A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5c of the OCR specification - testing for functional groups and PAG7.3 The lesson starts with reminders of the tests for the main functional groups in the OCR specification. Each one is set out with the same structure- first giving an opportunity for recall before revealing the answer. The lesson then introduces PAG7.3 (you will need to download the full details off the OCR interchange). After the practical there are a series of activities allowing students to apply what they have learned about the tests. These can be done individually or as a class. I am to actively reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PowerPoint (29 slides in total)

It also includes the other chemicals that may damage the ozone layer and the chemicals that are being used as an alternative. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student activities and a fully differentiated summary at the end. All answers included.

A full lesson covering section 5.1.1 i of the OCR a level chemistry specification- the rate determining step. It covers how to analyse results to calculate the order of reactants and how to use this to work our reaction mechanisms. There are worked examples allowing for a ‘I do- we do-you do’ style of delivery. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, worked examples, student activities and a differentiated summary at the end All answers included

A pair of lessons covering sections 5.2.3 f-i of the OCR Chemistry specification- electrode potentials The first lesson starts by looking at what half-cells are, how they are formed and the importance of salt bridges. It also covers how they can be used to measure standard electrode potentials. The lesson then covers half equations and using them to calculate the voltage of a electrochemical cell. The second lesson looks at the feasibility of reactions and how they can be predicted using half-cells. It also looks at the limitations of using electrode potentials to predict reactions Both lessons include lots of student independent work tasks and all answers are included I am to reduce photocopying so all activties are in the PPTs (30 slides and 25 slides each)

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5 a and b of the OCR chemistry specification- chemical analysis using thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography. The lesson starts by recapping some of the analytical techniques introduced in year 12. The lesson then moves on to TLC chromatography and how this can be used. This includes some exam questions and independent tasks The lesson then moves on to looking at gas chromatography again using lots of independent tasks to support understanding I am to reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PPT (37 slides in total)

A complete lesson revision module C8- chemical analysis from the AQA Trilogy combined course It covers chromatography, formulations and the gas tests via a series of retrieval activities as well as lots of exam practice. Includes the chromatography required practical. Some slides are animated with triggers to make the animation work- simply clock the boxes when showing the PPT and they will disappear All resources are in the PPT and all answers included

A PDF covering an 11 week revision plan covering all the topics in the OCR A Chemistry A level specification. Each week includes a blank mind map, a PLC for the specification points covered and exam questions. Each week there is either a retrieval quiz or a revision place mat to complete. The topics covered are: Reaction mechanisms 1 Rates and equilibria Foundations in chemistry pH and buffers Organic compounds Periodicity Reaction mechanisms 2 Enthalpy and energy Redox reactions, electrochemical cells and transition metals Synthesis Analysis Includes some resources that have been adapted from other free resources on TES
