fill in sheet for the reactions required on the Edexcel A2 specification

Aims: Know some of the uses of the different types of chromatography; Be able to analysis a chromatogram.

Expert groups lesson to research reactions and feed back in groups. Good to lead up to past paper question. Please comment and rate if you use.

I use this for lesson 1 of Unit 1 organic chemistry - progressing to isomerism in second lesson.

Lime cycle/ limestone revision activities.

aims: writing equations; Complete metal hydroxide reaction (neutralisation).

I brief run through of the types of chromatography required for A2.

lots of good activities to do

Introduces the four different levels of structure of proteins and asks questions to get pupils to think about the chemistry.

This works really well. Just print off a selection of NMR, IR and mass spectra and pupils write exam questions and mark schemes (easy to differentiate). They then swap and try each others exam questions.

includes questions on: molar mass amount of substance mass and moles avagadros constant my top set enjoyed this, they were worried about this part of the course

Students need to know their AS reactions before analysing mass spectra.

looks at different methods of extraction, reactivity series. Good weblink for extraction of aluminium.

lesson including activities to cover both of these topics

Task to cover topics: Relative formula mass Empirical formula % composition by mass Use balanced equations to calculate masses of reactants and products Yields

challenging test - looks at mechanisms and mass spec - year 12 teat

a quick reference sheet for new year 12's to help with learning to name organic compounds

a good quick test to check understanding. easy to quality mark.

explaining how to increase gas pressure

runs through types, mechanisms, properties and uses. Activity looking at life cycle and recycling.
