The resource contains: Information sheet (Filtration) Worksheet (Filtration) Worksheet - differentiated (Filtration) Answer sheet (Filtration) Information sheet (Crystallisation) Worksheet (Crystallisation) Answer sheet (Crystallisation) Information sheet (Distillation) Worksheet (Distillation) Worksheet - differentiated (Distillation) Answer sheet (Distillation) Worksheet (Fractional distillation) Answer sheet (Fractional distillation) Information sheet (Chromatography) Worksheet (Chromatography) Answer sheet (Chromatography)

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 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 simple molecules resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. The simple covalent molecules resource is best used after 2.6 Covalent bonding worksheet. The simple molecules resource provides students with information and then a worksheet to test their understanding. There is also a guide to dot-and-cross diagrams of simple molecules and how to approach drawing them. This resource includes: Information sheet (Simple molecules) Worksheet (Simple molecules) Answer sheet (Simple molecules) Information sheet (How to - drawing dot-and-cross diagrams)

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.

Group 7 (Halogens) is the 10th resource in a series of lessons for the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. This halogens resource can be used across KS3 to extend, KS4, and KS5 as a reminder. This Group 7 resource can be used along side an IT lesson where students can do further research. The resource includes: Information sheet (Group 7 - Halogens) Worksheet (Group 7 - Halogens) Answer sheet (Group 7 - Halogens)

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.

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 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 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)

I use this working scientifically resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course to help students identify independent, dependent, and control variables for different scientific investigations. The resource has 21 scientific scenarios where the students have to deduce the different variables. This is an excellent chance to bring literacy into a lesson too. The resource contains: 1 x Information sheet 1 x Question sheet 1 x Answer sheet

This is the seventh part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. Students really enjoy this lesson as the resource gives them lots of help. To extend students you could just give them a blank piece of paper. I ask those that finish early to see if they can find the link between the electron configuration and where the element is positioned in the periodic table. The electron configuration resource includes: Information sheet (Atomic structure and the periodic table) Worksheet (Atomic structure) Worksheet (Electron configuration) Answer sheet (Electron configuration)

This is the ninth resource in a series of lessons for the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. The resource could also be used for KS3 when they learn about Group 1 metals. Students enjoy the Group 1 metals lesson as the teacher demonstration is often very exciting. The information sheet does explain the trend in reactivity of the alkali metals but this is also included in a later lesson on explaining trends. You should always do you own risk assessment before performing any demonstrations. The alkali metals resource includes: Information sheet (Group 1, Alkali metals) Worksheet (Group 1, Alkali metals) Answer sheet (Group 1, Alkali metals)

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.
