This bundle contains flashcards for the complete A-level chemistry syllabus. Based on AQA but should be consistent across the majority of A-level exam specifications. The flash cards can be printed single sided then folded and glued to make a flashcard set or could also made into booklets. I hand the cards out at the start of each topic and then do definitions tests weekly on the topic of the week. Also included is a BONUS revision sheet on the chemistry Ks!

‘Big ideas’ in chemistry is about identifying and systematically teaching the overarching principles and crucial concepts your students need to become outstanding chemists. Many resources and books are produced with a single exam specification in mind which can leave your students with better knowledge in some areas than others and can make changing exam boards more difficult due to costs of resourcing. Liberate yourself from the exam specification and teach this amazing subject holistically ensuring your students have the detailed knowledge they need to gain confident mastery and an ability to apply their knowledge in unfamiliar scenarios. ‘Big ideas’ enables easier transfer between exam boards for students and teachers (especially non-specialists), and ‘connections’ enables you to place your own emphasis during teaching on concepts important to the actual exams your students will be sitting.
