This is a revision power point to be used when revising the content of AQA Chemistry paper 1 - it covers the key areas of both the trilogy and chemistry only routes - these are clearly separated out and so makes it easy to find suitable content activities for your groups.
The power point includes:
Specification points to discuss
All required practical activities - specification points along with example methods and questions for each.
Triple only content
Recall questions for each topic of chemistry paper 1 (with answers) for retrieval practice.
Content slides covering the key areas of each topic to discuss with your groups.
Various differentiated revision activities for each topic (with answers) for students to complete as you progress through.
The power point is designed to be used in revision lessons and designed in a way that key areas of weakness for individual groups can be found and addressed easily.
