This relates to Module 3 of OCR A Level syllabus. Pupils try to match the questions to the correct answer to revise the topic.

Simple crossword to recap exothermic and endothermic reactions for AS Chemistry.

PowerPoint explaining polarity (dipoles) and electronegativity. Compliments OCR A syllabus but would probably go with others too.

A quiz in the format of an i-phone app. Pupils look at the 4 pictures and decide what the key word is using the letters at the bottom. All the words are linked to the Chemistry GCSE making this a useful revision aid. To those asking how you make your own, I used screen shots of the game (from Google) and copied and pasted my own images over the top. I then cut and pasted the correct letters from different screen shots to make sure the right letters were available. It was very time consuming but the pupils loved it so it was worth it.

Two pictures showing pollution with 10 differences. Simple starter for a low ability class.

A powerpoint explaining how to calculate enthalpy. Accompanies the OCR A scheme of work.

Questions covering all of the new specification. The questions summarise the entire content. Pupils can complete the questions for revision and use their textbooks to mark it. I wrote the questions using the content of the new Pearson's textbook and a couple of the calculation questions are from the book (pupils can look up their answers to these in the book). I have not proof read my work so apologies if there are typos! Please leave feedback if you use this resource.

An introductory lesson for ionic bonding. Includes animations to show how ions form and how to write ionic formulae. Lots of examples and practice questions for the class. A simple and effective way to introduce a difficult topic. Created for GCSE but I have used it as a starting point for teaching A Level as well because they forget everything they have learnt at GCSE!

A complete lesson covering Rusting. This resource includes: Powerpoint Outline for a practical Worksheets Questions Check out my many other GCSE and A Level Chemistry resources.

An engaging lesson to cover the very dull topic of treating waste water, including worksheets, quizzes, videos and Q&A. This resource includes a complete lesson as well as a game (The Journey of a Poo). These can be bought separately for £3 so by buying together today, you will save £1.

An engaging game to make a dull topic more interesting! Pupils are given a fact sheet to read about sewage, knowing they will need to answer questions on what they are reading. They then progress around the board, answering questions about different stages of sewage treatment in order to move their counter. A great way to revise the content - or even to teach it for the first time. This compliments my lesson on sewage which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/treating-waste-water-complete-lesson-about-sewage-for-new-aqa-chemistry-sow-2016-onwards-11397971 Buy as a bundle for £5 here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/sewage-complete-lesson-and-game-11613959

I have created a poster summarising all the key reactions that pupils need to know for aromatic organic synthesis. I recommend printing on A3. I have also included extra posters with parts removed - one has the names removed, another the conditions and another the display formulae. Pupils try to fill them in from memory. You could then set them the challenge of drawing the whole thing from memory. Finally there are 4 synthesis routes for pupils to plans (answer are in the notes). I recommend following this up with exam questions (for copyright reasons I cannot include these). An aliphatic synthesis lesson is also available to buy.

Flashcards summarising the whole of Chapter 6.2 (Nitrogen compounds, Polymers and Synthesis). Pupils often waste a lot of time making flashcards so I decided to make them for them. Idea for use: Print one set per pupil and let them cut them out. Ask them to sort them to sort them into three piles - green (good understanding), amber (some understanding) and red (no understanding). For every hour they spend revising, they should spend 30 minutes on red cards, 20 minutes on amber cards and 10 minutes on green cards. As they become more confident with red they can move to amber and from amber to green. Check back soon for more flashcards.

Complete 1 hour lesson to cover optical isomers, chiral carbons, polarised light, racemic mix and 3D drawings. The lesson includes a flipped learning worksheet that can be given to pupils for homework the previous lesson. If you do not use this, it is not a problem as the powerpoint covers everything. The homework could also be done after the lesson to recap. The powerpoint explains chirality with examples, questions and a video. The lesson finishes with a loop game.

Powerpoint which explains how to plot a titration curve, what it shows and which indicator to use. A worksheet is also included.

Pupils work in small groups. Role both dice to select a question. Pupil must answer the question. Other pupils in the group decide if they are correct (page numbers provided for Pearson's textbook, change as appropriate). If they get it correct, they colour in the square with their chosen colour. If they get it wrong, the rest of the group tell them the correct answer. If a square is selected that has already been coloured in, that pupil misses a turn. When all the squares are coloured, the winner is the one with the most squares. This is a very engaging game and lasts at least an hour. You might want to have mini whiteboards for the equation questions. Please see my other resources and follow me on Twitter @teach_chem602

A card sort to summarise orders in rates for A2 Chemistry. Cut the cards out, pupils sort them into 3 piles - zero order, first order, second order. The PowerPoint has the answers to the card sort. If you use my resource, please leave feedback.

Really engaging game which makes a great lesson starter if you want to wake your class up and get their brains working! Based on the excellent game "5 Second Rule", this quick-fire game involves answering questions in 5 seconds or less. Questions are taken from all three sciences, simply remove those that are not relevant to your specification. In addition to the resources here, you will also need a counter for each pupil and a timer for each group.

Pupils play top trumps using 5 categories - group number, relative atomic mass, atomic number, melting point and boiling point.
