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.

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.
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 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 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.
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.
A traffic light quiz on paper chromatography, students hold up the relevant coloured card to answer the questions in the quiz. Suitable for the new 2018 Chemistry GCSE. I use it as a plenary at the end of the lesson.
A 20 minute group work activity on calculating pH. Split class into 4 groups, each group containing all levels of ability (so that the brighter students can help the lower ability.) Each group given one of 4 questions to solve. Teacher circulates giving hints where needed. Once each group has solved their question (allow 5-10 mins). students then return to their original seat and have to teach the solution to their question to their colleague. A great way to encourage group work and has always been graded as an outstanding lesson when observed by leadership. Answers are included and a 5th question included at the end of the activity to illustrate progress.
