A simple worksheet that gives some applications of exothermic and endothermic reactions, written to cover the syllabus and also most exam questions.

Simple powerpoint detailing metal properties

Pupils read big question and background statements before handling the grid. Helpful statements are ticked, unhelpful are crossed and true but irrelevent statements are indicated. The newspaper stops heat transfer as it is an insulator, the direction of energy flow is irrelevent. Comments welcome.

A link from pH work in year 7 though GCSE to A-level

Cut out the answer and question sections. Pupils find the answer to each question until they arrive back at the start. There is on question that doesnt fit, so watch out for it. comments welcome

Students write formulae from names and calculate relative molecular masses from formulae. A simple two sided sheet that covers all the formulae and masses needed in the Y10 OCR course but will be useful for other boards. comments welcome.

A power point to show the alkane family properties both chemical and physical.

There is a work book and an answer sheet in the resource. Pupils can be guided through the work book although more able pupils will be able to use it as an independent study booklet. I have included answers as colleagues found them helpful. Reviews and constructive criticism welcome

This presentation animates the nucleophilic addition of CN- to carbonyls and shows the mark scheme from an exam paper.

The OLD AQA unit C1 syllabus turned into a series of questions and answers. Great for starter questions Great for knowledge acquisition. The format is a table with two columns, one Questions, the other Answers. Students fold the paper in half and ask themselves the question, then turn over for the answer. Great for revision in pairs or with a parent, even if they don’t know the chemistry, because the answers are already there. Designed for the OLD AQA GCSE Chemistry unit C1 revision, even last minute revision.

The AQA unit P2 syllabus turned into a series of questions and answers. Great for knowledge acquisition. The format is a table with two columns, one Questions, the other Answers. Students fold the paper in half and ask themselves the question, then turn over for the answer. Great for revision in pairs or with a parent, even if they don't know the physics, because the answers are already there. Great as a last minute revision check list.
