This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.3 n and o of the OCR A level Chemistry specification- Neutralisation. The lesson opens by considering the use of a pH meter to track a neutralisation reaction. This also includes data for plotting a pH curve. It then moves on to looking at the end point of a titration as well as the equivalence point. It explains the colour change that occurs at the end point and why it happens. The final part of the lesson considers different indicators and how to choose which would be the best to use for each titration. The final activity is an exam question. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so most of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.

A complete lesson covering section 5.5.1 of the AQA trilogy GCSE specification- energy changes in reactions. It covers: Endothermic and exothermic reactions Calculating energy changes Energy changes RPA It includes a multiple choice section and lots of exam questions Answers provided

This is a complete lesson covering points 5.2.2 a-f of the OCR Chemistry specification- Entropy and free energy The less starts by introducing the concept of entropy and the effect that changing state, dissolving and producing a gas have on the value. It then looks at calculating entropy changes.It the looks at Gibbs free energy and how this can be calculated including the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions. The lesson follows an explicit instruction model with lots of opportunities for i do, we do, you do All answers included I am to reduce photocopying so all activities are within the PPT (30 slides in total)

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 6.2.2 a, b c and d of the OCR chemistry specification- amino acids, amides and chirality. The lesson starts by looking at the structure of amino acids. It then looks at the reactions of amino acids with bases, other acids and alcohol. This includes practice at drawing the structures of the various products produced. The lesson then moves to amides including the various ways of naming them. The last part of the lesson looks at chirality and the effect of different optical isomers when used in medicine. The lesson includes lots of independent tasks All answers provided I aim to actively reduce photocopying so all activities are within the PPT which is 40 slides long

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 covering section 5.2.3 a- e of the OCR Chemistry specification - redox reactions and carrying out redox titrations. The lesson opens with a reminder of oxidation numbers from year 12. It then looks at reducing and oxidising agents using an example to reinforce the idea. The lesson then moves onto how half equations can be used to construct overall equations for reactions, again with students led practice. It then looks at using oxidation numbers to complete equations, including when some species are missing from the equation (such as water) . The final part of the lesson looks at redox titrations including both how to carry them out as well as various examples of calculation including calculating purity and using it to work out water of crystalisation. The lesson includes worked examples and student independent practice. I aim to reduce copying so all activities are within the PowerPoint- 36 slides in total

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5 b and c- further organic synthesis. The lesson covers a variety of skills needed for organic synthesis: identifying functional groups Identifying synthetic routes Completing flow charts showing synthetic routes Recalling and using reagents and conditions Drawing reaction mechanisms including curly arrows The lesson is a mixture of student activities and teacher led worked examples All answers included i aim to reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PPT (47 slides in total)

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 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 complete lesson revising section 5.6 of the AQA trilogy GCSE specification- rates of reaction and equilibrium. The lesson covers a range of retrieval activities including activation energy, the role of catalysts and calculating Mr. The lesson also includes lost of exam practice including questions on the required practicals from rates and examples of the 6 mark style longer answer question. All answers included

A complete lesson covering how to calculate bond energies. This lesson would support both the trilogy GCSE and the separate Chemistry course. The lesson starts with a retrieval starter covering a variety of topics form molecules 1-4 with answers It then recaps endo and exothermic reactions with examples including a video It then covers what is meant by a bond energy using a variety of examples. Students then work through some examples The lesson then moves onto calculating overall energy changes in reactions before going through some examples. There are then some independent examples for students to work through with answers The lesson finishes with some exam question examples All resources provided

A revision Powerpoint taking students through how to do a titration along with worked examples of the accompanying calculations and the chance for students to practice themselves. Included are differentiated exam questions aimed at grade 4/5 and 7/8

A revision Powerpoint covering the remaining calculations from AQA C3- gas calculations, atom economy and percentage yield. It includes a starter drawing on previous revision lessons, worked examples and opportunities for student practice with answers. This is the third in a a set of 3 Powerpoints covering the content of AQA C3. It is designed to be used, with the other Powerpoints, along side another of my resources the CS summary sheet.

A leveled resourced suitable for all abilities aimed at supporting GCSE students with revision for the topic Acids and Bases. It includes a brief introduction with background information then a series of tasks to cover all the learning points from both the single Chemistry and combined science GCSE courses.
