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

an introduction to electrolysis and redox. ppt used to start lesson off and can either be followed by practical or more work on oilrig.

runs through the specification requirements. Contains a quick quiz and activities.

introduction ppt

I use this in conjunction with chromatography practical.

tutorial and w/s - usually takes 2 lessons

some practice questions

I set h/w to use books to make notes on the diazonium ion (will have interesting results). I start lesson by offering pupils a selection of sweets (including skittles) and then put up first slide. Would they allow their children to eat these sweets? after this lesson we do the prac to make an azo dye

I use this as a quick quiz at the end of teaching mechanisms, just to make sure there are no misconceptions.

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

i use this after I have covered collision theory - good task for high ability

tests basic organic chemistry knowledge and analysis of mass spectra

introduction to topic - good for start of lesson, followed by more examples.

ppt goes through problems caused by humans.

method for a quick and easy equilbria practical - very effective.

to help with low ability ionic bonding

Aims: Revise free radical substitution mechanism; Know the relevant reactions of alkanes.

used at the end of the last mechanism lesson in year 13 - reviews all knowledge on mechanisms from the A level course - sorts the men from the boys!

a run through of the different types of extraction depending on the reactivity of the metal

can be done in lesson time or as h/w - easy to quality mark!
