This recent Power Point, with animation, I have created to make it easy to cover the MAIN points on this topic. Many books make it too complicated for non-physicist !. It contains 5 slides that covers the basic from SHE to Cell notation. Then another 4 slides which goes through slowly an exam question, including the official mark linked to the worked out answer. The last 3 three must be printed out as a worksheet for students to annotate or write on as the first 5 slides are explained as shown.

Another important mechanism where learners make simple mistakes in OCR - keep forgetting the diploles on the C-X bond as in the AQA specification it is not required. So I covered both, including a starter activity and followed at the end with a stretch and challenge question. This keeps the learners motivated and gives them research skills required for university. Please try and put in the review if anyone requires a specific PPT or resources they want me to produce. Also, can give me an indication if anyone wants ALL my PPT’s on here at a discounted rate of around 40%.

Very effective power point which shows the mechanism students most over !! The use of little animation to help those visual learners to remember the reaction with great confidence as I have shown the mechanism BOTH with arrows AND without. This is mainly catered for ALL major examining boards namely AQA, OCR and Edexcel specification. Also used in the USA for other board possibly.

This resource worked well with my students when it came to understanding Distillation & Reflux experiment setup. In the power point there will be a handout to print (the last slide) and then an animated slide that reveals the answers one by for the teacher to explain EACH step/point of the process. The rest of the animated slides make it very clear where students make the most common mistakes during the experiment. The final slide are 4 KEY points summarised in case students have missed them during the lesson. e.g WRONG SET UP (1) – REFLUX & DISTILLATION WRONG SET UP (2) – DISTILLATION WRONG SET UP (3) – REFLUX OVER HEATING (4) – REFLUX & DISTILLATION
