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.

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

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). 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.
