Resources here for IBDP and A-Level Chemistry, as well as Edexcel IGCSE and AQA GCSE Chemistry. I have a huge range of resources for 11-14 so ask if you need something specific. After teaching for 13 years in the UK and in international schools I have built up quite a selection of teaching resources. You can also visit my site www.toptenteacher.co.uk.

Just for fun, will need access to internet.
Hand the sheet out to groups of two or three and ask them to pick a research question or cut out each question and hand out to individual student or each pair of student.
Set of PowerPoints for 2009- IB diploma Chemistry.
Worked examples of questions are included in slides.
Should cover everything needed for topic 1- Stoichiometry.
Introduction to IGCSE Chemistry and the first lesson in the topic 'States of Matter'. Dealing with changes of state between solids, liquids and gases and demonstrating diffusion with a choice of experiments depending on the level of student understanding and equipment available to you.
Objectives:
Can you describe the interconversions of solids, liquids & gases? (C)
Can you explain the idea of diffusion with a practical example? (B)
Can you apply the idea of diffusion to fully explain an example within both liquids & gases? (A/A*)
Students expected to formulate their own ideas about diffusion and draw on knowledge from KS3.
-30 pages of exam style questions.
- All topics of the unit 1 A-level Chemistry covered.
- Arranged according to Cambridge International Exams specification.
-Two word files, one with just with questions, the second with questions and answers.
The 'Limestone and Building Materials' topic looks at uses of limestone and reactions of the carbonates.
Lesson objectives:
-Carry out all the parts of the limestone cycle, safely, record results of the experiments and the reactions.
-Use your results to help you to understand the limestone cycle.
Resources included:
1.Worksheet to explain practical lesson and blank results table.
2. PowerPoint with a set of levelled questions for starter, theory for reactions of the limestone cycle, including uses of slaked lime. Plenary summarises encourages students to memorise the limestone cycle diagram.
Involves some lab work and investigations to answer the following TOK related questions:
How is Knowledge Created in Science?
To what extent is it important for scientists “see” things the same way?
To what extent do scientists follow a set problem solving process or method for creating knowledge?
What is the relationship between accuracy and precision in scientific measurement?
The first lesson in 'The fundamental ideas in Chemistry' topic looking at the structure of an atom. Protons, neutrons and electrons, their location within the atom and their relative charge. How to calculate the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons when given the mass number and atomic number.
Resources included:
Powerpoint, with starter.
Choice of 3 tasks, worksheets.
Plenary, exam questions.
Some additional worksheets that can be used for extension activities or revision for the most able.
1. Crossword with questions on identification of atoms from their proton number and electron configuration.
2. Fill the table with numbers of electrons, protons, neutrons, mass number, electron configuration etc. Also has ions.
3. Fill in worksheet of questions on naming compounds (answers included)
4. History of the periodic table with questions.
5. Structure of the atom with some extended answer questions, (answers included)
6. Answer questions and fill in the table based on arrangement of sub-atomic particles and isotopes.
7. Some information on atomic structure and filling table for protons, neutrons and electrons, including ions.
Extra worksheets if students are struggling to access knowledge of Fundamental Ideas in Chemistry.
1. History of the Atom- Research task where students are expected find out about different scientists and how they used to understand what the atom looked like.
2. Research an element and find out the many different ways you can draw it.
3. Use blank periodic table and fill it in with as much information as you can find out.
4. Slightly more challenging worksheet, will involve some reading and processing information to answer questions on atomic structure.
5. Teacher lead practical on the alkali metals and water, students recording observations.
6. Filling in a table with numbers of protons, neutrons, electrons, mass number and proton number.
PowerPoint for 2009- IB diploma Chemistry.
Questions for students work on are included in slides.
Should cover everything needed for topic 2- Atomic Structure.
The 4th lesson in the 'Limestone and Building Materials' topic looking at uses of limestone and reactions of the carbonates.
Lesson objectives:
Most students should be able to:
Recognise that limestone is a building material and state that it can also be used to make glass, cement and concrete.
Complete a word equation for the thermal decomposition of limestone.
Write the formula of calcium carbonate.
Some students should also be able to:
Explain the process of thermal decomposition of limestone.
Resources included:
1. Questions on uses of limestone.
2. More questions on uses of limestone and quarrying limestone, could be used as homework.
3. PowerPoint with starter to recap understanding of elements mixtures and compounds, students produce notes on key reactions and uses of limestone though something more enjoyable than copying, some pair work and a plenary to check understanding.
The third lesson in 'The Fundamental Ideas in Chemistry' topic looking at how atoms can join together using elections, how to show them as chemical reactions and how to ensure they are balanced.
Lesson objectives:
-When elements react, their atoms join with other atoms to form compounds. This involves giving, taking or sharing electrons to form ions or molecules.
-Compounds formed from metals and non-metals consist of ions. Compounds formed from only non-metals consist of molecules.
-In molecules the atoms are held together by covalent bonds.
-Chemical reactions can be represented by word equations or by symbol equations.
-No atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction so the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants.
Resources included:
1. Powerpoint with starter reviewing work on electron arrangement and testing current student understanding of chemical reactions. Explanation of molecules, ions and simple bonding before going into balanced equations. Some equations to balance on the ppt. and links to websites that do the same thing.
2. Quick true or false quiz to use as plenary.
3. Worksheet to practice balancing equations.
The 'Limestone and Building Materials' topic looks at uses of limestone and reactions of the carbonates.
Lesson objectives:
Can you state the general equation for the reaction between a metal carbonate and acid?
Can you construct equations (word and symbol) for reactions studied?
Resources included:
1. Alternative lesson starter on limestone cycle, good for revision also.
2. Help sheet for students to understand the products formed when acids react with carbonates, should be used after practical.
3. Essential homework sheet. The social and environmental impacts of building factories often comes up in exam papers. This has an assessment criteria sheet that can be used in the following lesson for students to self assess.
4. PowerPoint, main part of the lesson with starter, theory, practical activity on reacting acids with carbonate, then focus on reactions, includes plenary.
5. Alternative plenary activity, revision as this would be last lesson in the topic. Taboo- students have to guess the word without using any words on the list.
