Having taught in the UK and abroad, I've experienced teaching many different syllabi including SABIS, AQA, WJEC and Cambridge. I develop resources to help teachers model key concepts, provide practice for students and include answers to help students self-assess their work. Planning for a 27 lesson week can be stressful to say the least, so I hope you find my resources useful. Thank you for choosing my lesson/s, I hope they enrich your teaching practice and make your life easier.

Covers the following learning objectives:
Describe the composition of crude oil.
Define what is meant by a hydrocarbon.
Define what is meant by an alkane. State the names and describe the first four alkanes.
Apply a general formula to generate a molecular formula and a displayed formula for a straight-chain alkane.
This GCSE chemistry resource bundle provides a comprehensive overview of crude oil, hydrocarbons, and their significance in everyday life. Designed to align with GCSE chemistry curricula, it features five engaging lessons that cover the composition, properties, and uses of hydrocarbons, along with key industrial processes. This bundle is perfect for teaching or revising these vital topics.
The bundle includes:
Crude Oil, Hydrocarbons, and Alkanes: Introduces the formation of crude oil, the structure and properties of hydrocarbons, and the classification of alkanes as saturated hydrocarbons.
Fractional Distillation, Fractions, and Uses of Fractions: Explains the fractional distillation process, how it separates crude oil into useful fractions, and the applications of these fractions in everyday life.
Properties of Hydrocarbons: Examines the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons, including boiling points, viscosity, and flammability, with links to their molecular structure.
Combustion of Hydrocarbons: Covers complete and incomplete combustion, the products formed, and the environmental implications of burning hydrocarbons.
Cracking Hydrocarbons: Explores the process of cracking, how it breaks down long-chain hydrocarbons into more useful smaller ones, and the importance of alkenes in the chemical industry.
How to use:
Each lesson includes starter activities, detailed explanations, diagrams, and exam-style questions to ensure students fully understand key concepts. Teachers can use this bundle for structured lessons or revision sessions. It provides a clear and engaging approach to learning about hydrocarbons, preparing students for exams while connecting classroom theory to real-world applications.
