direct my focus.

This worksheet has bond enthalpy and lattice energy calculations and would be suitable for A level students. Key words: Hess’s law, bond enthalpy, Lattice energy, calculations.

This experiment gets students to compare pH titration data collected using different indicators. It shows the importance of choosing the correct indicator. The experiment(s) are easily carried out in 50 minutes and students can do up to 8 titrations during the class. Data is reported back to the teacher and the results shared with the wider class. Student feedback suggests this is a very useful practical and the repetitive nature of the experiment allows them to fine-tune their experimental skills. The practical will be useful for those studying acid-base chemistry and buffer systems. Students enrolled in AS-A2 Cambridge or A level courses would find this practical beneficial. Notes for the teacher are also included Key words: buffer, acid-base, equivalence point, buffer zone, practical, pKa, indicators.
