All resources
Organic apparatus
An Organic Chemistry activity on the apparatus used in Organic experiments. Includes diagrams of apparatus including reflux, distillation, steam distillation, separating funnel, buchner filtration (under reduced pressure), drying and a thiele melting point tube. Students have to add the correct labels to the apparatus. Answers are included to all diagrams.
Chlorination of 2-methylpropan-2-ol
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylpropane” which is one of the** required practicals for A-Level Chemistry**. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, washing, drying and redistillation. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.
Preparation of cyclohexene
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, washing, drying and redistillation. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.
Preparation of 1-bromobutane
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of 1-bromobutane”. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, reflux, distillation, washing, drying and redistillation. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.
Bundle
Organic chemistry knowledge organisers
A bundle of 3 knowledge organisers on the AQA GCSE topic organic chemistry and a large A3 poster of the whole content of the GCSE organic chemistry. The 1st is on crude oil and the reactions of the hydrocarbons (alkanes and alkenes), the 2nd on alcohols and carboxylic acids and the 3rd on Polymers (addition, condensation polymerisation, polysaccharides, amino acids and DNA). The Poster is a combination of all the information they need to know from the three organic chemistry topics, all on one A3 poster. Contains all the key information from the AQA new 2016 GCSE syllabus for the triple science organic chemistry topic.
Making a soluble salt - activities
Two activities to go with the GCSE Chemistry required practical “Making a soluble salt”. The first is a hexagon challenge activity in which students have to make connections between the apparatus used and method. Is an activity that promotes stretch and challenge. The second is a cut and stick which requires students to correctly label the apparatus in the correct order.
Inorganic qualitative tests
A knowledge organiser on inorganic qualitiative tests including cation flame tests, tests for the magnesium and ammonium cations, the sulfate and carbonate anions, halides tests (silver nitrate, displacement and reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid.) The knowledge organiser also includes relevant ionic equations where applicable.
Paper Chromatography knowledge organiser
A Knowledge organiser on the AQA GCSE topic Paper chromatography. Contains all the information they need to know on the method, apparatus, mobile/stationary phases, calculating Rf values etc. includes examples of chromatograms. The resource is editable and can be printed out on A3 paper for the students to revise from. Suitable for the new 2018 GCSE.
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.
Acid and base equilibria - buffer calculations
A resource on the A-Level Chemistry topic "Acid and base equilibria" focussing on buffer calculations. This editable resources contains several sections of increasing difficulty. There are examples of many different types of exam questions that students could get in an exam. Takes about a double lesson to complete. Answers are included.
Electrolysis worksheet
A worksheet on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Contains questions on the apparatus used, oxidation & reduction, ionic equations, electrolysis of lead bromide, aluminium oxide and aqueous solutions. Answers are included.
Parts per million
An Alevel Chemistry resource on calculating very low concentrations of solutions. The worksheet includes questions (and also worked examples which help the students complete the worksheet). Questions on calculating concentration in ppm (parts per million), mass of ions, avagodro’s constant, number of ions etc.) Answers are included.
Ecell knowledge organiser
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on Electrochemical cells. The file is editable and contains the theory behind Electrochemical cells and their calculations. Includes diagrams, equations and information on the hydrogen half cell, reduction potentials, strength of reducing agents, oxidising agents, how to draw electrochemical cells and represent them in cell diagrams.
Titration hexagons
A challenging activity on the method of titration. Students have to link the keywords about titrations in the hexagons together. Helps students make connections between the apparatus used. For e.g, why a white tile is used, how the use of the indicator is linked to both the conical flask and the white tile. It is very challenging and really gets students thinking about how the apparatus connect together. Takes about 20 mins to complete and answers are included. Is an excellent activity as it really challenges students knowledge of titrations.
Electrolysis quiz
A traffic lights quiz on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Can be used as a plenary to test students knowledge. Includes questions on electrolysis, electrolytes, anode, cathode, oxidation, reduction and ionic equations. Suitable for the new 2018 GCSE specifications. Answers are included.
Kinetic energy calculations
A GCSE physics resource on calculating kinetic energy. The worksheet is differentiated and gets more difficult as you move through each section, starts with practice on rearranging the equestion, and changing the units. The contains some basic calculations, finishing with harder exam style questions. Takes about 30 mins for students to complete. Answers are provided.
Bundle
Shapes of molecules bundle
A bundle of three resources on shapes of molecules. theres a set of cue cards, an information sheet on how to calculate electron pair repulsion theory and then a worksheet requiring students to input information on number of lone pairs, bond pairs, bond angles and shape. Suitable for the new 2015 A-Level exams.
Bundle
AQA GCSE Chemistry paper 2 structure strips
A set of revision structure strips on the new AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus for paper 2. The structure strips fit into the margins of an exercise book and students write the answer to each question in the lines beside. 120 questions covers topics Rates and equilibrium, Crude oil and fuels, chemical analysis, The Earth’s atmosphere and The Earth’s resources. Answers to every question provided.
Preparation of iodobutane
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of iodobutane from reacting red phosophorus, iodine and butanol. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, reflux, washing, drying and redistillation. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.
Physics calculations: Forces in action
A worksheet on the AQA GCSE combined physics (trilogy) topic forces in action. Covers an example of the different types of forces calculations that students need to learn. Is a useful revision resource at the end of the topic enabling students to revise the practice the several equations that they need to learn. Answers are included.
