v quick starter activity to check understanding of drawing and naming alkanes and alkenes.

fingerprint spectra - used as basis of discussion

Graph plotting activity - looking at bpt and bpt's and intermolecular forces.

looks at electronegativey, double bonds, electron density and then the mechanism Lots of activities - a very pacey lesson

I get the class to make a colourful A3 table with tests and expected results for all the homologous series. We also discuss how you tell the different between alcohols/acids and alkanes/alkenes using IR (give them copies of the spectra in ppt). This worked really well - I told them to stick the posters on the ceiling over their heads - lol

pupils work in groups of 4. 1st give them 4 cards with correct atomic structure, including electron shells and tell them to come up with rules. then give them 4 cards with incorrect atomic structure to test their rules. then they have to see if they need all the rules.... works a treat! please comment and rate if you use, thanks

Fill in sheet to go through all required equations

ppt going through distillation and separating immiscible liquids

activity to get students to work out how to draw the mechanism for initiation - good start to mechanism work

triminoes revision - 3 sided dominoes - good for starter or plenary, just print - cut out - mix up

used as group work with year 12 to look at different industrial equilibrium procesesses.

Year 13 test to check previous knowledge. Also looks at a range of reactions - synoptic!

Test looking at how the spectrometer works includes mark scheme

Fill in revision sheet, covering all required topics on the Edexcel AS specification.

looks at induced dipoles and then addition of bromine and chlorine water.

blockbusters - good fun for revision lesson! please comment and rate if you use, thanks

task to plan, carry out and write up practical for the Synthesis of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate

can be used as a starter/plenary/test when you are teaching pupils how to write formula.

Fill in sheet, can be used as h/w and then test - pupils have to learn reagents and conditions. Needs to be enlarges to A3 to make enough room,

fill in w/s looking at rotary kiln and production of slaked lime
