These are the answers to my previously posted sheets which when answered summarise the whole of the iGCSE Chemistry course, with one sheet per topic.
They can be used one at a time, at the end of a topic, or at the end of the year as a revision resource
Obviously they don´t go into as much detail as past paper questions but they do provide a basic summary of questions that students must know the answers to in each topic.
Nine homework projects for the Exploring Science 7 scheme of work.
7A - Cells
7B - Reproduction

7E - Acids and Alkalis
7F - Simple Chemical Reactions
7H - Solutions
7I - Energy Resources
7J - Electricity in the Home
Recycling
Each project comes with a level ladder style success grid for students to maximise their learning

Scheme of work planned for the IGCSE acids and bases unit, but could be modified for other exam boards.
The scheme includes PowerPoints, activities, practicals and worksheets and was planned to take up to 7 lessons. The PowerPoint on soluble salts covers making soluble salts in 3 different ways and so will take 3 lessons.
Topics:
- Acids, bases and salts
- Preparation of Soluble Salts - metal + acid, metal oxide + acid and acid + alkali
- Preparation of Insoluble salts
- Acidic, basic and amphoteric oxides
8 lesson scheme of work planned for KS3 Chemistry - covers material in 9E and 9F on the reactions of metals and metal compounds and the reactivity series.
The scheme of work includes PowerPoints, worksheets, activities and practicals, with each lesson featuring a differentiated task (levels 4-8), enabling all students to make progress.
Scheme of work planned for the iGCSE Air and Water Unit. The scheme of work contains PowerPoints, worksheets, activities, experiments, homework and an assessment.
Topics covered:
- Water
- Composition of Air
- Pollution
- Catalytic Converters
- Gas Tests
This scheme of work was planned as part of the iGCSE course, but could be used for other courses. It includes PowerPoints, activities, experiments, homework and formative assessment resources.
The topics covered are:
- Elements, compounds and mixtures
- Atomic Structure
- Isotopes
- Ionic and Covalent Bonding
- Conservation of Mass and Balancing Equations
This unit was planned as part of the iGCSE scheme of work (Unit 16) but would be suitable for other courses. It includes PowerPoint presentations, formative assessment activities, experiments, homework and an assessment.
The topics covered are:
- Crude Oil and Hydrocarbons
- Alkanes
- Alkenes
- Alcohols
- Ethanol
- Carboxylic Acids
- Esters
Three homework projects for the Exploring Science 7 scheme of work on Acids and alkalis, Simple chemical reactions and Solutions
Each project comes with a level ladder style success grid for students to maximise their learning
These revision sheets were designed for year 9 Chemistry pre-iGCSE scheme of work and could be used as revision for the Cambridge Checkpoint Science 9 Chemistry topics.
They may also be useful as revision for weaker GCSE students
Topics: Atomic Structure; Energy Changes; Rates of Reactions; Acids, Bases and Salts; Reactions of metals
These three 2 week KS3 scheme of work were designed to take 4x100 minute lessons each. The aim of the projects were to guide students to research, test, ´market´ and evaluate their own product. These products were a fertiliser, a chemical hand-warmer and a mobile phone chargers.
The lessons are broken down as follows:
Lesson 1 - Research and Planning
Lesson 2 - Testing options
Lesson 3 - Product Design
Lesson 4 - Pitching the design to peers and evaluation
Originally designed to link Science with Business and Enterprise, they could also be used to encourage the use of transferable skills in science, and would make independent and interactive ´end of year´ activities.
