Acids, titrations and redox OCR AS Chemistry

This bundle is ideal for classroom or home learning and covers the whole of the OCR A level chemistry specification sections 2.1.4 – Acids and 2.1.5 − Redox
Each topic includes a fully interactive PowerPoint including starter, group activities, questions and plenary along with a worksheet and a lesson plan. Answers to all exercises are provided. Some of the resources include a PowerPoint quiz. A practical activity on titration is also included.
This bundle is the third in a series covering the OCR AS Chemistry specification and relates to the following sections:

Module 2 – Foundations in chemistry
Part 1 – Atoms and reactions
