Due to the large quantity of files they have been attached as a Zip file. As a bonus, some GCSE Physics revision resources have also been included in the downloads as well.
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on the chemistry of the halogenoalkanes and alcohols. The knowledge organisers include information on the preparation of halogenoalkanes (synthesis of bromobutane) and alcohols, functional groups tests, apparatus (reflux, distillation, separating funnel etc.) Theory about nucleophilic substitution, elimination, oxidation of alcohols etc. Mechanisms for nucleophilic substitution and elimination included.
An A-Level Chemistry resource on purification of organic liquids. The handout includes labelled diagrams and information on the organic techniques of reflux, distillation, washing and drying. Includes diagrams of heating by reflux, distillation, separating (tap) funnel and drying agent. With each diagram is information about what each technique is used for. E.g. purpose of washing with HCl, NaHCO3 or water. Purpose of a drying agent with relevant examples. Why antibumping granules are required in a pear shaped flask. Why the water goes in the bottom of a condenser and out at the top and much more. The information helps students prepare for questions on A-Level required practicals on organic chemistry.
Contains all the facts from the AQA A-Level Chemistry syllabus on structure of proteins including sequence of amino acids joined by peptide links, hydrogen bonding, sulfur–sulfur bonds, primary, secondary (α-helix and β–pleated sheets,) tertiary structures and fibrous/globular proteins.
An Organic Chemistry activity on the apparatus used in Organic experiments. Includes diagrams of apparatus including reflux, distillation, steam distillation, separating funnel, buchner filtration (under reduced pressure), drying and a thiele melting point tube. Students have to add the correct labels to the apparatus. Answers are included to all diagrams.
A knowledge organiser on the AQA GCSE topic Chemical calculations. Includes information on the scientific terms: RAM, RFM, conservation of mass, mole, avagadro constant, excess & limiting reagents, titrations , formulae trianagles for all the calculations etc. Also contains more depth on the steps required in a titration, diagrams of flasks used and indicators etc. Also includes information about volume of gases, atom economy and percentage yield. Is everything the students need to know on one page before attempting the calculations. Can be expanded onto an A3 page. Relevant for the new 2018 exams.
A bundle of 4 resources suitable for the new AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus. Resources on paper chromatography include a knowledge organiser containing all the facts on chromatography that students need to know, a differentiated 1-9 worksheet featuring exam style questions and a plenary chromatography traffic light quiz (useful for assessment for learning at the end of the lesson) and finally a cut and stick activity.
7 resources bundle on the Energetics topics Born Haber cycles, enthalpy of neutralisation, Gibbs free energy calculations, entropy of system and total entropy calculations, Hess Law and a knowledge organiser on entropy.
A knowledge organiser on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Is suitable for the new AQA GCSE 2018 syllabus (from the chapter “Chemical changes”). Contains information on electrolysis of molten ionic compounds like lead bromide, the electrolysis of aluminium oxide and also the electrolysis of aqueous solutions like sodium chloride (brine.) Includes explanations on what happens at the electrodes (oxidation/reduction), the ionic equations involved, and for aqueous solutions, explanations of why we get hydrogen instead of the metal if the metal is the most reactive etc.
A GCSE Chemistry knowledge organiser on the reactivity series and extraction of metals. Relevant for the new AQA GCSE 2018 syllabus. Includes content on the reactivity series, dsplacement reactions, ionic equations, extraction of metals (using carbon and hydrogen) and separating salts using evaporation or recrystalisation.

Cards include compounds of butane, propanoic acid, bromine, bromoethane and 3-methyl-2-butanone. Resource provided in both Power Point and PDF format with answers included.
Two knowledge organisers on the A-level chemistry practical “oxidation of alcohols" including the oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid and the oxidation of butan-2-ol to butanone. The oxidation of alcohols is one of the** required practicals for A-Level Chemistry**. The knowledge organisers include the method, apparatus diagram and theory that goes with the practical. It then includes information on each stage of the process, reflux, distillation, washing, drying and redistillation. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.
An A-Level Chemistry resource on calculating Kp (gaseous equilibria.) Requires students to calculate Kp using mole fractions and partial pressure. Answers are included. Starts with questions on the basics, calculating mole fraction and partial pressure. Then the questions increase in difficulty to exam standard Kp questions. The editable resource takes about a double lesson for students to complete and gives an example of every type of exam question that can come up on Kp.
