My revision methods are quite simple in my lessons - SPEC IT, REVISE IT, TEST IT. If students know EXACTLY WHAT they need to revise (using the specification checklist) it makes for smarter revision. If they can TEST THEMSELVES to measure their understanding - even better!
This resource is a comprehensive but concise knowledge organiser covering Periodic Table and Mendeleev (including Electronic Configuration). This knowledge organiser has been made against the Edexcel specification but would easily be applicable to others. Each revision point has been marked with the specification section (in green) to help students translate the specification points. The Knowledge Organiser is applicable to students sitting standard or higher tier papers (studying Separate or Combined Science routes). Each revision point has been written as a typical ‘stock exam answer’.
A great knowledge organiser all boiled down to one sheet.

This resource is a comprehensive but concise knowledge organiser covering…
transition metals and their properties
tarnish and oxidation of metals
corrosion
rusting of iron and steel
ways to reduce corrosion and oxidation
pure metals vs alloyed metals (the good old stock answer “layers slide etc etc”)

This resource is a comprehensive but concise knowledge organiser covering…
common formula
ionic formula to learn (simple and compound)
word equations
balanced equation writing
ionic equation writing
hazard symbols and precautions to reduce risk.
This resource is a must have for Quantitative Calculations revision, classwork or homework.
Resource includes a Knowledge Organiser (written against the Edexcel Specification but easily applicable to others) PLUS a worksheet of calculations to test against the content in the knowledge organiser. I’ve even included worked answers to save you the bother!
Calculations include…
concentrations in mol/dm3
percentage yield
atom economy
Gas volumes
Gas volumes from masses
Titration Calculations
Lots for students to do, nothing for you to do apart from print it off!
