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 ionic bonding and ionic radius. A Year 12 BTEC lesson designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Lesson covers what an ionic bond is, drawing dot and cross diagrams and factors that impact the strength of an ionic bond. Includes questions for students to do on the slides. No printing required.

A lesson on the reactions of elements and oxygen. Designed for Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Applied Science Unit 1 (Principles and Applications of Science I). Includes writing equations and determining the formulas of oxides for elements in Periods 2 and 3. Includes questions (with answers) for students to complete on the slides. No printing required.

A Powerpoint presentation covering properties of alkanes from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers bonding in alkanes, trends in boiling points and combustion of alkanes. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A Powerpoint presentation covering structural isomers from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers what is a structural isomer, how to find isomers from molecular formula and how to find isomers from percentage composition by mass. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A worksheet covering moles and concentration calculations for separate chemistry, higher paper, Edexcel 9-1. Includes relative formula mass, concentration (g/dm3), concentration (mol/dm3), moles, and moles to particles calculations. Useful as a revision tool.

A lesson on alcohols designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. A lesson on alcohols – naming them, drawing their structures and how alcohols are made using fermentation. Includes exam questions on slides. No printing required.

A lesson on condensation polymers designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The Power Point covers how polyesters are formed, it compares condensation polymers with addition polymers and address problems with disposal of polymers.

A worksheet (and key) containing empirical formula calculations. Includes finding empirical formula from molecular formula, molecular formula from empirical formula, empirical formula from reacting masses, empirical formula from percentage composition and writing a balanced equation from reacting masses. Designed as a revision aid for higher attainers and the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson on addition polymers designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. Lesson covers what an addition polymer is, examples of mononmers/polymers, drawing monomers/polymers and properties and uses of addition polymers. Includes exam questions and factsheets.

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 Power Point lesson for the early and changing atmosphere. For Edexcel GCSE 9-1 spec. Covers what gases are in the atmosphere and how the formation of oceans and plants changed the atmosphere.

A lesson on molarity designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson reviews mole calculations, explains how to calculate molarity and how to convert between concentration in moles/dm3 and grams/dm3. Contains bronze/silver/gold tasks (with answers on the next slide) for students to carry out for each calculation. No printing required.

Includes two Power Points on ions and ionic bonding. Could be used as two lessons or condensed into one depending on the ability of the group. Ions lesson covers: what is an ion, how ions are formed in terms of electrons, how to calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an ion. Ionic boding lesson covers: when do ionic bonds form, what is an ionic bond and dot and cross structures. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification but would work for other exam boards as well.

A lesson on metallic bonding designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers the properties of metals, what metallic bonding is and explanations of the properties of metals.

A lesson covering the properties of simple covalent compounds designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers the properties of covalent compounds, an explanation of why the compounds have these properties and a short practical. Slides also have exam questions for students to work through.

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.
