Chemical energetics - equilibrium

(0)
This lesson in the form of a presentation describes Le-Chetaliers principle. The lesson also describes how changes in condition can effect the position of an equilibrium. The lesson also includes student activities to test understanding.
structure and bonding - revision cards
doctorharvesdoctorharves

structure and bonding - revision cards

(0)
This resource is in the form of revision cards which students cut out and glue the answer on one side and the question on the other. e.g. a molecule with a trigonal planar shape on one side and the words trigonal planar on the other side. They can then use the cards they create as a revision tool either in pairs or individually. Placing the cards face down and working out what is on the other side of the card.

Organic Chemistry - hydrocarbons

(0)
This lesson in the form a presentation outlines the simple hydrocarbons (alkenes and alkanes) - properties and how you can experimentally differentiate between the two classes of compound. The lesson also includes activities to test student understanding. Designed for KS4 and 5.
Rates of reaction activity
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Rates of reaction activity

(1)
This activity summarises the effect of varying different conditions on the rate of a chemical reaction. The activity has three tasks firstly, filling in missing words to complete summary sentences. Secondly, completing sketch graphs of changing conditions on creation of products and finally, a jig saw exercise of what and why changing certain reaction conditions changes the rate of reaction.

(0)
This powerpoint presentation outlines for A-level students how to develop electron configurations for the elements. It also outlines the shapes of the orbitals associated with these electron configurations.
The Polarity of Molecules
doctorharvesdoctorharves

The Polarity of Molecules

(0)
This is a powerpoint presentation designed for A level Chemistry designed to develop student understanding of how the polarity of molecules develops. This is linked to dipole moments and how this is related to the shape of molecules. The polarity is linked to bonding type as well.
How to use a bunsen burner
doctorharvesdoctorharves

How to use a bunsen burner

(0)
The presentation is to be done over two lessons. The first lesson goes over lab safety with an activity involving finding potential dangers in the lab. The next lesson involves the use of a bunsen burner to test for metals. The latter lesson involves students getting a bunsen burner drivers license by following safety steps. Once attained they test solid salt samples by the flame test. The other activity includes labelling the bunsen burner and using terms in sentences to reinforce learning. The learning objectives for both lessons are outlined in the presentation.
