A powerpoint that shows how to calculate %Composition and sets it in the context of fertilisers

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.

The old A*-G AQA unit C2 syllabus turned into a series of questions and answers. Useful 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.

A quick revision of isomerism then an animation of polarimetry. Comments welcome. This replaces a similar resource that didn't actually upload the resource!
