A complete lesson covering section 6.2.3 a-c of the OCR Chemistry specification- condensation polymerisation to form polyesters and polyamides. The lesson starts by recapping addition polymerisation for year 12. It then introduces condensation polymers. The lesson then goes through the formation of polyamides and polyesters using either one monomer or two. The lesson includes multiple opportunities for students to independently practice. The lesson then covers the hydrolysis of polymers to return to the original monomers. The final part of the lesson is practice at working out the original monomer using a digram of the original polymer. The lesson includes lots of independent tasks I aim to reduce photocopying so all activities and answers are in the PowerPoint- a total of 42 slides

A complete lesson covering section 5.2.3 a- e of the OCR Chemistry specification - redox reactions and carrying out redox titrations. The lesson opens with a reminder of oxidation numbers from year 12. It then looks at reducing and oxidising agents using an example to reinforce the idea. The lesson then moves onto how half equations can be used to construct overall equations for reactions, again with students led practice. It then looks at using oxidation numbers to complete equations, including when some species are missing from the equation (such as water) . The final part of the lesson looks at redox titrations including both how to carry them out as well as various examples of calculation including calculating purity and using it to work out water of crystalisation. The lesson includes worked examples and student independent practice. I aim to reduce copying so all activities are within the PowerPoint- 36 slides in total

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5 b and c- further organic synthesis. The lesson covers a variety of skills needed for organic synthesis: identifying functional groups Identifying synthetic routes Completing flow charts showing synthetic routes Recalling and using reagents and conditions Drawing reaction mechanisms including curly arrows The lesson is a mixture of student activities and teacher led worked examples All answers included i aim to reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PPT (47 slides in total)

A full lesson covering section 6.2.4 a-d of the OCR Chemistry specification- making carbon-carbon bonds. The lesson starts by looking at why we need to form new carbon-carbon bonds. It then looks at the reactions with haloalkanes and acyl chlorides and the reaction mechanisms behind both. The lesson then looks at the reactions of the nitriles and how they can be used in organic synthesis. The final part of the lesson looks at the reactions with benzene and how additional side chains can be added. There are lots of student independent tasks and all answers are provided I aim to reduce photocopying so all activities are within the PPT (32 slides in total)

An assembly for the start of year about bhow to make good progress at school. It opens looking at potential and what it means It then moves onto confidence, perseverance and challenge Each section is supported by inspirational quotes from famous men and women It then looks at four specific examples of people who have over come challenges (Bethany Hamilton, Van Gogh, Helen Keller and Emily Blunt) The assembly closes by addressing a common student complaint- I don’t need xxxxxx so why do I need to study it. It looks at a series of careers that have been ‘invented’ since I left school in 1998

A PowerPoint for an assembly on study skills. Aimed principally at KS4 and year 9 but could also be helpful with KS3 It is 18 slides long with presenter notes on the majority of slides It starts by discussing why studying is so important before moving onto a series of tips around good study habits (set goals, plan time, location). It then looks at 6 different evidence led strategies including flash cards, interleaving and dual coding The assembly closes by considering the importance of practice but also looking at mental and physical health
