This workbook has massive crossover with other IGCSE Chemistry and GCSE chemistry syllabuses. Guaranteed to: Save you planning time Provide meaningful material for homework or classwork Can be set in sequence as separate assignments or could even be printed out in entirety and given to students at the start of the academic year. Topics covered: Particle Theory Density, pressure and diffusion Changes of state (solids, liquids and gases) Cooling curves Mixtures Separating mixtures (chromatography, distillation, filtration and crystallization) Atomic structure (including isotopes, RAM, electronic configurations. relative isotopic mass, relative molecular mass, relative formula mass and molar mass) Writing and balancing equations Molar calculations (including The Mole, Empirical Formula, Molecular Formula, Reacting Mass Calculations, Percentage Yield Ionic bonding Covalent bonding (including ‘dot and cross’ diagrams and ‘giant’ structures) Metallic bonding Electrolysis (solutions and molten compounds) The periodic table (groups and periods) Group 1 Group 7 Oxygen chemistry Carbon dioxide chemistry Hydrogen chemistry Reactivity series (including ‘galvanising’ and ‘sacrificial protection’ Extraction of metals Crude oil The only disadvantages of this resource are: It’s a big word document so might need a little tidying-up prior to printing There’s no answers with it yet (but I’m working on that)

This is a fun (and moderately challenging) crossword puzzle that would serve as an excellent starter, plenary or in-lesson activity for any radioactivity and isotopes class. This crossword tests students’ knowledge of: Isotopic/atomic structure The difference between alpha, beta and gamma radiation Knowledge of the isotopes of hydrogen (i.e. deuterium and tritium) Radioactive decay and half-life The use of Uranium-235 as an electricity generating fuel This is a lot of fun and my students loved it. If your kids have never learnt anything about the radioactivity and isotopes before, then you could provide the students with a summary to help them as they do the puzzle. In this pack you get a PPTX (which you can edit), a pdf version and a png of the puzzle itself (in case you want to project it on your interactive whiteboard for students to fill in).

This PowerPoint presentation goes through the basics of covalent bonding and is suitable for GCSE and IGCSE Level students. Covalent bonding is described as the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms, and care is taken to deliver the material in a paced, step-by-step fashion. This PPT assumes some knowledge of ionic bonding, so if you haven’t covered that topic yet, then you might want to delete those slides after download. Dot-and-cross diagrams are included: both with inner shells and simplified (only outer shells) formats - perfect for training students to be efficient in the exam. Activities included (feel free to edit or modify after download): Comparing bonding diagrams as a starter (spotting similarities and differences) Main teaching content (beginning from first principles with simple atomic structure, leading into covalent bond formation) Think map to compare ionic and covalent bonding (feel free to remove if needed) Drawing dot-and-cross and stick diagrams as a plenary ***Learning outcomes are included, so this is a great ‘box ticker’ for an observation lesson. *** Some syllabus references that this PPT satisfies (to name but a few): AQA GCSE Chemistry: **4.2.1.1 Chemical Trends:**Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metallic elements and in compounds of non-metals. 4.2.1.4 Covalent Bonding: When atoms share pairs of electrons, they form covalent bonds. These bonds between atoms are strong 4.2.1.4 Covalent Bonding: The covalent bonds in molecules and giant structures can be represented in the following forms (dot and cross and ball and stick examples given in the specification) **Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry: ** 1.44: Know that a covalent bond is formed between atoms by the sharing of a pair of electrons 1.45: Understand covalent bonds in terms of electrostatic attractions 1.46: Understand how to use dot-and-cross diagrams to represent covalent bonds
