This balancing equations differentiated resource is great as a starter for more able students or the main activity for another lesson. The resource contains a balancing equations information sheet for students to keep as a reference. In addition there are three different balancing equations worksheets that allow students to try balancing equations with 3, 4, 5, or 6 different elements. Complete with answer sheet.

I use this metallic bonding resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. The resource includes a differentiated worksheet on drawing metallic bonds, an information sheet, question sheet and all associated answer sheets. These resources can even be used as a reminder for A Level chemistry students.

This Hess’ Law resource includes: Summary sheet - Hess’ Law Question sheet - Hess’ Law Answer sheet - Hess’ Law Solutions sheet - Hess’ Law I use these resources with my Y12 students as a summary lesson as part of the Enthalpy topic in the OCR Chemistry A course. Students value the calculations displayed on the solutions sheet to help them see where the answer comes from.

This states of matter resource is the introductory lesson to the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Bonding and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. States of matter is studied at KS3 but this is a chance to secure student’s understanding and reveal misconceptions. The resource includes: Information sheet (Changes of state) Worksheet (Changes of state) Answer sheet (Changes of state) Worksheet (States of matter) Answer sheet (States of matter) Template (States of matter) 6 Mark Question (States of matter) 6 Mark Question Answers (States of matter)

I use this hydrocarbons resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Organic chemistry’ topic in paper 2. The resource includes information sheets and differentiated work sheets to help students understand the fundamentals of organic chemistry. This is a really comprehensive resource with lots of opportunities for differentiation. A great introduction to hydrocarbons and organic chemistry. This resource includes: 2 x Information sheet 5 x Differentiated Worksheets 1 x 6 Mark question Answer sheets

This transition metals resource is the final lesson of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. I often use these resources as part of a larger lesson where students use computers to research the uses of transition metals, in particular linking the properties of transition metals to their uses. The resource includes: Information sheet (Transition metals) Information sheet (Transition metal ion colours) Worksheet (Transition metals) Answer sheet (Transition metals)

This bumper resource is full of everything you need to help your students understand the first required practical in the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I use this with my Y10 students to help them make connections between the chemical changes topic and the making a salt required practical. The resource can be printed as a booklet or as individual resources. Included in the resource is: What is a salt (Information sheet) Naming Apparatus (Worksheet) Generic how to make a salt (Information sheet) Method tick sheet (Preparing copper sulfate crystals) Method questions (Worksheet) Exam question x 4

This checklist is a great resource for students to reflect on their learning and identify areas that need further work. I would suggest students use it along side an end of topic test or mock exam in order to pick up their weaknesses.

This resource contains two word searches; one for atomic structure and the other for the periodic table. Both resources come with questions and an indication of how many letters are in the answer, the answer is then located amongst the words. I use this resource with my GCSE students. Primarily I use it as a revision tool but it can be useful to support the less able too. The questions are modeled around the AQA GCSE Chemistry specification but would be suitable for all GCSE Chemistry courses.

This titration 6 mark exam question is a great resource to assess students understanding of a titration. I use it as part of the AQA GCSE Quantitative Chemistry topic or sometimes in the AQA GCSE Chemical Changes topic. The resource is a common question frequently asked in AQA GCSE Chemistry paper 1. There is an accompanying information sheet that students can use a reference resource too. This could also be used as an A Level starter or memory retrieval question.
