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 :)
ere’s a really engaging activity that encourages students to practice their using the W = m x g calculations.
The activity includes:
10 calculation cards: each with a different scenario that requires students to calculate either mass, weight or gravitational field strength.
2 additional challenge cards
A worksheet that could be printed to help organise their answers
An answer sheet for checking work at the end of the activity.
This active task would suit any KS3 class and possibly a lower set KS4 class.
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:

Here’s complete lesson on the Paper Chromatography . It fits in well with the GCSE AQA required practical and includes the following:
Retrieval questions & answers
Key terms activity with answers
Comprehension Worksheet (including questions & answers)
Method for the practical
Exam question plenary
This lesson would work well with my Chromatograpghy RP Method and Questions sheets!
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 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.
