I am a GCSE and A-level Chemistry specialist teacher in a 14-18 school with 15 years teaching experience and several years research experience. I provide GCSE, AS and A2 Chemistry resources (mainly for the AQA specifications) to help students practice the concepts learned in lessons and I am a firm believer in 'Practice makes perfect'. I strive wherever possible to include the answers to the worksheets.

A selection of exam-style questions based on the reactions and properties of Group 1: the Alkali Metals and Group 7: the Halogens. Contains 3 worksheets and the answers.
This worksheet allows students to practise the calculation of equilibrium quantities required in questions on Kc. It could be used as a homework or an extended classroom activity. Answers are included.
This is a PowerPoint activity that can be used as either a starter or plenary to assess understanding of how to calculate Mr for different substances. Slide 2 could be printed onto cards and each student given a different card to work out the Mr (30 different substances in total). If the relevant substance is clicked on slide 2, the PowerPoint shows the correct Mr for that substance. This is a useful AfL tool.
A set of four activity cards to help learn the basic ions and to revise and practise writing formulae for ionic compounds including salts, acids and alkalis. This covers some of the formulae writing and ions recall required for AQA GCSE Trilogy Science and GCSE Chemistry. These cards are formatted as labels and can be printed as sticky labels (4 labels per sheet, 99.1 x 139mm) for sticking directly onto cards or for sticking directly in student books.
AS Chemistry worksheet for practicing naming aldehydes and ketones. This contains a variety of straight-chain and branched-chain aldehydes and ketones along with other substituents students will have met in previous topics. Hints given on worksheet as to how to attempt naming where appropriate. Answers included.
Two activity cards to help reinforce and revise the basics of giant and simple covalent bonding for either the outgoing Chemistry specification or the new AQA Chemistry / Trilogy GCSE. These cards are formatted as labels and can be printed as sticky labels (4 labels per sheet, 99.1 x 139mm) for sticking directly onto cards or for sticking directly in student books. The giant covalent activity involves classifying statements as either belonging to diamond or graphite. The simple molecules activity involves matching 2 halves of sentences together.
This bundle contains 5 resources - 2 worksheets practicing calculating reacting masses, a titration calculations worksheet, empirical formula worksheet and a worksheet to balance equations from reacting masses and empirical formulae.
This resource is a test designed to assess section 3.1.1 of the AQA AS/Year 1 specification for A-level Chemistry. It contains 4 exam-style questions covering the basics of atomic structure, time of flight mass spectrometry theory and associated calculations, electron configuration and trends in ionisation energies. The test is out of 52 marks and comes with grade boundaries. All answers are provided.
This bundle includes a PowerPoint outlining the basics of the Chromatography technique and practical to be carried out. There is a practical sheet complete with equipment list, method and questions. The PowerPoint provides information to help answer the practical sheet questions, along with further questions to test student’s knowledge of separation techniques. There is a key word match sheet to assist in this.
This resource is a complete pdf scheme of work for teaching the AQA Year 2 Aromatic Chemistry topic. It includes teacher notes sheets, student sheets, worksheets, starters, practice and exam-style questions, and an aromatic chemistry test. All answers are included. The topic starts with a student specification tick sheet to help students organise and revise the topic. The content includes the structure and bonding of benzene, looking at the evidence for the structure and bonding in terms of lack of addition reactions, x-ray crystallography and thermochemical evidence. There is an extensive section on naming aromatic compounds, which includes 3 worksheets and 2 lesson starters. There is also full coverage of electrophilic substitution with a range of practice questions, 6 exam-style questions and a comprehensive aromatic chemistry test.
Please note that not all pages can be seen in the preview so I have provided one nomenclature worksheet and answers in .docx format to show the style of the whole support pack.
This resource contains a PowerPoint with several worked examples showing how to calculate atom economy and brief discussion of why reactions should have a high atom economy. A step-by-step worksheet is included to complement the PowerPoint along with an additional extra practice worksheet. All answers are included.
A selection of Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer questions including multiple choice, principles recall and sketching of mass spectra obtained. Later questions are more challenging and ask students to apply their knowledge of working out relative heights of peaks to new situations. Answers included.
Three quick check worksheets to check progress for topic 3.1.1 Atomic Structure for AQA. Complete with full answers. These could be used as homeworks, starter activities or as revision lesson activities.
Four worksheets to check student’s understanding of electron configuration of atoms, ions (including transition metals) and ionisation energies. Each has 4-5 questions. These could be used as starters, plenaries or as a quick homework task for self-assessment. Answers included.
A worksheet designed to practice the IUPAC rules for naming halogenoalkanes. Answers included. This could be used as a lesson activity, starter or as a quick check homework.
More than 20 Quick Check worksheets to use as starters or plenaries. All have 5 questions and are useful for knowledge retrieval. Covers the entire C1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table topic for AQA GCSE Chemistry. Answers provided.
Four worksheets to practice the nomenclature of organic compounds up to and including those in specification points 3.3.1 to 3.3.9 of AQA A level Chemistry. They are best used as starter activities. Answers included.
This booklet is designed to revise the first section of the new AQA GCSE Chemistry/Trilogy course on Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table. It contains 10 revision sets of HIGHER level questions. Each question is related to one of ten common topics from the section. It can be used as a starter or plenary booklet over 10 lessons, or as part of a structured revision program. Students can monitor their progress over the course of the ten question sets.
A bundle of 13 lesson starters, plenaries or exit/entry slips covering Atomic Structure, Isotopes, calculating relative atomic masses, the Early Periodic Table and the reactivity of Group1 and 7 elements. Useful to check and consolidate knowledge or to show progress at the end of a lesson. These could also be used as revision material before tests or the main exams.
