AQA Chemistry New GCSE Spec
Entire resources to cover all content in the new GCSE specifications.
All lessons for all 10 topics, including any worksheets, practical order information to support in teaching these topics.
Lessons cover both the combined 'trilogy' science route and also the 'triple' separate chemistry lessons.
The lessons include any required practical tasks that AQA have outlined, and an opportunity for learners to complete each of these.
Lessons have differentiated tasks available on slides and progress checks to assess learning throughout the lessons.
There is also opportunity to assess extended answer questions in some of the lessons to allow extended feedback on their work in these tasks.
Please visit my shop and read the reviews on the individual topics to gain an idea as to how popular these resources have proved. A great time saver and a great help to anyone planning for this course. Would also be a great help for anybody teaching outside of specialism, as the power points guide you through each section of the course and tell a story throughout the course.
