Spec 1.3.1-2 Transition metals (Recommended Teaching time – 1 hour)
Lesson preparation:
Demonstration: Have some examples of transition metals to show the class.
I recommend the Chemsheets worksheet called Where in the periodic table
Suggested teaching:
Slide 2: Starter questions (Differentiated alternative on slide 4)
Slide 5: Periodic table recap questions
Slide 7: A recap of the groups of the periodic table, showing where the transition metals are
Slide 8: Demonstration of some transition metals.
Slide 9: Task where students realise that they can’t work out the charge on the ion that transition metals form (also allows recap of working out charges on ions)
Slide 11-13: Going through the other key features of transition metals.
Slide 14: Opportunity to discuss the difference between physical and chemical properties while comparing the transition metals to the alkali metals.
Spec 1.2.5 The alkali metals (Two hours suggested teaching time)
Lesson preparation:
[Demonstration] The physical properties and reactions of the alkali metals
Could print the table on slide 11
Could print the exam questions on slide 21
Suggested teaching:
Lesson 1:
Slides 2-4: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is an optional and differentiated alternative starter).
Slide 5-6: Recap of forming ions with a focus on the group 1 elements.
Slides 7-8: (Hidden) Alternative recap, potentially for lower ability students on electron configurations.
Slide 9-11: Here you can demonstrate the properties and reactions of the alkali metals. If materials are unavailable, students could compare the animations of the reactions on slide 10. There is a table on slide 11 to record their observations.
Lesson 2:
Slides 12-14: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is an optional and differentiated alternative starter).
Slides 15-16: A recap of the observations and reactions of the alkali metals.
Slides 17-20: Explaining the reactivity of the alkali metals, with a selection of differentiated slides to help.
Slides 21-22: Practice exam style questions.
6 Presentations covering each required practical that may be examined in new AQA A Level Chemistry papers.
Each presentation covers relevant techniques, often with explanation and has built in practice questions.
This organic reaction map is designed to help students learn the reactions and conditions to required to convert between different functional groups in the AQA A level course.
There are four possible sheets (with increasing information):
Sheet one - Just the different functional groups and their conversions.
Sheet two - Includes sheet one + the displayed formulas of the molecules
Sheet three - Includes sheet two + the types of reactions
Sheet four - Includes sheet three + the reagents and conditions required for each.
The different sheets allow different levels of scaffolding for the pupils in your class or the final sheet may just be provided as a summary sheet for revision purposes.
Any questions or errors please tweet me @Chemedify.
As the title says - "dingbats" for structure and bonding keywords (GCSE or A Level chemistry).
The answers are in the notes below the slides.
Tweet me @Mr_S_WHSG if you want dingbats for any other topics - I genuinely enjoy making them!
Included is:
A full booklet with explanations, strategically placed questions and worked examples (ideal as a guide for a teacher or independent learning).
A booklet of just the questions (ideal to supplement lessons).
A booklet with the answers.
Spec 1.1.2 Mixtures – Could be up to three hours of teaching
Lesson(s) preparation:
Practical – Separating salt and sand
Practical – Paper chromatography
Demonstration – Variety of separation techniques
Rational: An opportunity to get some important practical work into a topic where opportunities are limited
Suggested teaching:
Lesson 1 (Slides 1-9)
Slide 4: Introduction of what a mixtures is by application of the definition
Slides 6-8: The planning and implementation of a method to separate a water soluble substance from and insoluble substance.
Slide 9: Gives an opportunity to discuss the change in properties when substances are chemically combined, linking back to previous lessons.
Lesson 2/3 (Slides 10-18)
Slides 10-11: Opportunity to summarise methods of separation and perhaps demonstrate them.
Slides 12-14: Paper chromatography practical
Slide 15: An opportunity to evidence their understanding of the difference between mixtures, elements and compounds
Spec 2.3 Metals and non-metals (One hour suggested teaching time)
Lesson(s) preparation:
[Practical] – Investigating properties of materials (Circuit with bulb and crocodile clips, glass rod, iron nail, copper strip, piece of wood, Perspex trip, piece of ceramic etc…)
Could print slides 6, 7, 18 & 18
Rationale:
Often the comparison of metals and non-metals is overlooked. I like to get students to identify the difference in properties and then apply the properties to unknowns. Here they should notice that general properties don’t always apply to all.
Suggested teaching:
Slides 2-4: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is optional differentiated)
Slide 5: A general introduction to the idea of metals and non-metal and the key properties.
Slide 6: Practical (no method given as it is fairly straightforward). Get them to identify the properties of different materials in the room, depending on ability they may need support in identifying them as metals or non-metals.
Slides 7-8: Summarising the properties of metals and non-metals.
Slides 9-10: Applying properties of metals and non-metals, they will need to apply a best fit approach for some of them (like mercury and graphite!)
Slides 11-15: Introduction of how metals and non-metals form ions when they react.
Measure the rate of reaction by; a. initial rate method; b. continuous rate method.

Investigate how the rate of reaction changes with temperature
This resource was developed for a theory revision lesson but could also be used to introduce concepts.
It includes methodology, explanation and typical exam questions.
This formed part of an A2 revion session of model exam questions.
Exam questions answered surrounded:
Colour in transition metal complexes.
Recrystallisation.
Titrations.
Concentrations & colorimetry.
N.B.
The maths in chemistry section applies to the calculations for A-Level chemistry book by Jim Clark of 'chemguide.com' http://www.amazon.co.uk/Calculations-AS-A-Level-Chemistry/dp/0582411270.
This is a Powerpoint that served as part of a revision session I ran with A2 chemists.
I used 'molymods,' and they had to makes transitions between all the functional groups in the Powerpoint using and molymods, whilst suggesting reagents.
