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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Powerpoint to recap all the main types of bonding.

4 PowerPoint slides that can be printed out for pupils to fill in. Summarises the whole of the Transition Element module in A2 OCR A Chemistry. Please leave feedback if you use this.

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

Complete lesson plan with powerpoint, games and worksheets to introduce standard enthalpy of neutralisation, formation, reaction, neutralisation and combustion. Suitable for new AS OCR A Chemistry spec.

A recap of how to name alkanes, alkenes and alcohols (for low ability). Pupils are put in groups and each group is given a list of rules for how to name hydrocarbons. One person from each group collects a card from the teacher with a picture of a hydrocarbon. They take it back to their group and use the rules to name the card. Someone from the group brings the card back to the teacher, states the correct answer and collects the next card. The first team to name all 8 pictures wins.

Cut out pictures and laminate. Pupils put cards in order from most acidic to most alkaline. If you have Smartboard, they can then drag the names into the right order before you reveal the correct answer (behind the blue box). Alternatively, you can reveal the answers on the Powerpoint. Please leave feedback.

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

A powerpoint to teach metallic bonding and structure to Year 12. It takes the form of a series of questions for pupils to attempt to answer from their GCSE knowledge before the answers are revealed. Goes well with my metal bingo starter. Please leave feedback.

Powerpoint explaining hydrogen bonding. OCR A spec. Answers to starter: Van der Waal Forces Permanent Dipole Ionic

Powerpoint to explain cracking with activities. I demonstrated the cracking of paraffin. You need molymods for the pupils to act out cracking. I did this as a starter - http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/4-Pics-1-Word-C1a-6370544/

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

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

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.

Complete scheme of work for chapter 4.1.2 of AQA Chemistry (Trilogy) covering: Structure of the periodic table History of the periodic table Metals and non-metals Noble gases Alkali metals Halogens Transition Elements The whole unit should take 6 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!
