I use this resource as the sixth lesson of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. For a top set you can achieve everything in one lesson. You may need to spread the isotopes, relative atomic mass, and ions resource over a couple of lessons for mixed or lower ability classes. The relative atomic mass worksheet can also be used with A Level students (OCR Chemistry A). The resource includes: Information sheet (Isotopes) Worksheet (Isotopes) Answer sheet (Isotopes) Information sheet (Relative atomic mass) Worksheet (Relative atomic mass) Information sheet (Ions) Worksheet (Ions) Answer sheet (Ions) Get students to use an A Level periodic table in order to check their answers to the relative atomic mass worksheet.

This resource is the fifth part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. I use this resource with my GCSE students and occasionally as a stretch and challenge for KS3 or a reminder for A Level. The atomic structure resource includes: Information sheet (Atomic structure) Worksheet 1 (Atomic structure) Answer sheet 1 (Atomic structure) Worksheet 2 (Atomic structure) The answers to worksheet 2 are the same as the 1.7 electron configuration worksheet.

I use this resource as the part of the fourth lesson of AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. I often use this resource during a computer lesson or as a homework so that students can do some additional research. The History of the atom resource includes: Information sheet (History of the atom) Worksheet (History of the atom) Cut and stick (History of the atom) Answer sheet (History of the atom)

This resources builds on knowledge that students learn in KS3 and introduces them to topic. This resource contains: Information sheet Worksheet (atoms) Answer sheet (atoms) Worksheet (elements, compounds, and mixtures) Answer sheet (elements, compounds, and mixtures)

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 resource includes two 6 mark questions and corresponding answer sheets on the periodic table. These 6 mark exam questions are examples of longer answer questions from previous AQA GCSE Chemistry exams. I use this resource with my GCSE classes as a plenary or memory retrieval starter. I also use it sometimes with KS3 classes to extend the more able. These 6 mark questions are great to be used as a synoptic revision tool as they link in with many other concepts from the course.

This is a great chemistry and literacy game. Students learn the element symbols whilst also spelling words. It is best to use a combination of GCSE and A Level chemistry periodic tables so that students have the full scope of elements available to them. I use this resource with KS3, KS4 and KS5 as a starter and sometimes as a gap filler. Students really enjoy trying to find complex words and seeing how many individual element symbols they can use in a word. The resource comes with a question sheet, some example answers and a list of over 450 words that can be found in the periodic table. Questions cover different categories like foods, cars, countries, cities, football teams, and even Marvel characters.

These element sudoku games come in three different levels; easy, medium, and hard. There are twelve different element sudoku grids per level. Element sudoku is based on normal sudoku but instead of filling the grids with numbers 1-9, students have to fill the grids with elements 1-9 i.e. H to F. The principle is the same, elements can only appear once in each row, column, and mini grid. This is a great starter, numeracy task, gap filler or Christmas activity. I use this a lot with my AQA GCSE Chemistry students and my OCR A Level chemists for a fun starter. This could even be used as an extension task for KS3 students.

This resource on solubility rules can be used for GCSE Chemistry course that require knowledge of precipitation reactions and solubility rules. This is not directly needed for the AQA GCSE Chemistry but I do you use it with my more able students as a stretch and challenge exercise. This solubility rules resource includes two information sheets, a question sheet, and an answer sheet. Solubility rules are useful for the AQA GCSE chemical changes topic when looking at reactions of acids and bases. This resource could also be used as a starter with A level students.

This making a salt 6 mark exam question is a great resource to assess students understanding of the chemical changes topic as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I use it as part of the AQA GCSE Chemical changes topic or sometimes as a starter with my A Level students. The resource is a common question frequently asked in AQA GCSE Chemistry paper 1 examinations. There is an accompanying help sheet that students can use as support material. The mark scheme gives clear directions on how to award different marks for students.

This is an essential resource for students learning about ionic bonding or electrolysis. The common ions resource can be used as a reference by students when they are trying to determine the formula of an ionic compound. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I give the common ions sheet to students and ask them to keep it at the front of their folders so that they can refer to it when needed. I also use it as a support sheet with my A Level Chemistry class too.

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.

These resources linking moles, mass and relative formula mass teach students the relationship between these concepts. The resource includes an information sheet as a reference resource for students and also three question sheets with accompanying answers. I use these moles resources as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic. The resources could easily be used as a main task or as a starter for more able or A Level students.

This gas volumes resource teaches students the relationship between gas volume and moles. It contains a gas volumes information sheet, a question sheet, and an accompanying answer sheet. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic in paper 1. It could be used as a support resource for A Level students too.

This empirical formula resource contains an information sheet that explains how to calculate the empirical formula of a substance; a question sheet; and accompanying answer sheet. I use this with my OCR Chemistry A year 12 class but it is also suitable for GCSE courses that cover empirical formula. This could be used to extend students as part of the AQA GCSE Quantitative chemistry topic.

This resource contains information sheets, question sheets and answer sheets for percentage yield and atom economy. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic in paper 1. It can also be used for A Level chemistry. Students can complete the questions as the main task in a lesson and keep the information sheet as a resource. A level students should find this a comfortable starter.

This resources helps students understand how to calculate the concentration of a solution based on moles, volumes and equations. The resource includes an information sheet, question sheet and accompanying answer sheet.
