Teaching students to predict and explain the outcome of a change to a system at equilibrium is always tricky. So here’s a helpsheet that I use with students to guide them through the process. The double sided sheet includes: Step-by-Step guides to determining answers. Model answers A tool to visualise the change to the system Explanations of changes to temperature, pressure & concentration.

Here’s a worksheet that can be used as an introduction or summary to the ‘Making Copper sulfate salts’ required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses. The sheet includes sections on: Background information on neutralisation reactions Key definitions Word equations for making salts The method - including a list of key terms 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.

I always find teaching nanoparticles quite tricky, as students often don’t engage with the topic. Whilst searching for activities, I stumbled across a fantastic video that won best short film at the Scinema Science festival in 2010. This worksheet is designed to accompany the video and can be used as a task within the classroom or as an independent homework task. There’s an answer sheet included and also a section for students to write their answers. *I would suggest asking students to use headphones (if possible) whilst watching the video.

Here’s an activity that can be used to summarise the names and differences between Alkanes & Alkenes. This works well as a lesson activity or as a revision activity. Students should cut out each domino. Rearrange them so that the end of one leads into the start of another. Check their answers with you (answer sheet included in the resource) Stick the correct order into their book. Each domino also has a number on it so that a correct sequence can be written down, a process that doesn’t involve any cutting or sticking. This is useful approach for students that prioritise cutting/sticking over the actual activity.

This tarsia puzzle is designed to test students’ knowledge of homologous series and types of polymerisation. Students need to cut out each triangle. Triangles can be arranged to form a larger triangle. Students will know if they’ve been correct in their sorting if the statement on one side of a smaller triangle corresponds to the statement on the adjacent triangle. The resource is made to accompany the C8 (Organic Chemistry Unit) from the AQA GCSE 9-1 syllabus. Answers are included.

Here’s a worksheet that can be used as an introduction or summary to the Energy changes required practical for combined or separate chemistry courses. The sheet covers: Background informationn Key terms Energy level diagrams The method 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.

This helpsheet can be used to support KS3 or KS4 scientists in setting up and completing a lab report for an investigation. It contains guidance to each key part of a lab report and allows students to mark these off as they go along! The resource helps students with the following steps: Introduction Aim Hypothesis Method Tables for results Graphs for results Discussion & Conclusion

Here’s a guided worksheet to help mid-lower ability students with calculating Rf values for the chromatography practical. It can be a good idea to use this sheet whilst students are waiting for their results to develop during the practical or can be a stand alone worksheet.

Students always find predicting the products of electrolysis with aqueous solutions quite tricky - so I made this helpsheet to support my students until they were able to remember the rules themselves!

This worksheet is made to guide students through a practical that makes soluble Copper sulfate salts from Copper oxide & Sulfuric acid. This is designed for a lower ability group and includes key concepts that link with the AQA Trilogy Specification.
