Here’s a worksheet bundle that can be used before, during and after the ‘Paper Chromatography’ required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses. Included in the bundle is a Method worksheet that contains: A table for results A checklist for equipment needed AQA style method. The worksheet includes sections on: Background information on Chromatography Key definitions An equipment labelling activity An extended Exam style question Shorter Exam style questions The resource also has QR codes that can be scanned to take students to useful webpages or videos that will help them with the sheet.

Here’s a really useful summary resource that can be used to help students learn the tests for different ions and also the positive results of each test. I used this in my classroom to help prepare students for a 6-mark extended question on ion testing and it really helped them to remember the details of the more difficult tests. This resource includes a foldable sheet with different tabs for each test and an inner, central, section for students to colour in the positive results of flame tests & precipitate tests. I’ve also added extension tasks that can be used to push higher attaining students. Answers are also included. Feedback is always appreciated :)

The tests and results for identifying Cations (and later Anions) are one of the hardest topics for students to remember - partly because there are so many different results! I find that the more practice students get the better. Here’s a resource that can be used when learning or revising the tests, symbols and results. There are three different worksheets included to help differentiate with your classes. I’ve also added in some extension questions based on previous exam questions from AQA. There’s an additional sheet with the correct tests to support teachers that may be teaching out of specialism. Feedback is always appreciated!

It fits in well with the AQA required practical and includes the following: Retrieval questions & answers Key terms activity with answers Think/Pair/Share task Worked example on the outcomes of aqueous solutions Practical looking at four aqueous solutions Mini whiteboard check plenary This lesson works well when combined with my Electrolysis RP worksheet: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/electrolysis-rp-aqa-9-1-12623495

Here’s complete lesson that introduces students to the key details of reversible reactions. It fits in well with the AQA curriculum and also covers the hydration of anhydrous copper sulfate as an example. Retrieval questions & answers Key terms activity with answers Detailed explanation of reversible reaction Mini whiteboard check of key principles Case study and questions Exam question plenary Feedback is always appreciated :)

Here’s a lesson I use to introduce students to the theory of neutralisation and also the method used to make soluble salts. The lesson involves the following learning stages: Linked starter questions & answers Theory of naming salts Task on naming salts (+ extension task) Video link covering the method of making soluble salts Practice exam question & markscheme This lesson pairs well with my practical worksheet: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/making-soluble-salts-rp-9-1-aqa-12608889

Here’s complete lesson on titration calculations. It fits in well with the AQA required practical and includes the following: Starter questions & answers A step-by-step worked through example Practice questions & answers Exam style practice question Calculation based plenary. This lesson would work well with my required practical worksheet: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/acid-base-titration-rp-9-1-aqa-12619799

Here’s a lesson that acts as a suitable introduction to titrations. The lesson covers: Titration method Equipment End points Indicators Method for a practical Follow up questions for the practical The lesson is based around an RSC practical and provides several opportunities for think-pair-share work or targeted questioning. Feedback is always appreciated!

This lesson covers the basic mechanism of electrolysis and links it with the extraction of aluminium and the electrolysis of hydrochloric acid.
