AQA GCSE chemistry - Unit 3 - Lesson 6 concentration, solution, solvent solute and calculations
This is a very chunky powerpoint lesson covering concentrations and solutions questions.
Includes full lesson powerpoint and a number of different worksheets with answers in word and pdf format and a practical activity which is also used to recap uncertainty (a concept from earlier in the unit).
Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make the new GCSE in chemistry engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time!
The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist.
These resources have been prepared for the new GCSE science examination specifications that are new for first teaching in 2016.
Get ahead with year 9 or use to plan your schemes of work for September. Buy individual resources or a set of lessons.

AQA A-level Chemistry 3.3.10 Amines, naming and reactions - Full Unit Workbook with Answers
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.1.10 Amines - Lesson or Revision workbook and notes with answers
This workbook covers a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell Style note taking so the books can be used while you teach and students can add their own notes and ideas down the margin.
I have used colour consistently for the different types of sections to make the booklet more dyslexia friendly as I have found that chemistry notes and questions can often be very dense, and somewhat inaccessible for students who have dyslexia.
The workbook can also be produced as a revision guide for the topic and contains all the notes and practice past paper questions you would need to revise along with worked examples. Parent and student friendly.
This booklet is 20 pages long with answers to past paper questions provided at the back from page 16 onwards. It is provided in word and pdf.
