Students identify compounds from the results of flame tests and anion tests. In the second task students describe the necessary tests to prove the identity of given compounds and state what results would be expected. Answers are provided.

Students have to complete a table with the ion formulae, a description of the type of test and then the result of the test. There are 10 ions. These include metals, halides and then carbonates and sulfates. Answers are provided below the table which lower ability students can select from or these can be removed for higher ability. Answers/completed table is included.

A revision resource with multiple choice questions from each of the statements in the Edexcel Key Concepts Ionic Bonding specification. Answers are provided.

16 multiple choice questions surrounding the Edexcel Key Concepts - Periodic Table specification. Ideal as a revision resource. Answers are provided.

15 Multiple choice questions based on the Edexcel specification, Key Concepts Atomic Structure, with a question for each of the statements. Ideal for use as revision material. Answers are provided.

A complete lesson about ions, starting from atomic structure, electron configurations and how ions are formed by gaining or losing outer shell electrons. The slides also contain direct links to YouTube clips from Fuse School to go over the basics of atomic structure and electron configurations. Some slides include images taken from Google.

A simple worksheet ideal for a starter or plenary. Students are given a variety of elements and have to complete a table stating which group the element is in, whether it’s a metal or non-metal and then use this information to determine the ion which it will form.

A short Power Point which can be used for an assembly about school rules. The first slide reveals some quirky and silly UK laws eg It is illegal to carry a salmon in suspicious circumstances! The point being that even though these rules make no sense to us they were created for a reason. The next slide reveals a variety of school rules which can be adapted for individual schools.

A worksheet with 12 questions for students to calculate empirical formulae. Relative atomic masses are provided. Answers showing working is included.

A worksheet for use with GCSE students. The sheet contains 10 calculations questions with increasing difficulty followed by 2 GCSE inspired extension questions about isotopes. Answers are provided.

A worksheet with 2 tasks. Firstly students have to complete a table identifying whether an element will form a positive or negative ion. In the second task students are given a list of ions in a table and students have to complete the table by deciding whether electrons have been lost or gained and also how many electrons are lost or gained. Answers are provided.

Recall of state the symbols followed by an example then 5 equations with missing state symbols to be filled in. A description of each reaction is provided before each of the equations which the students use to determine which state symbols to use. An extension task is given which is the reverse of the previous questions whereby students are provided with an equation and they have to write a description of the reaction. Answers are provided.

A cloze exercise for use as a plenary or revision exercise where students fill in the missing words from an explanation of the factors affecting the rate of reaction and collision theory. The missing words are provided. This is followed by a simple true or false exercise. All answers provided too.

A cloze exercise for use as a summary/plenary at the end of the topic or as a revision sheet. An answer sheet is included.

An assembly centered around Donald Campbell and his ill fated record attempt. This can be used as an assembly about pushing yourself and doing your best, resilience or British heroes. The Power Point includes images from Google and a link to a YouTube clip of the final world record attempt and crash.

A complete assembly or the backbone of an assembly which can be tweaked for use with all secondary age year groups. Slides include a definition of democracy and information about alternatives followed by several slides with information about several madcap dictators and some of their claims and policies. Contains images and information sourced from the internet.

A worksheet for students to use solubility rules to decide whether a compound will be soluble or insoluble. The rules are based on the Edexcel Chemistry specification. An answer sheet is provided.

Students have to recall the formulae of common acids and alkalis and the colours of a variety of indicators in acidic and alkaline solutions. An answer sheet is provided.

A table provides melting point and boiling point data for 10 elements and compounds and students have to work out the state for each of them at room temperature. There are 5 further questions after the table exercise. An answer sheet is provided.

The worksheet contains a table of positive and negative ions. Students then use these ions to deduce the formulae of a variety of (30) ionic compounds. The formulae become progressively more difficult. An answer sheet is included.

Students analyse and interpret a chromatogram. Questions are in relation to solubility, pure samples, number of substances and an Rf calculation. A separate answer sheet is included.
