A complete set of topic worksheets on the A-Level concept transition metals. I use these worksheets for my students as we go through the topic. Worksheets include questions on electronic configuration, definitions, colour, shapes, naming, ligand exchange, deprotonation and complex formation. Answers to every question is included.
Power Point on the acid base equilibria concept of Enthalpy of neutralisation. Compares the enthalpy of neutralisation of acids as per the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry Edexcel syllabus.
A KS4/5 Chemistry worksheet with a formulae grid, gives students practice on writing inorganic formula on molecules such as sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate etc. Answers included.
A-Level Chemistry equilibria calculations on Kc. Suitable for any syllabus. The worksheet is differentiated with each section increasing in difficulty. Contains one of every type of Kc question based on the last several years of exam questions. Starts with questions on the basics of Kc, then builds up to the harder exam standard Kc questions. Caters for all levels of ability. Answers are included. Takes about a double lesson to complete.
A bundle of 3 resources used to teach students how to draw Hess Law cycles. One of the resources is aimed at lower ability students showing them how to perform the calculation without having to draw the cycle.

A GCSE Chemistry knowledge organiser on the organic chemistry topic crude oil and fuels suitable for the new AQA Syllabus. Includes chemistry of the alkanes and alkenes (Crude oil, fractional distillation, cracking, fuels, reactions of alkanes and alkenes, naming, general formula and polymers.
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.
