ppt to introduce students to the different types of isomerism

i use this before doing flame test practical

i get pupils to draw a boy and a girl and then add correct labels to each picture - good for low ability

some practice questions

short test covering the Edexcel specification requirements for AS unit 1.

a quick test on the reactions of acyl chlorides and then a run through of how to name them (and acid amides and acid anhydrides).

the never ending explanation of when and how to draw a bar chart! this is a straight forward ppt to help - good luck!

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.

an example and questions

Lime cycle/ limestone revision activities.

looks at what a unit of alcohol is, the affects and tests for amount drunk

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
