A lesson on gas volumes and calculations designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. Lesson goes over what molar volume of a gas is, how to calculate the volume of a gas from moles (and vice versa) and how to apply gas volumes to reacting mass calculations. Contains exam questions and calculation questions for students to complete on the Power Point with answers – no printing required. Update: Optional worksheet included if you want to print it out to give students extra practice – I used it as a starter for the following lesson.

A lesson on oxidation, reduction and corrosion designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Lesson covers what is rusting, what iron needs to rust, how rusting can be prevented and the difference between rusting and corrosion. Lesson then defines oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen and asks students to apply that to some equations. Then the lesson goes on to cover the higher only content on oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons.

A lesson on pure and impure substances. The lesson covers what the terms mean, particle diagrams for each and how to determine purity using data. It also covers the meaning of a formulation. Questions and answers provided on slides – no need to print. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE specification.

A lesson on bioleaching and phytomining. It covers what the methods are and their advantages/disadvantages. Links to videos and suggested tasks are included such as filling in a table, answering questions or drawing cartoons of the methods. Questions and answers are included in the slides – no need to print. Designed for the AQA GCSE 9-1 specification.

A Powerpoint presentation on addition polymers from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers what an addition polymer is, drawing polymers from monomers (and vice versa) and disposing of polymers. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson on the Law of Conversation of Mass for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers what is the Law of Conservation of Mass, how to apply the law to calculate the mass in exam questions and how to prove the law of conservation of mass using moles. Contains exam questions through the presentation for students to work on without printing or you can use the word document included and print those questions out for students to work through.

A Powerpoint presentation covering stereoisomers from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers bonding in alkenes, cis/trans isomers and E/Z isomers. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson on condensation polymers designed for the new OCR A level spec. Includes what a condensation polymer is, what are polyesters and polyamides, how to draw polymers from monomers, how to draw monomers from polymers and the products of hydrolysis of polyesters and polyamides. Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.

A lesson on amines and amides designed for the new OCR A level spec. Includes making aliphatic amines from ammonia, making aromatic amines from nitrobenzene and making amides from acyl chlorides. Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.

A lesson on reacting oxidation and reduction. Designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Lesson covers assigning oxidation states, the meaning of oxidation and reduction and how to identify what has been oxidised or reduced in a reaction. Includes questions for students to complete on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on materials for the Edexcel 9-1 separate sciences specification. Covers the properties of different materials (ceramics, composites, glass) and asks students to choose the best material for a given use from data provided. Includes exam questions or exam-style questions on the slides. No printing required.

A Powerpoint presentation covering free radical substitution from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers what is homolytic fission, steps in a free radical substitution reaction and why free radical substitution leads to a mixture of products. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson on corrosion and electroplating designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what corrosion is, how rusting of iron can be prevented and how electroplating works. Includes a link to a video, gap fills and exam questions for students to complete – no printing required.

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 on mass spectrometry designed for OCR A level. Lesson includes what a M+ peak is, how to calculate the empirical formula using a M+ peak and percentage composition, fragmentation patterns and exam questions on identifying alcohols and alkanes from a mass spectrum. Includes a handout of the mass spectra used in the lesson to print for students so they can annotate.
