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.

A simple card sort, matching words to pictures. Examples include wavelength, amplitude, peak, trough etc. Made for a low ability group to recap the basics of waves and the wave equation. Feedback welcome.

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.

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.

Lesson explaining covalent bonding with questions.

Pupils cut out the 16 squares and sort into 4 piles - acids, bases, salts and water. They then use these to form neutralisation equations. These can then be stuck in books with + signs and arrows added to form correct word equations. Good for helping pupils to understand how to name salts.

A lesson plan for a lesson on precipitation reactions to form soluble salts, along with a worksheet for pupils to complete, and a PowerPoint to explain the process.

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.

A blank periodic table showing the first 36 elements. The names are listed at the bottom, pupils try to slot them into the right place from memory. A good starter, could be a competitions for who can get the most in the right place.

Students copy 3 x 2 grid into books and choose 6 words to write in grid. Each slide gives clues to the identity of a metal. students work out which metal it is and cross it off if they have it. First student to correctly get 3 in a row win. Created as a starter for a 11th Graders(junior) lesson on metallic.

A game for recapping the periodicity of boiling points.

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

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.

Pupils race against each other to solve the clues to work out the 6 covalent compounds being described. Full instructions in word document. My class loved this. Please leave feedback.
