Worksheet for pupils to work out the rules for triangles in circles, tangent meeting the radius etc. I am not a Maths specialist so any feedback would be appreciated.

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.

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.

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.

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

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/

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.

A game for recapping the periodicity of boiling points.

Teaches students the meaning of the words "outlier", "ranger", "mean", "best estimate", "hypothesis" and "true value". Aimed at a lower ability group.

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

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.

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.

Students are in pairs. One person in each pair is facing the board and the other is facing away from the board. The person facing the board has 30 seconds to describe the key word before the slide moves on, without mentioning any of the "taboo"

A cutting and sticking activity in which pupils work out which points relate to overhead cables and which are for underground cables. Designed for my bottom set Year 10s. The negatives of each type of cable are not included but can be discussed when you go through the answers. Powerpoint with answers included. Feedback welcome.

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.

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.

Students given a sheet each and have a set amount of time to think of something for each category beginning with A, B, C, D and E. Prize can be given for best answers. This is just a fun starter to get students thinking at the start of a lesson. I have included some suggested answers.

A game in the style of the popular app. Pupils use the 4 pictures to work out what the key word is. All the words are taken from AQA C1a but could be used for other specs too. I've edited it to remove a couple of mistakes. Please leave feedback.
