I am a chemistry teacher, I spend lots of time making resources and decided to share them here on TES. Most are free or have free sample versions, but the best and most detailed ones that I'm particular proud of I sell for around £2-£5.

This is a resource pack for the Relative Formula Mass calculations.
I have made a range of resources for the calculations that AQA GCSE students will be expected to complete for the new Chemistry specification (8462).
The resources packs contain
1. PowerPoint showing the key stages/background information on the calculation.
2. Word document worksheet with some questions for the students to attempt, whenever possible these are based on exam questions.
3. WMV video clip this format is playable in most programs, such as RealPlayer, MPlayer, Windows Media Player, and the VLC Media Player. The video clip goes through the stages of the calculations on the worksheet, this is extremely useful for students (and teachers) who are struggling to see where the answer comes from.
4. Word document containing just the answers.
There are a total of 6 resource packs for the Relative Formula Mass calculations.
