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 lesson on materials for the Edexcel 9-1 separate sciences specification. Covers the properties of different materials (ceramics, composites, glass) and asks students to choose the best material for a given use from data provided. Includes exam questions or exam-style questions on the slides. 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 on metallic bonding designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers the properties of metals, what metallic bonding is and explanations of the properties of metals.

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 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.

A lesson on oxidation, reduction and corrosion designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Lesson covers what is rusting, what iron needs to rust, how rusting can be prevented and the difference between rusting and corrosion. Lesson then defines oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen and asks students to apply that to some equations. Then the lesson goes on to cover the higher only content on oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons.

A lesson that covers trends in the first ionisation energy. It covers trends in first ionisation energy down a group and across a period. It also discusses trends and links to electronic configuration and sub-shells. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A lesson that covers halogen displacement reactions. It contains a method and results for a halogen displacement practical and discusses how these are redox reactions. It also covers writing half-equations for these reactions. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.
