PowerPoint for a lesson introducing ionic bonding to an AS class. Inlcudes activities for students to do and links to the OCR AS specification.

12 questions naming different structures using IUPAC for A Level chemistry students

This is the publisher file for a key chain made up of the reaction mechanisms needed for A Level chemistry. On one side is a description and on the other the mechanism so students can do retrieval practice anywhere.

A starter based on the quiz show only connect, each question has 4 elements all have something in common. The earlier a pattern is spotted the more points awarded. You don’t need to be scientific to take part and actually might help in some questions.

18 questions all requiring an organic molecule to be identified. Given is the Infra red the Mass Spec and the percentage compositions. SLOP for AS chemistry on all specifications.

A Poweproint that contains ten slides, on each slide is a Carbon NMR spectra and a choice of three compounds. Students then choose whohc of the three compounds could provide the spectra displayed. Works well as a starter or for students to practice.

14 organic synthesis reactions students can attempt to identify all 14 reactants before revealing the correct answers. table included allows students to keep track of which ones they are getting right and which ones they are forgetting each time.

52 structures that need identifying, start simple and get trickier and trickier as they go on. MS included. SO ideal just to give to students as practice and let them get on with it

This is a quick little table ideal for a starter or revision activity. The table had 4 columns formula name oxidation states tests for ions and students can cut out and arrange the answers themselves (already jumbled) or try and fill in the boxes without the squares for retrieval practice.

A short presentation on James Andrew Harris, an incredible chemist who found life difficult initially due to racist assumptions about his ability as a chemist but overcame to be part of the team that discovered two new elements
