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 cracking hydrocarbons resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Organic chemistry’ topic in paper 2. The resource includes an information sheet and two worksheets to help students understand how larger hydrocarbons are used to provide feedstock for other organic reactions. This resource includes: 2 x Information sheet 2 x Worksheets Answer sheets

I use this burning 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 products of the combustion of hydrocarbons. This resource includes: 1 x Information sheet 2 x Differentiated Worksheets Answer sheets

There are four different worksheets, answer sheets, and an information sheet in this ionic bonding resource. I use these resources as the fourth lesson in the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. I recommend using the 2.3 Forming ions resource in advance of this lesson to prepare students for ionic bonding. The differentiated worksheet supports the weaker learners. This resource includes: Information sheet (Ionic bonding) Worksheet 1 (Ionic bonding) Answer sheet 1 (Ionic bonding) Worksheet 2 (Ionic bonding) Answer sheet 2 (Ionic bonding) Worksheet 3 (Ionic bonding) Answer sheet 3 (Ionic bonding) Worksheet differentiated (Ionic bonding) Answer sheet differentiated (Ionic bonding)

This forming ions lesson is the third in the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. Some students may already be familiar with ions from the atomic structure topic. This forming ions resource is a great way to secure students understanding of ions in preparation for learning about ionic bonding. The resource includes several different worksheets, a differentiated worksheet to support learners and answer sheets. This resource includes: Information sheet (Forming ions) Worksheet (Charges of ions) Answer sheet (Charges of ions) Worksheet (Ions) Answer sheet (ions) Worksheet (Drawing ions) Worksheet (Drawing ions - differentiated) Answer sheet (Drawing ions)

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 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
