This is a lesson on sodium chloride electrolysis designed for a triple set (top set) GCSE science group following the OCR Gateway science specification (C2H). The electrolysis is shown as a demo with students having previously carried out their own copper sulphate electrolysis practical. The lesson is designed to be fast paced with plenty of stretch and challenge as befits this set with students aiming for A* grades. Slides 5 (labelling) and 18 (extension activity) can be printed 6 slides per A4. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

This is an AS level chemistry revision resource that can be used in lesson as a plenary, for AFL or set as homework. Alternatively it can be used as part of a revision lesson.

This is a set of 6 trump cards on separating mixtures. They cover distillation, filtration, decanting, paper chromatography, magnet and gel electrophoresis (challenge). The PowerPoint can be modified. The Word document is printed and laminated. These can be used for Key Stage 3 groups as well as lower ability GCSE groups. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a peer editing exam question task on polarity for AS Chemistry. Students use the glossary keywords to answer an exam question. To help develop exam writing skills there are 3 graded questions based on the exam question. Students answer each of these questions then pass the sheet on to their partner to peer edit their work - such as by adding more detail from the glossary. The actual mark scheme is provided for students to assess themselves against. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is the 6th of my AFL strategies. Tarsia are an excellent and fun way of carrying out AFL. This is because the shape expected is generated if the correct answers are matched up. These are science tarsia and more of these will be added. Please leave feedback and rate the resources if you find them useful or have suggestions as to how they can be improved.

This is a fun activity for lower ability groups that introduces pollution at GCSE. Cryptogram 1 is easier and cryptogram 2 is more challenging. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This covers LiAlH4, reaction mechanisms, relative reactivity of carbonyl compounds. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a set of revision resources for electrolysis GCSE that suit students with a variety of abilities. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This a question sheet for students and an answer sheet for a YouTube video from The Fuse School on acid rain. The link to the video is in the worksheets. There is lots of differentiation for lower ability through the use of a wordbank and gap fill activities. Differentiation for higher ability is through use of chemical formulae, open questions and use of keywords such as 'enzyme' and 'combustion'. AFL is carried out by getting students to peer assess each others work and giving a total number of marks. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? revision quiz designed for Edexcel AS unit 1 inorganic chemistry that would suit all exam boards. There are a total of 15 questions that cover these topics: gas moles, calculating moles, polarisation, ionic bonding, halogen bonding, volume conversion, concentration conversion, group 2 carbonates and enthalpy of combustion. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a rates of reaction exam keywords glossary for GCSE that supports AQA additional science chemistry C2.4. Learning and applying keywords such as these has a positive impact on exam performance. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

These are a comprehensive selection of chemistry keywords that students use at KS3 and GCSE. I have taken a lot of time to create this resource so that each keyword is carefully linked to Blooms taxonomy, cognitive demand and grades. This is explained in detail in the comments document. These keywords as a display will not only improve literacy in science but also make students aware of the words that they should be using at a particular target grade. Please rate this resource and leave a comment.

I have created a laminated chemicals, elements and compounds cardsort that is colour coded and kept in A4 plastic wallets. Red = acid, blue = alkali / CO2 / water, grey = metals, non-metals = elemental colours where possible. I make 6 lots of these so that I have one set per table. They can be used to: (1) make word equations (and by extension symbol equations), (2) sort metals from non-metals, (3) sort acids from bases (4) sort elemental metals from alloys. Many other uses also. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

Templates are provided that can be readily modified. One template is a GCSE revision template where students are guided to create their own exam questions and peer edit answers. The second template is useful for writing Blooms-leveled answers at Key Stage 3 and includes a wordbank. The third is an AS Chemistry exam question with keyword glossary. All templates include written instructions for students. Peer editing is great when combined with AFL strategies before and after the activity.

Acid rain cryptogram.

This is designed to be a laminated class set of photos and information on 12 rocks. On the reverse of each photo is a 'Did you know&' section which can be used to stimulate interest.

Question sheet for pupils on the impact of using crude oil on the environment. Also attached are information sheets on crude oil.

This is a periodicity tarsia activity for students studying AS level Chemistry. This works really well when students also use the glossary provided. The second slide is the slide that is printed on A4 and then cut out. the third slide is a slide that can be modified. Please leave feedback.

This is a graded task sheet designed for independent working. There is differentiation by keyword, website and task. All students make an advert explaining how the materials work and bright and capable students can design their own materials. The grade A website is very detailed and provides stretch and challenge up to A* so students need to be selective in what they read. I have included a document that provides detail about the reading complexity and reading age of the websites. Please leave a comment if you find this useful or if you think that it can be improved.

This is a fun match up activity that provides instant AFL because the correct shape is generated by matching up the 12 correct answers. This can be a main activity or a fun 10 minute plenary. The topic is hydrocarbons and was used to teach the OCR Gateway C1 syllabus to year 10 GCSE students. Please leave feedback and rate this resource if you find it useful.
