This resource on concentration of solutions takes students through the definition of solvent, solute and solution, and then demonstrates how to calculate the concentration of a solution. The resource contains an information sheet with accompanying question and answer sheets. I use the resource with more able KS3 students but mainly with GCSE students. I use the resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic.
This resource introduces students to calculating reacting masses using the moles method. I use this as part of the AQA Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic. The resource comes with an information sheet on reacting masses and accompanying question and answer sheets. The question sheet can be used to do the scale method and also with A Level students.

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.
This resource contains an information sheet on relative formula mass, a question sheet and an associated answer sheet. GCSE students need to be able to calculate relative formula mass as part of the Quantitative Chemistry topic in paper 1. Students can file the resource or use it to help them answer the questions. A great resource for GCSE but also a good starter or reminder for A Level students too.
This resource defines the relative atomic mass of an element and also describes to students how to calculate the relative atomic mass. The resource includes an information sheet and question sheet for practice. The great thing is that students can check their answers against the relative atomic mass displayed on the periodic table. A good resource for GCSE students and a good starter or reminder for A Level students. I use this resource as part of the AQA Chemistry, Quantitative Chemistry topic.
The changes of state and particle model worksheet is a great memory retrieval or revision resource to be used with KS3 and GCSE level students. The resource comes in three levels of difficulty complete with answer sheet. This could be used as a starter for more able students or a research task for lower ability.
This resource is a great starter activity. There are 42 different pages all containing 12 individual bingo grids. No two bingo grids the same out of the 504 available. The accompanying powerpoint will randomly go to an element slide when the play icon is pressed. I use this starter daily with all of my classes. I randomly pick from a jar of ping pong balls with element symbols on. Sometimes I’ll call out the name and other times I’ll challenge the students by calling out proton numbers or even mass numbers. My students have a sheet each and pick which grid they use. There is also a blank bingo grid page if you want students to pick their own elements.
The ions information sheet explains how ions are formed to students and how to draw ions. The accompanying ions worksheet and answer sheet challenges students to deduce the electron configuration of ions and draw their structures. The common ions resource lists ions that are useful for students when learning about ionic bonding and electrolysis. This resource is useful for students to have as a reference in their folders or exercise books. Please note that students in the UK will not be able to take this resource into any public exams.
This resources contains an information sheet on explaining how simple compounds are named. The accompanying worksheet asks students to name compounds formed from combinations of elements and also to identify the elements in a compound. The naming compounds worksheet also asks students to name some chemical formulae with their common name. An answer sheet is included.
This resource is a series of periodic tables at different stages of completion. Challenge your students by setting a time limit to complete the periodic table or simply use it as a memory retrieval technique. One of the periodic tables is completed and can be distributed as a resource to students.
This resource is a selection of periodic tables at different levels of completion. Challenge your students by asking them to complete the periodic table in a set time or simply use it as a memory retrieval technique.
