Providing resources for GCSE Science and A-Level Chemistry.
Chemistry
Transition metals worksheets
A complete set of topic worksheets on the A-Level concept transition metals. I use these worksheets for my students as we go through the topic. Worksheets include questions on electronic configuration, definitions, colour, shapes, naming, ligand exchange, deprotonation and complex formation. Answers to every question is included.
Chromatography quiz
A traffic light quiz on paper chromatography, students hold up the relevant coloured card to answer the questions in the quiz. Suitable for the new 2018 Chemistry GCSE. I use it as a plenary at the end of the lesson.
Enthalpy changes of neutralisation
Power Point on the acid base equilibria concept of Enthalpy of neutralisation. Compares the enthalpy of neutralisation of acids as per the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry Edexcel syllabus.
Bundle
Energetics bundle
7 resources bundle on the Energetics topics Born Haber cycles, enthalpy of neutralisation, Gibbs free energy calculations, entropy of system and total entropy calculations, Hess Law and a knowledge organiser on entropy.
Formulae of ions
A KS4/5 Chemistry worksheet with a formulae grid, gives students practice on writing inorganic formula on molecules such as sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate etc. Answers included.
Chemical Equilibria Kc
A-Level Chemistry equilibria calculations on Kc. Suitable for any syllabus. The worksheet is differentiated with each section increasing in difficulty. Contains one of every type of Kc question based on the last several years of exam questions. Starts with questions on the basics of Kc, then builds up to the harder exam standard Kc questions. Caters for all levels of ability. Answers are included. Takes about a double lesson to complete.
Bundle
A-Level Chemistry knowledge organisers
A bundle of 20 knowledge organisers I have made for the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry syllabuses. The knowledge organisers are on the following topics: atomic structure and the periodic table, acid base equilibria (pH), Ecell, thermodynamics (Entropy), Equilibrium, organic chemistry (hydrocarbons, crude oil, fuels, organic synthesis, polymers, proteins, DNA, amino acids), transition metals, periodic table, bonding and infra red spectra. The knowledge organisers have complete coverage of all the knowledge students need to know before they go on to tackle exam questions.
Electrode potentials and electrochemical cells cut and stick
An A-Level Chemistry resource on the electrochemical cell. Students cut and stick the correct labels into the Electrochemical cell diagram. Answers included.
Crude oil and fuels knowledge organiser
A GCSE Chemistry knowledge organiser on the organic chemistry topic crude oil and fuels suitable for the new AQA Syllabus. Includes chemistry of the alkanes and alkenes (Crude oil, fractional distillation, cracking, fuels, reactions of alkanes and alkenes, naming, general formula and polymers.
Redox titrations
An A-Level Chemistry resource on redox titration calculations. The editable worksheet is differentiated with each section increasing in difficulty. Students complete titration calculations based on the redox chemistry of potassium permanganate, sodium dichromate, sodium thiosulfate etc. The resource contains one of every type of titration question they need to answer in an exam. Answers are included. Worksheet takes a double lesson for students to complete.
Electrolysis
A knowledge organiser on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Is suitable for the new AQA GCSE 2018 syllabus (from the chapter “Chemical changes”). Contains information on electrolysis of molten ionic compounds like lead bromide, the electrolysis of aluminium oxide and also the electrolysis of aqueous solutions like sodium chloride (brine.) Includes explanations on what happens at the electrodes (oxidation/reduction), the ionic equations involved, and for aqueous solutions, explanations of why we get hydrogen instead of the metal if the metal is the most reactive etc.
Our evolving atmosphere
A bundle of resources on the atmosphere. A rank the definition activity encourages class discussion on how to define the atmosphere. Also included, a group relay activity where students in their groups have to answer questions on how the Earth's atmosphere has changed from the past till present. Students answer each question in turn and can only have a go at the next question once the teacher has confirmed their answer is correct. The group quickest to complete the questions are the winners. Students love these relay activities, it encourages competition and team work and typically takes 10 mins to complete.
Christmas activity - Atomic structure advent calendar
A Christmas advent calendar activity on atomic structure. Is an editable Power Point file with revision questions on the GCSE chemistry atomic structure. There are 25 revision questions in the form of an advent calendar. Could be used as a starter or a plenary quiz. Just click on the screen and the next numbered question appears.
Structure and Bonding extended writing grid
A GCSE Chemistry extended writing grid which helps students plan an extended answer about bonding. Students use the keywords on the grid to plan and then write an answer to the question about the differences between the different types of structures and bonding. The words have been carefully selected so that students know which words they need to include to gain mastery in the question. Focuses on tier 3 Science vocabulary.
Crude oil and fuels - structure strips
Structure strips for the AQA GCSE Chemistry topic “Crude oil and fuels”. Structure strips go into the margin of an exercise book and students write in their answers beside each question. This is one of a series of structure strips that I have made for the new 2016 GCSE specification. There are 28 questions within the structure strips and answers are included.
Alcohols and carboxylic acids knowledge organiser
A knowledge organiser on the AQA GCSE topic organic reactions . Covers the structure, reactions and uses of the alcohols and carboxylic acids.
Equilibrium knowledge organiser
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on equilibrium. Covers knowledge on Le Chatelier’s principle, examples of how equilibrium is affected, equations for Kc and Kp, partial pressure, mole fraction etc. Also information on the Haber process and the Haber compromise, dynamic equilibrium etc. A comprehensive organiser that covers everything that students need to know on equilibrium in year 12 and 13.
Atomic Structure and Periodic table knowledge organiser
An A-Level Chemistry Knowledge organiser on topic 1 Atomic structure and periodic table. Covers information on structure of the atom, key definitions (RAM, RMM, Relative isotopic mass, Isotopes, first ionisation energy etc), Mass Spectrometry (using spectra to determine RAM), trends in ionisation energy, Using successive ionisation energies to determine the group an element is in given , electronic configuration (s,p,d), 1st ionisation energies across a period as evidence for subshells, periodicity (how type of bonding is linked to melting points) and emission spectrum.
Chemical Equilibria Kp
An A-Level Chemistry resource on calculating Kp (gaseous equilibria.) Requires students to calculate Kp using mole fractions and partial pressure. Answers are included. Starts with questions on the basics, calculating mole fraction and partial pressure. Then the questions increase in difficulty to exam standard Kp questions. The editable resource takes about a double lesson for students to complete and gives an example of every type of exam question that can come up on Kp.
Bundle
Preparation of a pure organic liquid
A bundle of resources on the A-Level chemistry required practicals “preparation of a pure organic liquid”. In the A-level exams students will be tested on an organic preparation and this resource helps prepare students for any of the options that could come up in the exam. There are a set of 6 knowledge organisers based on the following practicals: Oxidation of ethanol, oxidation of butan-2-ol, preparation cyclohexene, preparation of iodobutane, preparation of bromobutane and chlorination of 2-methyl-propan-2-ol. Each knoweldge organiser contains the method, apparatus diagram and additional information about the purpose of refluxing, distillation , washing, drying etc. Each step in the practical is explained.
