This resource is a graded (levelled) collection of all the questions from the recent AQA paper (F and H 2019) divided into Foundation and Higher and all 10 AQA topics: Atomic structure and the periodic table, Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter, Quantitative chemistry, Chemical changes, Energy changes, The rate and extent of chemical change, Organic chemistry, Chemical analysis, Chemistry of the atmosphere and Using resources. Each question has been summarised, graded, coded (from the specification) and colour coded for AO1, 2 or 3. This can be used when planning/revising with students so they have an idea what grade they are working at. A sample (free) is here to check out, before you decide whether to buy or not: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/periodic-table-and-atomic-structure-9-1-grade-descriptor-revision-12231830 For a list of grades and how I decided on the grading (free), click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/9-1-gcse-grade-descriptors-science-12217480 For more resources free and paid for, please check out: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.

This lesson is educational (but fun) that can be used as a normal lesson, but also as an end of term revision lesson. It is aimed at KS3 or lower ability KS4. It lasts approximately 1 hour and has 4 group challenges and a whole class challenge at the end. No knowledge of the Periodic table needed, but if they have, it can be used as a revision lesson. It is a science lesson version of my Escape Room Periodic Table lesson (for the same price) that can be found here (be careful it’s a bit scary): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/elements-and-the-periodic-table-escape-room-challenge-12193939 It includes: Lesson Plan (it doesn’t need a lab) Clues for students to find elements, their symbols and their position on the Periodic Table in terms of periods and groups. Problem solving challenges Fun Game of Splat at the end. It also uses their knowledge of reactivity of groups 1 and 7 for solving some of the clues. Please comment. I hope you find this resource useful. Thank You.

This is a helpsheet that uses the circle/ring the formula method to stop students from the misconception of changing the subscripted formula. Students can use this to help them answer questions until they don’t need this scaffolding. There are a lot of balancing equation question sheets, but not many free methods. Hope this is useful.

This is a simple information sheet which shows a way of calculating the number of protons, neutrons and electrons from any atom on the Periodic Table. It also explains why group 1 metals become more reactive as you go down the group and group 7 become less reactive.

This resources consists of photographs and exam style questions with a completed graphic organiser helpsheet. This is aimed at AQA students to encourage them to practice exam style questions on required practicals anytime during the lesson. The questions are specifically generic so they can be asked about almost any of the practicals and consequently they do not need to go next to any particular one, producing over 400 combinations of questions with images. The questions are colour coded for different levels with Red-Hard, Orange-Medium and Green-Easier (one could say differentiated, but one would be stretching the truth). Also included is the required practical placemat (worth a whole £1!) to help your students answer the questions on the display. Suggestions for Activities: I generally sit my students round the display and then ask them to chose a question and I (or another student) choose a practical or vice versa. Then we discuss the answer as a class or nominate another student or practical or question, (or stick them round my board and let the display soak into their minds through osmosis / diffusion or ask a question as a plenary) The set of images and questions can be printed smaller and students and given to groups of students who turn them face down and turn two over, an image and a question, which they then answer. This game works well and makes the question and required practical more random (like the exam). Font size is set at 80 pt so that it can be seen at about 10 feet away (Approx 72 pt per 10 ft of distance is the rule) I hope you find this resource useful Thank you for reading this far.

This resource contains keywords, images and definitions (see below for all 60 keywords covered). It is aimed at KS4, but can be used with upper KS3. The resource can be used as a matching activity, a booklet for revision or display (more uses described below). It can be used in several ways: As a whole class activity: The Power Point version is animated so that it puts the image on first, followed by the keyword, then the definition. In this way, students can be shown the image and asked what the keyword is, then are asked what the definition is. The Interactive Power Point has all the keywords linked to the slide with that definition. It also contains a back to the previous slide button so that you can back to the word you were discussing. The Interactive Keyword Power Point at beginning has all the keywords on the second slide. Click to link to that slide, then click the Home button to go back-Use when referring to certain words that students have difficulty with. As a display around the room. Printed smaller and given to the students as a keyword booklet or Graphic Organiser to revise from. Memory game: Printed smaller and cut out, turned over and the students turn a card over and ask the other students in their group to give the definition when given the word, or vice versa. Cut the titles off and the image, place them all around the room, give the student one piece and ask them to find the other two parts tjhat go with it. The presentation has all the keywords in order of when they are mentioned in the AQA Specification. The Keywords are: Atom, Element, Chemical Symbol, Periodic Table, Compound, Chemical Reaction, Energy Change, Chemically combine, Proportion, Formula, Word Equations, Symbol Equations, Balanced, Ion, Half Equation, Ionic Equation, Separation, Filtration, Crystallisation, Distillation, Fractional Distillation, Chromatography, Purification, Chemical Properties, Model, Electron, Plum Pudding Model, Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment, Nucleus, Nuclear Model, Orbit, Protons, Neutrons, Charge, Relative, Isotopes, Atomic Mass, Nanometres, Percentage Abundance, Energy Levels/Shells, Electronic Structure, Groups, periods, Atomic Weight, Metals, Mendeleev’s Periodic table, Non-metals, Noble gases/Group 0, Trend/Pattern, Alkali Metals/Group 1, Halogens/Group 7, Molecule, Displacement, Aqueous, Salt, Solution, Transition Metals, Density, Hardness and Reactivity. *New Keywords added: Atomic Number, Mixtures, Physical properties, Scattering and Shielding Please comment with any suggestions for improvements or other ideas for resources. I hope you find this resource useful.

This is a lesson that explains to KS4 students the importance of Avogadro’s number and Moles. It gives definitions of the mole and Avogadro’s constant, that are important for exams. It is based around the OCR scheme of work, but will work on other syllabus for explaining what a mole is and how to use it in calculations. Contains: 15 page ppt slide inc lesson objectives, starter and plenary questions 3 pages of questions on Mole, Mass or Avogadro’s number Answers to worksheet for peer/self assessment. I hope you find this useful Please comment Thank you.

This colour coded help sheet will help students know which precipitate is formed by looking at which anions and cations are insoluble in water. it covers Alkali Metals, Nitrates, Sulfates, Sulfites, Chlorides, Bromides, Iodides, Fluorides, Hydroxides, Oxides, Sulfides, Carbonates etc. I designed it to go with the test for anions/cations practical at GCSE and to help with A level Chemistry. Hope it helps. For more free and paid resources please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.
