This is a one page summary of everything covered in the Energy Changes unit of the AQA new specification for Chemistry. Can be used for revision at the end of the unit, or at the start to introduce key ideas. Includes information for Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. - Exothermic and endothermic reactions - Energy change of reactions - Bond energy calculations - Cells, batteries and fuel cells

A revision lesson based around the s=summer 2018 exam question on crystalisation. This question was common to both H and F tier. Covers naming salts and reactants, the steps for crystalisation, naming apparatus and looks at the general mark scheme to this question.

This is a revision lesson based around the summer 2018 ionic bonding exam question common to both H and F tier. Covers: identifying and understanding the command word, key words and their definitions, identifying if an ionic bond is formed, using the periodic table to find the number of electrons in an atom, forming ions. Model answer included that extends to cover answers for 6 mark questions.

Revision of the key concepts with a focus on key words. I used the GCSE pod video to help the students answer the questions on slide 2, but any suitable video could be used.

Revision of basic concepts with a focus on key words for starter and plenary. Using molymod kids to build and help visualise the molecules.

This lesson has lots of discussion and debate. Encourages students to think about the materials that we use and how important they are to ourselves and other groups of people. Looks at the limited materials we have an how long they may last. Data task on recycling aluminium. You will need to print the information on slide 9.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification), but may also be useful for higher sets at GCSE. Review of knowledge of C/A's and esters from GCSE. Practical making an ester using the simple method freely available from RSC (link on slide) and a differentiated task for once they have finished.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification) on the hydrolysis of esters and its importance. Saponification, biodiesel, transesterification, hydrolysis in acidic and alkaline conditions. The practical here is making soap and detergent - method included.
