Chemistry
Chlorination of 2-methylpropan-2-ol
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylpropane” which is one of the** required practicals for A-Level Chemistry**. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, 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.
Preparation of cyclohexene
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, 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.
Preparation of 1-bromobutane
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of 1-bromobutane”. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). 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.
Bundle
Organic chemistry knowledge organisers
A bundle of 3 knowledge organisers on the AQA GCSE topic organic chemistry and a large A3 poster of the whole content of the GCSE organic chemistry. The 1st is on crude oil and the reactions of the hydrocarbons (alkanes and alkenes), the 2nd on alcohols and carboxylic acids and the 3rd on Polymers (addition, condensation polymerisation, polysaccharides, amino acids and DNA). The Poster is a combination of all the information they need to know from the three organic chemistry topics, all on one A3 poster. Contains all the key information from the AQA new 2016 GCSE syllabus for the triple science organic chemistry topic.
Making a soluble salt - activities
Two activities to go with the GCSE Chemistry required practical “Making a soluble salt”. The first is a hexagon challenge activity in which students have to make connections between the apparatus used and method. Is an activity that promotes stretch and challenge. The second is a cut and stick which requires students to correctly label the apparatus in the correct order.
Parts per million
An Alevel Chemistry resource on calculating very low concentrations of solutions. The worksheet includes questions (and also worked examples which help the students complete the worksheet). Questions on calculating concentration in ppm (parts per million), mass of ions, avagodro’s constant, number of ions etc.) Answers are included.
Inorganic qualitative tests
A knowledge organiser on inorganic qualitiative tests including cation flame tests, tests for the magnesium and ammonium cations, the sulfate and carbonate anions, halides tests (silver nitrate, displacement and reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid.) The knowledge organiser also includes relevant ionic equations where applicable.
Acid and base equilibria - buffer calculations
A resource on the A-Level Chemistry topic "Acid and base equilibria" focussing on buffer calculations. This editable resources contains several sections of increasing difficulty. There are examples of many different types of exam questions that students could get in an exam. Takes about a double lesson to complete. Answers are included.
Electrolysis quiz
A traffic lights quiz on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Can be used as a plenary to test students knowledge. Includes questions on electrolysis, electrolytes, anode, cathode, oxidation, reduction and ionic equations. Suitable for the new 2018 GCSE specifications. Answers are included.
Ecell knowledge organiser
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on Electrochemical cells. The file is editable and contains the theory behind Electrochemical cells and their calculations. Includes diagrams, equations and information on the hydrogen half cell, reduction potentials, strength of reducing agents, oxidising agents, how to draw electrochemical cells and represent them in cell diagrams.
Titration hexagons
A challenging activity on the method of titration. Students have to link the keywords about titrations in the hexagons together. Helps students make connections between the apparatus used. For e.g, why a white tile is used, how the use of the indicator is linked to both the conical flask and the white tile. It is very challenging and really gets students thinking about how the apparatus connect together. Takes about 20 mins to complete and answers are included. Is an excellent activity as it really challenges students knowledge of titrations.
Acids and alkalis
A GCSE Chemistry traffic light quiz on acids and alkalis, suitable for the new 2018 AQA GCSE syllabus. Students use traffic light cards to answer the questions. Can be used as a plenary and answers are included.
Bundle
Shapes of molecules bundle
A bundle of three resources on shapes of molecules. theres a set of cue cards, an information sheet on how to calculate electron pair repulsion theory and then a worksheet requiring students to input information on number of lone pairs, bond pairs, bond angles and shape. Suitable for the new 2015 A-Level exams.
Bundle
AQA GCSE Chemistry paper 2 structure strips
A set of revision structure strips on the new AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus for paper 2. The structure strips fit into the margins of an exercise book and students write the answer to each question in the lines beside. 120 questions covers topics Rates and equilibrium, Crude oil and fuels, chemical analysis, The Earth’s atmosphere and The Earth’s resources. Answers to every question provided.
Preparation of iodobutane
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of iodobutane from reacting red phosophorus, iodine and butanol. The knowledge organiser includes the method, apparatus diagram and physical data (density, boiling point etc). It then includes information on each stage of the process, reflux, 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.
Group 2 and 7 Knowledge organiser
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on groups 2 and 7 of the periodic table. Includes information on electronegativity, melting and boiling points, trends in oxidising ability, displacement reactions, reactions of halide ions, uses of chlorine etc. Also contains information from group 2 on physical and chemical properties, reactions, solubilities of sulfates and hydroxides, ionisiation energies etc. Relevant for the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry syllabus.
Redox calculations
An A-Level Chemistry resource on redox calculations. Students have to work out oxidation numbers, then write redox half equations and combine them to get an overall ionic equation. Then they have to identify the oxidising/reducing agents. Answers are included.
Shapes of molecules Flash cards
Flash cards on shapes of molecules suitable for the new A-Level chemistry syllabus (2015), students can test their knowledge of shapes of molecules, including linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, octahedral etc. Flash cards print out and ready to use immediately with answers on the reverse of each card, takes a few mins to slice & prepare a class set of cards.
Our evolving atmosphere
A bundle of resources on the atmosphere. A rank the definition activity encourages class discussion on how to define the atmosphere. Also included, a group relay activity where students in their groups have to answer questions on how the Earth's atmosphere has changed from the past till present. Students answer each question in turn and can only have a go at the next question once the teacher has confirmed their answer is correct. The group quickest to complete the questions are the winners. Students love these relay activities, it encourages competition and team work and typically takes 10 mins to complete.
Group 2 Chemistry hexagons
