Information sheet on how the structure and bonding of ionic, covalent and metallic compounds influence their properties. Each section includes an example exam question. Designed for AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy C3 topic (Structure, Bonding & Properties of Matter). Could be used as part of an independent learning task.

Basic lesson on calcluating relative atomic mass (Ar) for AQA GCSE Chemistry/Combined Science Quantitative Chemistry (Calculations) unit. I have not included correcting answers to the right amount of significant figures on slide 8 as I know some people may not want to discuss this yet, you can change them to the correct number of SF if you wish.

A practice sheet for calculating percentage by mass, atom economy and percentage yield in GCSE Chemistry (Separate/Triple). Answers are included.

Worksheet with info and questions on the Haber Process (answers included).

A team challenge I created for my Y9 group at the end of C1 and C2, to recap both topics and to finish off the year. You could also use it at the start/middle of Y10 to recap what they have already done from GCSE. The challenges include making a model atom out of copper wire and mini marshmallows and modelling halogen displacement using lego bricks - you may wish to change these activities if you don’t have the resources to hand. The image I used in the corridor was a C1/C2 summary sheet (from TES). All images on the Element Zoo sheet are CC0 (free for commercial use, no attribution required). Enjoy!

Sheet to be used with an information hunt/research activity on polymers.

Graded task on solutions and solubility.

These work like dominoes - students match the keyword with its correct definition, creating a loop. Covers pure and impure substances, separating mixtures and solubility.

Calculations practice for reacting masses/amounts of substances. AQA Quantitative Chemistry (Calculations) topic.

Basic lesson on how to balance equations (with worked examples), conservation of mass, and state symbols in symbol equations.

Research sheet on solubility and solutions that could be used with either an information hunt, laptops or textbooks.

Filtration card sort used with KS3.

Students sort the 4 steps (white) of a paper chromatography method into the correct order, and match them with 4 explanations (blue) for why things are done this way.

Revision sheet with answers for triple/separate Chemistry Only content from AQA GCSE Chemistry, Chemical Analysis topic. Includes flame tests, flame emission spectroscopy/flame photometry, metal hydroxide, halide, carbonate, sulfate.

I created this workbook for my students when studying crude oil (hydrocarbons, alkanes/alkenes, displayed/molecular/general/empirical formulae, properties of hydrocarbons e.g. boiling point/viscosity/flammability, complete/incomplete combustion, cracking and testing for alkenes). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, plus practice questions. There is a section for students to write down key definitions (most of these are indicated clearly within the text). I hope it is useful for you!

I created this workbook for my students when studying energy changes (exothermic/endothermic reactions, uses/applications, energy level diagrams, breaking/making bonds, bond energy/overall energy change calculations, planning to investigate temperature change). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, and lots of practice questions. There is a section for students to write down key definitions (most of these are indicated clearly within the text). I hope it is useful for you!

I created this workbook for my students when studying atmosphere (composition of the early and modern atmospheres, greenhouse effect, global warming & climate changes, carbon footprint and atmospheric pollution). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, and some practice questions. There is a section for students to write down key definitions (most of these are indicated clearly within the text). I hope it is useful for you!

I created this workbook for my students when studying atomic structure (atoms, symbols, electronic structure/configuration, isotopes, relative atomic mass, history of the atom/atomic models, alpha scattering experiment, ions). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, and lots of practice questions. There is a section for students to write down key definitions (most of these are indicated clearly within the text). A revision sheet that goes with the booklet is also included. I hope they are useful for you!
