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.

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 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.

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.

Resource includes a powerpoint which covers: Alpha amino acids Zwitterions Isoelectric point Acid and alkaline conditions Example questions and answers The lesson encourages pupils to think for themselves. There are hints included to help the students which can be removed for a more able class.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
