Includes a starter, full notes, a practical with teacher and technician notes, various activities and a differentiated summary activity at the end. All answers are included Some slides have additional information to support delivery of the activities included

A full lesson covering section 4.1.1e of the OCR A level Chemistry specification- structural isomers. Contains full notes and worked examples covering the three ways that structural isomers can occur. The lesson contains a starter, various student activities as well as a differentiated summary activity at the end. All answers are included. Some slides have additional notes to support delivery of the content

A complete lesson taking students through the calculations for reacting masses Suitable for trilogy and separate chemistry It starts with practice of moles and molar calculations. It then demonstrates the idea of ratios using recipes for making cakes. There are then some worked examples for the whole class to do together plus some individual practice. The lesson closes with more students practice and then com exam questions. Updated 23/11/20 as my class requested more worked examples to do as a class All answers included

A complete lesson covering section 4.1.3c- Sterioisomerism. It includes E/Z isomers, Cis-Trans isomers and the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules to identify priority in E/Z isomers. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, diagrams of example isomers as well as photos of molecular models showing the isomers, various student activities and a fully differentiated summary at the end. All answers included Some slides have additional notes to support delivery

A complete lesson covering section 2.2.2 d-f of the OCR A level Chemistry specification- covalent bonding. This is the fourth lesson in the topic Electrons, Bonding and Structure. Covers what a covalent bond is, dot and cross diagrams, double and triple bonds, lone pairs and average bond enthalpy. It includes a full set of notes, various activities and differentiated summary questions at the end of the lesson. Some of the slides have additional information to support delivery of the lesson.

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.3 a-c of the OCR Chemistry specification- condensation polymerisation to form polyesters and polyamides. The lesson starts by recapping addition polymerisation for year 12. It then introduces condensation polymers. The lesson then goes through the formation of polyamides and polyesters using either one monomer or two. The lesson includes multiple opportunities for students to independently practice. The lesson then covers the hydrolysis of polymers to return to the original monomers. The final part of the lesson is practice at working out the original monomer using a digram of the original polymer. The lesson includes lots of independent tasks I aim to reduce photocopying so all activities and answers are in the PowerPoint- a total of 42 slides

A full lesson covering section 5.1.1.g and h of the OCR Chemistry specification as well as PAG 10.1- the use of rate and concentration graphs especially in clock reactions. It covers what a rate coneration graph is and how they can be used to work out both the order of reactant and the value of k for reactions. It introduces clock reactions and the method and analysis for PAG 10.1 The lesson includes a starter, full notes, student activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers included

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)

A complete lesson covering section 4.2.1 a of the OCR A level chemistry specification- properties of alcohols. It covers a reminder of the IUPAC nomenclature, the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, the trends in the main physical properties and the explanation of those trends. This is a free sample showing the quality and styling of the rest of my lessons. Please see my shop for more A level Biology and Chemistry resources. The lesson includes a revision starter, full notes, lots of independent student activities and a differentiated summary at the end All answers provided

PowerPoint recapping the main information for ionic and metallic bonding along with summary questions in the PPT with answers Includes starter activity with answers Also attached are a series of exam questions with answers. these are predominantly aimed at the 4/5 borderline
