AQA A-level Chemistry 3.3.10 Amines, naming and reactions - Full Unit Workbook with Answers
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.1.10 Amines - Lesson or Revision workbook and notes with answers
This workbook covers a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell Style note taking so the books can be used while you teach and students can add their own notes and ideas down the margin.
I have used colour consistently for the different types of sections to make the booklet more dyslexia friendly as I have found that chemistry notes and questions can often be very dense, and somewhat inaccessible for students who have dyslexia.
The workbook can also be produced as a revision guide for the topic and contains all the notes and practice past paper questions you would need to revise along with worked examples. Parent and student friendly.
This booklet is 20 pages long with answers to past paper questions provided at the back from page 16 onwards. It is provided in word and pdf.
Contents
Amine functional group
Naming amines with alkyl chains and naming priorities in organic chemistry
Preparation of amines by the reaction of ammonia with halogenoalkanes
Preparation of aliphatic amines by reduction of nitriles

GCSE Chemistry 'Big Ideas' Part 1 - Structure, Bonding and the Properties of Substances AQA, OCR, Edexcel
‘Big ideas’ in chemistry is about identifying and systematically teaching the overarching principles and crucial concepts your students need to become outstanding chemists. Many resources and books are produced with a single exam specification in mind which can leave your students with better knowledge in some areas than others and can make changing exam boards more difficult due to costs of resourcing. Liberate yourself from the exam specification and teach this amazing subject holistically ensuring your students have the detailed knowledge they need to gain confident mastery and an ability to apply their knowledge in unfamiliar scenarios. ‘Big ideas’ enables easier transfer between exam boards for students and teachers (especially non-specialists), and ‘connections’ enables you to place your own emphasis during teaching on concepts important to the actual exams your students will be sitting.
