An engaging lesson to cover the very dull topic of treating waste water, including worksheets, quizzes, videos and Q&A. This resource includes a complete lesson as well as a game (The Journey of a Poo). These can be bought separately for £3 so by buying together today, you will save £1.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Resource Includes: 1 hour of teaching A powerpoint covering how the carbon chain can be extended and the reactions of nitriles Questions and answers Lots of diagrams Please see my other A Level Chemistry resources. Follow me on Twitter for lots of ideas: @Teach_Chem602

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.

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.

This is an aspect of Chemistry that many pupils struggle with. The lesson starts with a whiteboard quiz which helps pupils to revise all the moles equations they have learnt so far. The powerpoint then takes pupils through step-by-step instructions for calculations involving balanced symbol equations. Lots of examples are given. I tried this lesson with my class and by the end, all were able to do the calculations. You can find lots more calculations questions here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/exam-style-calculations-for-module-2-of-new-ocr-chemistry-a-level-11273252

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.

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.

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.

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
