Flashcards on the theme of REdox Can be used as pair matching. Nothing fancy, but v effective I use this as a starter and as a plenary.

Complete lesson with activities, questions, supplementary notes, web links integrated into the Lesson Objective page. Used as prep for my SL IB DP pupils, but equally fine for GCSE. Can be used as prep, FOFO, revision, to support class notes, as a cover lesson or alongside a textbook. Includes weblinks and questions. Differentiation by outcome.

Fine as a matching cards game or as flashcards. Can also be used as a sequencing exercise This is a simple resource of matching pairs. Fine for revision- can be used as matching cards or as flashcards/ sequencing. I use this type of activity as part of a standard repertoire for a starter or a plenary for fact-based learning. It may not be trendy- but assimilating facts is pretty-much the cornerstone of chemistry learning, but pupils don't like it. This sort of activity makes it more entertaining, and with bigger classes you can do it as a race. I have small classes sources so I do it as a timed exercise over successive lessons.

Fine for matching pairs or card sort

Fine for KS4 KS5. Written for IB DP

This an editable worksheet with weblinks for independent study. Has a graded sequence of questions involving calculations of Kc- from simple to complex requiring logic as well as application of the formula Kc =[products] / [reactants] Includes teacher notes and guidance as to how I differentiate- extend questions etc. At heart this is a simple activity, but you can really tailor this to your need- I like to use it as a refresher before tackling acid/ base equilibria and calculations of pH, but it could be used to reinforce the need to find things out for oneself, or as a homework, or at a stretch, for a cover lesson. leads nicely into Ka

A word doc with weblinks/ page references for independent research. Covers alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, polymerisation, electrophilic addition, nucleophilic substitution, Includes gap fill, best response (multi choice) questions, mechanisms etc. I use this as prep, but can also be used as homework, or as a cover lesson.

Differentiated revision/ activity. This is a simple reinforcement/ revision resource in which the pupils need to link the boxes to complete the definition. I normally pair this with a second resource (attached) where the pupils then write the second part of the definition in a blank box. Alternatively, slice the statements into individual parts and scatter across the desk- pupils need to reassemble -which, if you believe in gardner's multiple intelligences (which I don't), is good for kinaesthetic learners.

This is a resource I made for an observed lesson on Mixtures. It is differentiated by task and learning style and supplements work on Elements compounds and mixtures. It includes a data handling exercise and works into demonstrations using molymods and real demonstrations.

Differentiated Resources for teaching Organic Chemistry. Differentiated by ability and task. Pupils use the cut out and match-up cards to construct a reaction pathway, from alkenes to carboxylic acids and back and flashcards to learn the functional groups. I have colour coded this into three simple reaction pathways-see picture- you could amalgamate for stronger pupils (or get them to integrate) into one larger web, or provide blanks to expand on the stimulus material. To make Flashcards- simply fold down the centre and stick. For weaker candidates I give them colour coded versions. Additionally, for the flashcards, weaker candidates get given the structures. Stronger candidates can do this as a pair matching or sequencing activity which gives better retention in the long run. Works fine as a starter, revision, plenary or activity.

This is for pupils to develop the ability to use a spreadsheet (I wrote it in excel) to process a large amount of data in order to calculate a value for g (set to be a little lower than 9.8) and then lead into consideration of experimental errors. Using s=ut + 1/2at2 pupils can calculate gravitational acceleration. Pupils are provided with values for s and t Pupils need to calculate a mean t from a very large data set (easy to do using excel). Pupils then need to square the mean t. Then they need to plot s against t2 which will give them a linear graph with the gradient as 1/2 a. The worksheet is editable so weaker pupils can have more guided instructions. Stronger pupils can work their way through. The accompanying worksheet then looks at errors in measurement- absolute and % AND there is a random error in the data set. Pupils can use absolute errors in the data to determine size of error bars, Pupils can work out experimental error, plot best, steepest and shallowest trend lines for g and compare that against the total % error in their data.

Multi choice and short response style questions that are repeated at regular intervals to reinforce the type of question being tested.

Will work fine for distance learning/ supported e-learning. I use this as a set of notes/questions for introduction to organic, as homework for my IBDP students and as revision for exams. It can also be used for a set of work for cover lessons or for pupils who have been absent from class. Essentially it is a good back-covering exercise in that you KNOW the pupils have covered the work if they can complete the exercises. It’s not massively exciting, but it covers all bases.
