There are 25 revision questions in the form of an advent calendar. Could be used as a starter or a plenary quiz. Just click on the screen and the next numbered question appears.
A xmas vocabulary sheet on Science command words. The resource is an editable Power Point file. Contains important vocabulary such as Calculate, explain, justify, evaluate etc.
A GCSE knowledge organiser on the AQA Organic chemistry topic “polymers”. contains information on addition polymerisation of alkenes, condensation polymerisation reactions, polysaccharides and DNA. Relevant for the new 2016 AQA syllabus.
An Knowledge organiser on A-Level organic chemistry, the hydrocarbons (Alkanes and alkenes) including: naming, intermolecular forces, general formulae, structual & Geometric isomers, reactions of alkanes: oxidation and free radical substitution (with chlorine). Reactions of alkenes with hydrogen, bromine water, steam, hydrogen halides, potassium managanate. Covalent bonding (sigma/pi bonds), addition polymerisation, use as fuels, fractional distillation, cracking reforming etc. Mechanisms: Free radical substitution and electrophilic addition (markovnikov & the inductive effect). The resource will print onto A4 and then can be expanded clearly onto A3. A PDF file and an editable PowerPoint file is included allowing editing if desired.
A set of Mass Spectra cards suitable for the new 2015 A-Level chemistry syllabus. Students complete each card, identifying the peaks and answering the questions. 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.
A resource for the AQA A-Level Chemistry syllabus on colours of transition metals. Students cut and stick the transition metal complexes and match them up to their colours.
An A-Level Chemistry Transition metal revision resource including a game board and questions. Land on a square with a star and you have to answer a question. Questions are included with answers and are relevant for all A-Level exam boards.
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on equilibrium. Covers knowledge on Le Chatelier’s principle, examples of how equilibrium is affected, equations for Kc and Kp, partial pressure, mole fraction etc. Also information on the Haber process and the Haber compromise, dynamic equilibrium etc. A comprehensive organiser that covers everything that students need to know on equilibrium in year 12 and 13.
A Card match exercise for A-Level Chemistry Transition metals. Students cut out and then match up the transition metal complex reactions and associated colours. Cards include reactions with hydroxide ions and ammonia. Answers are included.
An A-Level chemistry knowledge organiser on Infrared spectra. Contains everything the students need to know about Infrared for the new Edexcel 2015 syllabus including: Examples of spectra for OH, C=O, COOH, C=C, C-H, N-H functional groups. Also includes a data table of absorptions and information on the types of stretches (asymmetric, bending etc). Information about how molecules bonds vibrate is also included.
An A-Level Chemistry resource which can be used as a starter/plenary on spectrometry. Student are given various physical data (melting point, solubility, rotation of polarised light, elemental analysis) and spectra (IR, NMR, Mass spec and pH). Students have to pull all the information together to identify the compound. The unknown compound is an amino acid, so it consolidates knowledge on chirality, solubility, zwitterions, pH and then understanding of the various spectroscopic techniques. takes about 10 mins for students to complete, answers are included on the last slide.
A bundle of three resources on the A-Level concept calculating empirical formulae. The resources include a differentiated calculations sheet (with answers) with each section increasing in difficulty. A class relay activity is included, which involves students working in groups to solve empirical formula problems. Both resources combined encourages active participation and takes about an hour to complete.
Structure strips for the AQA GCSE Chemistry topic “Structure and bonding”. Structure strips go into the margin of an exercise book and students write in their answers beside each question. This is one of a series of structure strips that I have made for the new 2017 GCSE specification. There are 45 questions in this set and answers are included.
A GCSE Chemistry knowledge organiser on topic 2 structure and bonding suitable for the new 2018 GCSE AQA syllabus. Contains information on the structure and bonding of ionic, simple covalent, giant covalent, graphene, fullerenes, metals and alloys. Includes descriptions and diagrams of their structure and explanation of how their strucutre links to their physical properties (melting & boiling points, conductivity etc.
A Starter activity on the A-Level Chemistry topic Transition metals. Students are given several definitions of a transition metal and need to rank them in order, giving explanations why why they have done it in that order. An excellent activity that challenges their understanding on the structure of transition metals and works well as a discussion starter for the lesson.
An AQA Chemistry GCSE resource showing students how to calculate reacting masses from chemical equations. Teaches students to calculate how much of a product will be formed from a known mass of reactant.
