A lesson on homologous series for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. The lesson covers what a homologous series is, what a general formula is and what it would be for compounds in a homologous series and how homologous compounds compare in terms of chemical and physical properties. This lesson is designed for combined science and does not cover topics from the separate science portion of the specification.

A lesson on what is a catalyst, how they speed up reactions and what an enzyme does (brief just includes what students need for the chemistry spec). Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification. Includes a practical that students can carry out.

A introduction to electrolysis lesson covering key words (e.g. anode, cathode, oxidation, reduction, electrolyte, etc), how to predict the product of electrolysis of a molten salt and how the ions move during electrolysis. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 Combined Science spec.

A lesson on the Haber Process designed for Edexcel 9-1 combined science . Includes higher only content. The lesson covers the formation of ammonia as an equilibrium process, applies Le Chatelier's principle to the synthesis of ammonia and discusses the conditions for the Haber Process.

A lesson on empirical formulas. It covers the method of finding an empirical formula by experiment, how to calculate the empirical formula from reacting masses and percentage composition and how to write a balanced equation from the reacting masses (this last topic is higher only). Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson covering the causes of acid rain, the problems caused by acid rain and the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen fuel cells compared to petrol in cars. Slides with exam questions for the new spec are included. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 combined science course --the triple only content on fuel cells is not included.

A lesson on the sodium hydroxide cation tests designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. Covers how to carry out the practical --sodium hydroxide test and test for ammonia and ionic equations for these reactions. No printing required.

A collection of 13 starters for the Edexcel 9-1 specification on all of the separate chemistry 2 topics (alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, polymers, materials, ion tests and nanoparticles). Each starter contains a bronze/silver/gold set of questions. The next slide contains the answers.

A lesson on the different forms of carbon - diamond, graphite, graphene and buckminster fullerene. Slides could be used to present lesson at the front or used as factsheets to allow students to design a poster on the different forms of carbon. Includes concise slides on each form of carbon, exam questions and links to videos. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification.

A lesson on recycling and lifecycle assessment for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers what recycling is, the advantages and a 6 mark question on recycling. Then the lesson goes over the 4 stages of a lifecycle assessment and students use factsheets to fill in a worksheet on the stages. Students then can apply this to make a lifecycle assessment on window frames.

A lesson on ores and extracting metals for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. The lesson covers what is an ore and the different methods of extracting metals. A set of factsheets ( tailored to the Edexcel 9-1 spec) is included.

A lesson covering what a lattice structure is, the difference between -ate and -ide and how to write the formula of a salt. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson covering the properties of ionic compounds designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Includes the properties of ionic compounds, gap fills (on the Power Point) on explanations of the properties, exam questions on slides and a practical (students investigate the conductivity of salt solutions).

A lesson that covers ions. It goes through how to predict the charge of an ion using the periodic table, formulae for common ions to learn, -ate v -ide and how to write the formulae of an ionic compound. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A lesson that covers atomic structure. It goes through protons, neutrons and electrons; what an isotope is and how to work out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom and ion. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A Power Point lesson on Electronic Configuration for the GCSE Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers the rules for placing electrons into shells and how electronic configuration links to the periodic table.

A Power Point lesson covering atomic number and mass number for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Also includes a selection of worksheets that involve getting students to work out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons from the atomic number and mass number

A Power Point that will serve as a full lesson on atomic structure for the Edexcel 9-1 Spec. Covers the parts of an atom, the relative masses and charges of protons, neutrons & electrons and the scale of an atom.

A lesson on bond enthalpy designed for OCR A level chemistry specification. The lesson covers what an average bond enthalpy is, the link between bond making and bond breaking and endo and exothermic, and how to calculate an energy change from bond energies. Exam questions and answers are provided on the slides.

A PowerPoint covering States of Matter for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE spec. Includes links to a video, exam questions and information slides.
