I have been teaching science and A-Level Chemistry for 13 years. My resources are mainly for A-Level Chemistry for OCR A (the latest 2015 specification). Most of my resources are “complete lesson” resources, consisting of a Workbook and Teacher’s PP. The Workbook structures student’s learning in each lesson. The Teacher’s PP supports the Workbook. I update my resources often to address any new “misconceptions ” students might have that arise from Examiner’s Reports and from my own teaching.

Student workbook and teacher PP for OCR A Level Chemistry Unit 29 Analysis, Chapter 29.6 Combined techniques and an extra PP with some past exam questions related to this topic. As this lesson is a review of concepts studied before, the resource could be used as revision material to review : tests for functional groups, IR spectroscopy, Mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis and NMR. The following concepts are being covered: Review of the qualitative tests for the following functional groups: alkene, phenol, alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester. Review of IR spectroscopy- how does it work; use of infrared spectrum to identify the presence of functional groups in an organic compound. Review of Mass spectroscopy – how does it work; use of molecular ion peak and fragmentation peaks in a mass spectrum to find the molecular mass and to identify parts of an organic structures. Combine evidence from IR and mass spectra to deduce isomers of organic structures- various questions to complete. Elemental analysis - to deduce the empirical formula of a compound from its mass composition. Combine evidence from elemental analysis, IR spectra, mass spectra and NMR spectra, to deduce structures of organic structures- many exam questions to select from. The workbook is for the students to complete. It contains varies activities to achieve the learning outcomes for Combined Techniques. Teacher PP supports the workbook- contain support / answers to the tasks. The answers, in most cases, are revealed showing the solutions to tasks in steps. The PP has many slides but it contains a detailed review of different techniques studied earlier. The resource was prepared with the use of A Level Chemistry for OCR A textbooks.
