A fun way to practice oxidation numbers. Pupils move forwards or backwards on the board, depending on whether the oxidation number is positive or negative. My class really enjoyed this.

Complete lesson including starter activity to recap nomenclature, instructions on how to draw and name isomers and questions.

Pupils will learn what a simple covalent compound is and how to draw them. Includes suggested practical which can lead into talking about the properties of simple molecules. It is important that you carry out your own risk assessment before doing any practical activities. A competitive game is included, as well as a homework sheet which will allow them to practice the main compounds that they need to know.

Created for AQA GCSE C3, this resource will also be relevant to other specifications as well as AS Chemistry. The lesson takes pupils through step by step instructions for naming and drawing esters and provides questions for pupils to try as well as suggested follow-up activities.

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.

Lesson includes a powerpoint, worksheet, questions and suggestions for practicals. It is important that you do your own risk assessment before carrying out any practicals.

This comprehensive resource contains five 1 hour lessons, animations to clearly explain electrolysis, work sheets, , experiment suggestions, questions, activities and revision resources. All of the answers are included so this would be suitable for a non-specialist. Please see notes at the bottom of powerpoint slides for extra information, links to other resources and image credits. I welcome feedback. Content covered includes: -What electrolysis is and why we do it (including a recap of ionic bonding) -Electrolysis of ionic compounds when melted and when in solution -How to work out what is produced at each electrode -Half equations -Oxidation and reduction -Electrolysis of aluminium oxide -Electrolysis of sodium chloride solution -Electroplating Created for AQA specification but could easily be adapted to other exam boards.

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.

Very engaging lesson, includes game, practical, assessment and differentiated tasks. I was observed teaching this lesson for AQA C3 a couple of years ago and was graded outstanding. The lesson takes 2 hours so you can split it at a point that you feel appropriate (our school does 2 hour lessons as standard). All explanations for activities can be found in the notes underneath the slide, along with picture and video credits. I am working on a full SOW for the new AQA spec so check back soon. Please leave feedback.

Complete scheme of work for chapter 4.1.1 of AQA Chemistry (Trilogy) covering: Atoms, elements and compounds Basics of the periodic table Separating mixtures History of the atomic model Structure of the atom Electronic configuration The whole unit should take 7 hours to teach. Resource includes lesson plans, complete powerpoints, starter activities, lots of main activities, assessment for learning, homework and worksheets. Some activities are differentiated for different abilities. Each lesson is linked closely with the AQA scheme of work. More chapters coming soon!

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

Complete 2 hour lesson covering: Introduction to atoms, elements and compounds Basics of the periodic table Chemical equations Balancing equations This tried and tested lesson includes lots of activities, assessment for learning, a worksheet and a suggested demonstration. The whole of chapter 4.1 for the new syllabus can be purchased here for only £5: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/complete-sow-for-new-aqa-chemistry-syllabus-chapter-4-1-atomic-structure-and-the-periodic-table-11296756 Follow me on Twitter for lots of teaching ideas: @teach_chem602

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is an aspect of Chemistry that many pupils struggle with. The lesson starts with a whiteboard quiz which helps pupils to revise all the moles equations they have learnt so far. The powerpoint then takes pupils through step-by-step instructions for calculations involving balanced symbol equations. Lots of examples are given. I tried this lesson with my class and by the end, all were able to do the calculations. You can find lots more calculations questions here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/exam-style-calculations-for-module-2-of-new-ocr-chemistry-a-level-11273252

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.
