Each game board increases in difficulty starting with the basics then progressing through CVC and then CVCC.
An A-Level Chemistry resource on the mechanisms of organic compounds. The worksheet requires students to write the mechanisms for the free radical substitution reaction of alkanes with chlorine, electrophillic addition of alkenes with bromine, hydrogen bromide (include markovnikovs rule and the inductive effect). The worksheet also requires students to draw mechanisms for the reactions of halogenoalkanes with hydroxide ions (nucleophilic substution/elimination) and with cyanide ions and ammonia. Answers to every question is provided with every mechanism drawn on the answer sheet. Suitable for the new 2015 A-Level chemistry syllabus. Is an excellent revision resource for organic chemistry.
A worksheet on the AQA GCSE combined physics (trilogy) topic forces in action. Covers an example of the different types of forces calculations that students need to learn. Is a useful revision resource at the end of the topic enabling students to revise the practice the several equations that they need to learn. Answers are included.
A variety of resources for the new AQA GCSE Physics syllabus on electric circuit symbols. There’s a cut & stick “design your own circuit activity”, a Tarsia activity, a table for students to write in the name of the component and its function. There’s also a diagram which requires the components of an electric circuit to be labelled. Answers to all resources are included.
An A-Level Chemistry worksheet on amino acids. Contains seven sections of questions increasing in difficulty. Covers the whole topic of amino acids including IUPAC naming, zwitterions, melting point, reactions with acid, hydroxide, carbonate, halogenoalkane, acyl (acid) chloride etc. Also includes questions on peptides, hydrolysis, polypeptides and proteins. Answers are included. Is a resource which comprehensively covers the whole of the amino acid theory suitable for the new 2015 A-Level syllabuses.
An AQA Physics GCSE knowledge organiser on the P2 topic “Particles at work: Electric circuits”. contains information on current and charge, potential difference and resistance, component characteristics, IV characteristics graphs, series and parallel circuits. Relevant for the new 2016 specification.
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.
A AQA GCSE knowledge organiser on the topic Chemical analysis. Includes information on pure substances, formulations, chromatography, testing for gases, positive and negative ions and flame emission spectroscopy. Suitable for the new 2016 syllabus.
A bundle of resources on GCSE physics. Topics include forces in action calculations, electric circuit symbols and a knowledge organiser on electric circuits. Relevant for the new AQA GCSE 2016 syllabus.
A bundle of more than 30 resources (some are on a zip file) on the A-Level Chemistry topic “Transition metals”. There is a complete unit of work with lesson Power Points and worksheets (with answers.) There are then revision resources on the reactions of transition metals, complexes, ligand exchange, colour etc. Includes knowledge organisers, worksheets (with answers), spider diagrams of reactions, a game, card match activities, plenaries & starters etc. Answers to resources included. Relevant for the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry Exams across all syllabuses. All you will need to teach Transition metals is here.
A set of revision structure strips on the new AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus for paper 1. The structure strips fit into the margins of an exercise book and students write the answer to each question in the lines beside. 190 questions covers topics Atomic structure, periodic table, structure and bonding, chemical changes, electrolysis and energy changes. Answers to every question provided.
The whole of GCSE triple science organic chemistry on one A3 page. This is a knowledge organiser covering crude oil, fractional distillation, alkenes, fuels, alcohols, carboxylic acids, manufacture of ethanol, natural polymers, condensation polymers, nucleotides and DNA. A word file set up to print in A3 and covers everthing that the triple Science Chemistry students need to know for the new GCSE AQA 2016 Chemistry syllabus.
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.
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.
