This lesson presumes prior knowledge of electrophilic substitution. Pupils try to work out the mechanisms involved in the reaction. Includes diagrams and questions.

This resource includes: A powerpoint At least 2 hours of teaching Lots of diagrams Questions and answers You will need molymods for one of the activities. The powerpoint includes lots of questions and answers, however I recommend printing some exam questions from the OCR legacy papers as homework. For copy write reasons, I cannot include exam questions with the resource.

Powerpoint to recap all the main types of bonding.

36 revision questions spanning 6 pages to recap the whole of the benzene topic including structure, naming compounds, equations, reaction conditions and reaction mechanisms. Resource include a worksheet in both PDF and Word format as well as full answers.

Pictionoo (a mixture of pictionary and taboo!) Get the class into groups of 4. Within the group the pupils are in 2 teams. Print slides 2-5. All the other instructions are on the powerpoint. I made this years ago and can't remember where I got the NMR pictures from - if it is you, please let me know so I can credit you.

Easy to follow lesson that ends with pupils creating an anti-smoking advert. Could be recorded and played back to the class.

A complete lesson for introducing orders, the rate equation and rate constants. Includes questions and detailed answers, explaining exactly how to work out each question. I am in the process of creating a SOW for module 5 of the new OCR A Level so check back soon for more lessons.

1 hour lesson about acyl chlorides. Includes series of questions to help pupils work out the relevant equations, links to YouTube videos and a whiteboard quiz to recap knowledge. Check out my other A Level resources. Follow me on Twitter: @Teach_Chem602

I was not satisfied with the synthesis route diagrams provided in the textbooks so I made my own. The poster summaries all the reactions from AS and A2 organic chemistry. Extra versions are provided with some details missing for pupils to fill in. Then a white board quiz allows pupils to practice different reactions and synthesis routes and a card sort allows them to create a large synthesis map from memory. This tried and tested lesson was a hit with my students. Aromatic synthesis lesson to follow.

Cluedo-style game in which pupils try to identify the name of their neighbour's ionic compound using the results of chemical tests. My Year 13s found this game very engaging and did not want to stop playing! The resource also includes a summary of all the ions tests that they need to know, a blank copy of the summary for pupils to complete from memory and a card sort. Can be used for both AS and A2.

This lesson covers the causes and problems of pollution, including: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulates, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Included with this resource: A powerpoint which explains the key concepts Two practical activities (be sure to carry out your own risk assessment) Activities to test understanding A worksheet. You will need access to molymods. A current GCSE textbook would also be useful but not essential.

2 hour lesson which covers naming primary, secondary and tertiary amines, amines as bases, preparation of aliphatic amines and preparation of aromatic amines. Lots of questions and answers included in the powerpoint. Tried and tested with A Level classes.

A 1 hour lesson which uses a series of group-work tasks to help pupils understand how life cycle assessments are carried out. The tasks guide pupils to work out that life cycle assessments are not objective and that it is difficult to assign numerical figures to them.

Suitable for assessment for learning, an end of module test or for revision. After looking at the specimen and practice exam papers for the new OCR Specification, I noticed that the calculation questions have become more challenging than the old spec. I have written 18 questions and based them on a similar format to the new style of question (and included several ideal gas equation questions). I have included a markscheme which shows clearly how each answer is calculated, and suggested how many marks each question should be worth (the total number or marks for the questions is 126) but you can edit this as you see fit. I have checked the questions and answers several times (and tested them on my pupils) to make sure they are correct but if you notice any errors please let me know. Please also leave feedback if you find this resource helpful.

A clear and easy way for pupils to learn about bond enthalpies. Before teaching this lesson you need to have covered exothermic and endothermic reactions as well as calorimetry. The lesson includes a loop game starter to recap prior knowledge, explanation with animation, examples and questions for calculating bond enthalpies. Although created for GCSE, it would be a suitable introduction for AS students as well. You will need molymods and board pens. Calculators optional.

A two hour lesson covering practical skills for organic synthesis and synthetic routes in organic synthesis. Diagrams, activities and questions included. Individual whiteboards for the pupils would be useful but if you don't have them, scrap paper would be fine. Designed for use with the new OCR AS level and compliments the Pearsons textbook. Check out my other organic resources.

1 hour lesson about sewage treatment for the new AQA Chemistry Trilogy GCSE. Resource includes: Starter activity Links to relevant videos Quiz Flowchart to fill in Questions (with answers) Worksheets In addition to these resources you will need a current AQA textbook to complete the flowchart. A game is available to complement this lesson. You can buy it separately here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/sewage-game-the-journey-of-a-poo-for-new-aqa-gcse-syllabus-11613943 Or buy the lesson and game together and save £1: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/sewage-complete-lesson-and-game-11613959

Resource Includes: 1 hour of teaching A powerpoint covering how the carbon chain can be extended and the reactions of nitriles Questions and answers Lots of diagrams Please see my other A Level Chemistry resources. Follow me on Twitter for lots of ideas: @Teach_Chem602

Complete resource for teaching aluminium. Includes worksheets, activities and animations to clearly explain the process of electrolysis. Originally made for OCR, I have since used it for AQA. Please leave feedback. You can buy a complete scheme of work for electrolysis, which includes electrolysis of aluminium, here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/complete-electrolysis-scheme-of-work-for-gcse-11258103
