A two hour lesson covering practical skills for organic synthesis and synthetic routes in organic synthesis. Diagrams, activities and questions included. Individual whiteboards for the pupils would be useful but if you don't have them, scrap paper would be fine. Designed for use with the new OCR AS level and compliments the Pearsons textbook. Check out my other organic resources.

Complete lesson with two alternative starter activities (depending on the ability of your class), a practical, lots of activities, videos, homework suggestion and an AfL task at the end. Extra information (including image credits) is included in the notes section under the slides. I am currently making a complete scheme of work for the new chemistry spec so please keep checking back.

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!

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.

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.

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 basic introduction to the structure of atoms, aimed at a lower ability group - but could be adapted for higher.

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.
