This bundle includes a complete lesson on naming hydrocarbons and a fun quiz on naming alkanes and cycloalkanes, based on the format used by A Question of Sport in their picture quiz. The complete lesson on naming alkanes and alkenes features a 38 slide interactive, animated PowerPoint as well as a starter activity and plenary (quiz activity) along with a 13 page workbook and a lesson plan. Exam tips and answers to all exercises are provided. The quiz can be used as a team or individual activity, using mini whiteboards to write the answers. A linked interactive PowerPoint, with answers and explanations, is provided along with full teaching notes. Please review!

Unique package of interactive PowerPoint and paper-based activities that can be used for independent self-study, revision or in the classroom. These resources cover AS and A2 infrared (IR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry through two interactive PowerPoint presentations, which are colourful, animated and present the information in a flexible way. Each PowerPoint slide contains links to other slides, to enable easy navigation and to emphasise links between different aspects. A method for interpreting infrared and mass spectra is given, in each case illustrated by animated examples with spectra and structures to aid understanding of the process. Also included are two graded worksheet including problems where unknown structures are identified. Full answers to exercises are provided. This resource was developed primarily for the OCR A level Chemistry specification but is useful for all specifications. It relates to the following sections : AS: Module 4 – Core organic chemistry Part 2 – Alcohols, haloalkanes and analysis 4.2.4 Analytical techniques A2: Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis Part 3 – Analysis 6.3.2 Spectroscopy (Combined techniques) Please review!
