This resource covers the key concepts in the AQA A-Level Chemistry topic 3.1.1 Atomic Structure. Covers the history of the atomic model, fundamental particles, mass number, isotopes and mass spectrometry (3.1.1.1 & 3.1.1.2). Worked examples are included at regular intervals to demonstrate how to answer common problems in the topic.

I have collated a range of different question types in this activity sheet based on Hess' Law thermochemical cycles. The focus is on using standard enthalpy of combustion and standard enthalpy of formation data to perform the required calculations. Suitable for all major exam boards, solutions provided.

This presentation is a comprehensive tutorial for the shapes of molecules section of the Bonding topic (3.1.3.5). The concepts of VSEPR theory are clearly laid out with step-by-step instructions and examples to highlight ideas involved. The tutorial ends with a range of molecules to encourage students to think through a range of examples found in previous exam questions.

Every single learning grid to cover all the AQA A-Level (Years 1 and 2) topics (inorganic, physical and organic) for the new AQA A-Level Chemistry specification, that's 30 topic areas - a total of 60 grids. There are no grids for Optical isomerism and Kp and the topics are rather short. The learning grids are ideal for end of topic revision. Students work in small groups and roll 2 dice to determine a square on the grid. They then have to explain to the rest of the group what is contained in the square. An alternative to make this more challenging is to roll both dice 2 times and determine 2 squares. The student then has to make a link between the contents of both squares. Each grid has a second grid containing 6 ? If students land on one of these squares they must answer an exam-style question on the topic. Each learning grid has a revision checklist with it

This resource is a worksheet looking at the evidence for intermolecular forces. Students have to plot boiling point data and interpret the trends they find. Solutions provided.

Designed as a collaborative revision task. The learning grid allows groups of 2/3 students to work together to review the topic. Each student rolls 2 dice to get a 'grid reference' and they then have to explain what is contained in that square. This can be made more challenging by rolling the dice twice and making links between the 2 squares identified. There is a second version attached which allows students to land on a ? square, where they answer an exam-style question. Includes a learning checklist for the topic. Suitable for current A2 CHEM4 and new A-Level 3.1.9 Rate Equations.

This homework resource contains a series of questions relating to AQA AS/Year 1 Chemistry 3.2.2 - Group 2 the alkaline earth metals. Equally suitable as a revision task for this topic. Full solutions are provided.

Designed as a collaborative revision task. The learning grids allow groups of 2/3 students to work together to review the topic. Each student rolls 2 dice to get a 'grid reference' and they then have to explain what is contained in that square. This can be made more challenging by rolling the dice twice and making links between the 2 squares identified. There is a second version attached which allows students to land on a ? square, where they answer an exam-style question. Includes a learning checklist for the topic. This pack covers Thermodynamics, Rate Equations, Electrochemical Cells and Acids & Bases (no Kp as the topic is rather short).

This resource is intended as a collaborative revision activity. It is suitable for the organic chemistry topic (5.7) in the new AQA Trilogy Science qualification. Students work in small groups and take turns to roll 2 dice in order to determine a square on the grid. The student must then describe/explain the contents of the square to the rest of the group. This can be made more challenging by determining two separate squares and making links between them both. Differentiated for Foundation and Higher students, with a version containing ? squares to allow for the use of exam-style questions in addition. Includes a learning checklist for the topic.

This pack now contains 12 resources to help with revising types of bonding at GCSE, including clock revision, differentiated bonding tasks, 'A to Z', exam success summaries, Splat!, song lyrics, the Memory House and now updated with Taboo. A range of different revision techniques are used. Full instructions and editable templates are included. Suitable for current Additional Science C2.1 & C2.2 and new AQA GCSE Chemistry (4.2).

Successive ionisation energies and first ionisation energy across a period are used to provide evidence for electronic structures. Students must plot graphs of the data provided and use them to interpret the ideas involved. Solutions provided.

This resource is designed to test students' abilities when calculating empirical formulas and is then extended to molecular formulas. Harder extension question are at the end and solutions are provided.

AS Chemistry/Year 1 A-Level Chemistry Kinetics revision task. The learning grid allows groups of 2 or 3 students to work together to review the topic. Each student rolls 2 dice to get a 'grid reference' and they then have to explain what is contained in that square. This can be made more challenging by rolling the dice twice and making links between the 2 squares identified. There is also a second grid to allow opportunity to answer exam-style questions (given by ?). Checklist included.

Lesson plan to cover the introduction of GCSE rates of reaction. Covers activation energy and an explanation of how particles react, then a treatment of what a rate of reaction actually means and how it can be calculated.

Designed as a collaborative revision task. The learning grid allows groups of 2 or 3 students to work together to review the topic.

Homework resource to assess understanding of C2.4 Rates of reaction topic. Split into 2 sections - multiple choice and longer responses. I have also made this suitable for use with the new AQA GCSE spec. All solutions provided. Please let me know if there are any glaring errors so that I can correct them.

This is an example of my chemistry learning grids, available for both GCSE and A-Level. They have been designed as collaborative revision tasks, allowing groups of 2/3 students to work together to review the topic. Each student rolls 2 dice to get a ‘grid reference’ and they then have to explain what is contained in that square. This can be made more challenging by rolling the dice twice and making links between the 2 squares identified. There is a second version attached which allows students to land on a ? square, where they answer an exam-style question. Includes a learning checklist for the topic.
