Lesson planned for year twelve studying AQA AS Chemistry.
Covers:
Naming haloalkanes
Explaining the polarity of the C-X bond
Literacy activites
AfL opportunities and pupil tasks.
Powerpoint which covers all necessary for AQA A Level Chemistry New Specification.
Created using the AQA Scheme of Work for 7405.
Students complete the dominoes activity (not included, for sale here: https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/naming-organic-molecules-dominoes-11291711) and then an AS quick check from Chemsheets.co.uk (not included). Students make different organic compounds using molymods to try and figure out why they are non-superimposable. Students then draw some organic compounds and identify their chiral centres, with a short AfL activity. We go through the process of observing whether light is polarisable - using an old kerboodle resource (old spec kerboodle animation - you will need Chemistry A Level for AQA subscription - not A Level Sciences for AQA - although this is not necessary you can just talk through the process).
Students then look at thalidomide and ibuprofen.
Lesson has been created from the stereoisomer powerpoint freely available on chemsheets.co.uk.
A whole lesson on Collision theory and Maxwell-Boltmann distribution for the new AS AQA specification. Students are to work through a sheets from chemsheets (subscription needed) and includes some MCQs from Edexcel.
This resource has been produced following on from an AQA KS3 PD session. It involves students answering questions that cover the three strands of the AQA KS3 Spec (Know, Apply and Extend). Teachers mark (or students mark) and then intervention/DIRT tasks are completed at the back.
The intervention task for students extending contains a GCSE question. I haven't used this yet in lesson.
A worksheet for students to use to describe the physical properties of the halogens, there are some questions on displacement but it mainly focuses on the physical properties. Made for AQA NEW GCSE for a high ability Year9 group and to be used alongside YENKA. Will probably use it with my Year 12s as a introduction to Group 7.
Worksheet made for my triple chemists for writing the formula of ionic salts.
Students need to work out the ratio between the positive and negative ions in salts. Charges are given on the negative ions (these are new) but not on the positive ions.
A unit of lessons for Year 7.
