It covers what is electronegativity, uses of electronegativity values to classify bonds as ionic, polar covalent and non-polar covalent, dipoles and polar v. non-polar molecules. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the new OCR A Level specification

A lesson on properties of covalent compounds. It covers properties of simple covalent compounds (low mp and bp, lack of conduction and solubility), anomalous properties of water and hydrogen-bonding and DNA. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the new OCR A Level specification

Includes a review of naming aldehydes and ketones, why C=O undergoes nucleophilic addition, mechanism for the reaction and reactions of carbonyls with NaBH4 and CN. Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.

A lesson on controlling equilibrium for OCR A Level Chemistry. Lesson covers how Kc and Kp stay the same with changes to concentration and pressure and how Kc and Kp change with temperature. Questions and answers on slides – no printing required.

A lesson on Kp for OCR A level Chemistry. Lesson covers mole fractions, partial pressures and how to calculate Kp. Questions and answers on slides so no printing required.

A Powerpoint presentation on addition polymers from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers what an addition polymer is, drawing polymers from monomers (and vice versa) and disposing of polymers. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson that covers what a limiting reagent is, how to find the limiting reagent from masses (this is also found in the combined science specification), how to find the limiting reagent from the volume and concentration of solutions (separate chemistry) and how to find the limiting reagent from gas volumes (separate chemistry). This lesson is designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification, separate chemistry and covers higher only content.

A lesson on ionic bonding and ionic radius. A Year 12 BTEC lesson designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Lesson covers what an ionic bond is, drawing dot and cross diagrams and factors that impact the strength of an ionic bond. Includes questions for students to do on the slides. No printing required.

A Powerpoint presentation covering structural isomers from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers what is a structural isomer, how to find isomers from molecular formula and how to find isomers from percentage composition by mass. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A worksheet (and key) containing empirical formula calculations. Includes finding empirical formula from molecular formula, molecular formula from empirical formula, empirical formula from reacting masses, empirical formula from percentage composition and writing a balanced equation from reacting masses. Designed as a revision aid for higher attainers and the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson on molarity designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson reviews mole calculations, explains how to calculate molarity and how to convert between concentration in moles/dm3 and grams/dm3. Contains bronze/silver/gold tasks (with answers on the next slide) for students to carry out for each calculation. No printing required.

A lesson covering rates of reaction graphs for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Includes how to calculate the rate if given a tangent line and how to interpret rates graphs and some exam questions.

A lesson on the electrolysis of copper sulfate and purification of copper. Covers the products of electrolysis of copper sulfate with copper and carbon electrodes, how to purify copper using electrolysis, and exam question and a practical on the electrolysis of copper sulfate (one part of the core practical). Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 combined science specification.

This lesson covers electrolysis of aqueous solutions - predicting the products and writing balanced half-equations. It includes a cart sort in which students match the salt, its ions and the products. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 combined science spec.

A lesson covering reacting mass calculations (using moles) with a 1:1 ratio, reacting masses with a 2:1 ratio (hasn’t normally come up but was on the Year 10 paper), what is a limiting reagent and calculating the limiting reagent from grams. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec and contains higher only content. Contains exam questions on the slides or as a worksheet in a word document, so you can decide whether or not to print out the main task. All of the lesson can be done without printing.

A lesson covering formulas and calculations - the lesson covers relative definitions of empirical and molecular formulas, how to get an empirical formula from a molecular formula, and how to calculate a molecular formula from an empirical formula and the relative formula mass. Includes plenty of questions for students to work out on the slides so not printing is needed. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE spec.
