AS Chemistry: Introduction To Organic Chemistry (AQA)

5 well structured chemistry lessons covering topics in the Introduction to Organic Chemistry (Year 12) suitable for the AQA specification (IMPORTANT NOTE: please look in my shop for similar bundle suitable for the OCR specification)

Lesson 1: Organic and Inorganic Compounds

1. Describe what organic and inorganic compounds are
2. Compare the strength of bonds in organic and inorganic compounds
3. Explain the molecular shape of carbon containing compounds

Lesson 2: Naming organic compounds

By the end of the lesson students should be able to:

1. Know the IUPAC rules for naming alkanes and alkenes
2. Know the IUPAC rules for naming aldehyde, ketones and carboxylic acids
3. Construct structural or displayed formulae from named organic compounds and name organic compounds from the structural or displayed formulae

Lesson 3: Types of formulae

By the end of the lesson students should be able to:

1. Know what is meant by the terms empirical and molecular formula
2. Compare the terms general, structural, displayed and skeletal formula
3. Construct organic compounds using either of the 6 types of formulae

Lesson 4: Isomers

1. Know the what structural isomers and stereoisomers are
2. Describe the three different ways in which structural isomers can occur
3. Construct formulae of positional, functional group or chain isomers and stereosiomers of alkenes

Lesson 5: Introduction To Reaction Mechanisms

1. Understand that reaction mechanisms are diagrams that illustrate the movement of electrons using curly arrows
2. Understand where curly arrows being and where they end
3. Identify and illustrate homolytic and heterolytic bond fission in reaction mechanisms

Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. This is because planning your own lessons, including using your own lesson PowerPoints, is a fundamental skill of a qualified/unqualified teacher that will be assessed during the scenarios outlined above
