Paper Chromatography

(0)
A GCSE Chemistry worksheet on Paper Chromatography. The worksheet is differentiated with exam questions targeting grades 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9. There’s questions on mobile and stationary phases, food additives, calculation of Rf values etc. The more challenging questions require students to think in more depth about the physical processes involved in the separation, explaining how separation occurs, how we use chromatography to identify additives etc. Answers are included.

Calculating pH - Cooperative learning activity
polarity24polarity24

Calculating pH - Cooperative learning activity

(0)
A 20 minute group work activity on calculating pH. Split class into 4 groups, each group containing all levels of ability (so that the brighter students can help the lower ability.) Each group given one of 4 questions to solve. Teacher circulates giving hints where needed. Once each group has solved their question (allow 5-10 mins). students then return to their original seat and have to teach the solution to their question to their colleague. A great way to encourage group work and has always been graded as an outstanding lesson when observed by leadership. Answers are included and a 5th question included at the end of the activity to illustrate progress.
Transition metals revision KS5

Transition metals revision KS5

(0)
A bundle of resources on KS5 Chemistry transition metals. The bundles includes activities & games designed to help students revise naming, colours and reactions of the first row transition metals. Theres flash cards, match cards, a revision board game with questions, Ecell information sheet etc.
Ecell:  Rusting
polarity24polarity24

Ecell: Rusting

(0)
3 resources on Rusting and corrosion suitable for KS5 lessons on the electrochemical series. PowerPoint explains how rusting occurs and shows students how to calculate Ecell for the overall rusting process. Then there's a worksheet (with answers) and a keyword match exercise.
Born Haber cycles & lattice energies - complete topic
polarity24polarity24

Born Haber cycles & lattice energies - complete topic

(0)
A complete set of 9 lesson resources on the A-Level Chemistry topic of Born Haber cycles. In our college, this content is taught over three double lessons. Includes resources on sketching the cycle, (including interactive animations), how to perform the calculations using data from the cycles, definitions of lattice energy, enthalpy of formation, enthalpy of atomisation and electron affinity. Also includes the teaching of charge density (ionic radii & charge), how we use the value of lattice energies to determine complete ionic character/degree of covalent bonding and polarisation. Accompanying the Power Points, are worksheets (with answers included) and homeworks.
