Designed for the new AQA trilogy specification. Covers alkanes, structure, naming and general formula as well as briefly discussing the need for cracking. Exam questions used throughout and for differentiation of tasks. I used a revision guide for the information that I asked them to read but could easily be text book pages or printed information.

Designed for the new (1-9) AQA specification. Covering reversible reactions, the energy changes associated with them and a practical. The practical sheet that goes along with this is designed to be used as a single sheet and encourages students to think about the practical in the same detail as is needed for the required practicals. The method is included along with space for their own notes and conclusions.

An introductory KS4 lesson to the difference between atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures as well as separation techniques. Starts with a quiz to assess knowledge/recall. Literacy task and scavenger hunt/market place activity with a blank table to complete for separation techniques. A good starting lesson before leading in to a practical lesson of some of the separation methods. You will need a text book or revision guide to go along with this for extra information.

Put together for KS3 (Y8). Starts with a quiz and then some AfL to assess current knowledge and allow for discussion of different energy needs/food intake and why. You will need some food labels for them to analyse in groups and compare to each others. Oracy and literacy task. And plenary to get them thinking about health vs energy.

Whole lesson covering how to calculate rates of reaction for the new AQA specification. Includes a recap of calculating mean and anomalous results. Calculating mean using numbers and graphs. Levelled task for students to pick tasks that suit their confidence level and an exam question included (this should be changed to suit the group).

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification). Recaps understanding of some key words, dot cross diagrams and understanding of basicity. Covers preparation of aliphatic and aromatic amines (including mechanisms) and properties as required.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification). Covers how the structure of benzene is determines and the reactions that occurs on the benzene ring (with mechanisms) including Friedel-Crafts acylation. Tasks throughout to test and encourage thought. A differentiated task to assess listening and understanding and a differentiated plenary.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification). Covers the reactions and mechanisms for addition-elimination reactions of acyl chlorides, acid anhydrides and amide. This lesson comes before the required practical making, and testing purity, of an organic solid.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification) on the hydrolysis of esters and its importance. Saponification, biodiesel, transesterification, hydrolysis in acidic and alkaline conditions. The practical here is making soap and detergent - method included.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification), but may also be useful for higher sets at GCSE. Review of knowledge of C/A's and esters from GCSE. Practical making an ester using the simple method freely available from RSC (link on slide) and a differentiated task for once they have finished.

Looks at the reactions and mechanism for reaction of aldehydes and ketone. Includes NaBH4 and KCN. Also covers chirality of products. Requires molymod kits.

For the new AQA A Level Chemistry specification. Requires molymod kits. Looks at all the key words for this section of work. Encourages students to think about what makes a molecule chiral and come up with their own rules. This lesson has been very successful for me and the students have really engaged with the use of molymods. Print off the last slide to hand out and stick into notes.

Full lesson on acids and alkalis. Designed for lower ability KS4 but could easily be used for KS3. Includes starter, two short practical tasks, a differentiated task and differentiated plenary task. Could be split into two lessons or done as one depending on lesson length and class ability.

A 2 page summary of the AQA (new specification) Organic Chemistry unit of work. Covers both trilogy and separate Chemistry content. Can be used for revision at the end of the topic, or as an introduction to a new unit of work. - Crude Oil and Hydrocarbons - Fractional Distillation - Alkanes - Alkenes - Cracking - Testing for Alkenes - Reactions of Alkenes - Addition Polymerisation - Condensation Polymerisation - Naturally Occurring Polymers

This is the session that I have put together for my Y11 taster session. It focusses on transition metals and why their complexes have different colours. The practicals that I have used a freely available from RSC, however I have compiled them into a single worksheet that includes the method and space to record observations. The blue bottle starter is again freely available but I have included here for those who need it. The section on calculating oxidation state could be cut out for a shorter session, then focussing on the practical work.

A one page summary of the Rate and Extent of Chemical Change unit of the AQA new specification for Chemistry. This can be used for both Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. A good revision document for the end of the unit or could be used as an introduction. - Collision Theory - Factors affecting rate of reaction - Calculating rates of reaction - Reversible reactions - Equilibrium and Le Chatelier's principle - Required practical

This contains a summary of all the information needed for the AQA Quantitative Chemistry unit for the new specification. It can be used for both Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. Information is condensed into two pages and includes the equations needed and worked examples. Can be used for revision at the end of the topic or as an introduction. - RAM - RFM - % composition - Conservation of mass - Moles - Concentration of solutions - Yield - Atom economy - Titration calcultions

This is a one page summary of everything covered in the Energy Changes unit of the AQA new specification for Chemistry. Can be used for revision at the end of the unit, or at the start to introduce key ideas. Includes information for Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. - Exothermic and endothermic reactions - Energy change of reactions - Bond energy calculations - Cells, batteries and fuel cells

I used this for my lower ability Y11 class (approx grades B/C). Introduces electrolysis of molten compounds then extends to solutions. Includes a practical activity and results table. Print either slide 14 or 15 for the class depending on ability. AfL plenary.

I put this together as part of AQA A-Level revision for Y13. Summary of what metal-aqua ions are and they reactivity with NH3, NaOH and Na2CO3 (colour changes etc). I printed out the last slide and gave them a copy each for their notes.
