The new year is a time when many people set resolutions or ‘intentions’, however, these can be set at any time in the year and are beneficial towards our personal growth. Inside this short booklet are ideas of intentions (what habits/things do you want to create or release?) and how to go about choosing them positively (i.e. avoid negatives such as losing weight, how about 'eating healthier foods 70% of the time?) There are also prompts and ideas for starting your own gratitude journal and plenty of things to complete to get you thinking, including how we can view our challenges in a positive light - what can we learn from them? This booklet can be easily adapted if you wish to use it with a class, assembly, project, colleagues etc.

PowerPoints created for A2 OCR Chemistry - entropy and Gibbs for the energetics module.

I created this lesson for an observation. This contains a 3 hour lesson introduction to NMR, along with a scheme of work, comprehension task question sheet lesson plan, handwritten worksheet and answers. 6 files altogether. Extention/early finishers tasks are shown in majority of activities within PowerPoint and attached files. This lesson is created for L3 BTEC students Unit 19 (app sci) or Unit 15 (forensics). I spent a long time on the resources and paperwork and have attached some as files and others as images to give you ideas of what you can make (and how) for your own students. The following week I used the next 3 hours to finish the topic of NMR (following week’s lesson + resources not included - this is on splitting). Documents attached: comprehension task (to use in conjunction with page 1 of journal article, see link below), lesson PowerPoint, lesson plan, 2x question worksheets, answers and SOW. Journal article used for comprehension task is here: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijac/2018/3104569/

I created this lesson for the new unit 19 level 3 applied science, assignment B, spectroscopy. This lesson lasts about 1.5 hours including completion of activities and introduces the students to spectroscopy by recapping the electromagnetic spectrum (I have also included some points in the notes section of the powerpoint which you may wish to discuss). The data sheet I used with my students was the OCR A A Level Chemistry one (just what was handy in the lab) and the PowerPoint refers to worksheet A which is part of their assignment. This can be found on the Pearson website, along with answers. I have included a link to a video I created introducing IR spectroscopy, aimed at students :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxYTIuKYbvc

Student worksheet including introduction, method, space for them to record results, structured calculations and error analysis. Created for the new BTEC L3 spec, unit 19 Practical Chemical Analysis. Can also be used for A Level Chemistry, HNC or other analytical science courses.

This resource is a full lesson created for A2 Chemistry OCR syllabus which covers Kp, partial pressure and mole fraction. Includes theory, is interactive, plenty of questions and answers. Clear step-by-step guides to calculations.

The brief for learning aim A was not provided by Pearson, so this was written by me for assignment A of Unit 19. Includes brief template, scenario and all criteria and tasks (ie write a PowerPoint to include… and create a typed document to include…). NOTE -** this resource does not include practical method sheets/instructions.**

This is a lab book for unit 2 that will help students greatly once assignments are issued. Students can record their results in here during/after the practicals, either handwritten on a printed version or typed on an online copy. This saves loads of time with planning lessons :-) I hope that you find it helpful.

These sheets were created for a class that fell behind and were struggling with unit 4. 2 fool-proof sheets for B and C handy for when students need to finish asap

This PowerPoint is most useful for new teachers, teachers who have not taught VSEPR before (ideas for how to structure your lesson) or teachers who want ideas on how to make this topic more interactive and include ideas for kinaesthetic activities. This PowerPoint includes VSEPR yoga, VSEPR triominoes (I have not included the resource as it is a pack of cards, however I have included instructions and an image example so you can make your own) and VSEPR cut and sticks can also be made to keep your students engaged. Other interactive ideas could include online quizzes such as Kahoot, Bingo etc.

Structured PowerPoints which can be used to structure your lesson and/or guide and help students. Teaching videos (from me) on q=mc∆T and Hess’ Law https://youtu.be/BjbXJTB0JdA: https://youtu.be/gf2clDpAMbI

Starter worksheet (cloze passage) created for the new L3 Applied Science (from 2016) Unit 3 (I used this for an observation). To recall previous knowledge on fuels. Includes stretch and challenge/early finishers task at the bottom and task objective at the top. Main lesson task also included which guides students through how to structure and what to write and include for a lab report.

A viscosity worksheet on identifying Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids and a crossword which can be used as an end of topic/end of lesson activity. Both with answers! Created for Level 3.

Link to (the familiar!) real world with the question: does adding sugar to tea cause it to cool down? An informative and step-by-step PowerPoint which guides students through the steps and knowledge involved in constructing a Born-Haber Cycle and calculating lattice enthalpy. Explains why a B-H cycle is used and what lattice enthalpy tells us. Refers to worked examples, questions and exam questions from OCR A syllabus so is ideal if you have a class set of the OCR textbooks too. Stretch and challenge is (and can be further) incorporated by examples using compounds made of ions with different charges, e.g. alumina.

A sheet of 22 reactions of straight chain compounds that you need to learn reaction conditions for. Suitable for A Level Chem (A2, 2nd year)

Student (and teacher!) friendly assignment checklists for the first 2 assignments of Unit 18 (Industrial Chemical Reactions) in the Level 3 Applied Science. I have created these using my own interpretations of the brief and teacher guidance. Useful for teacher as can help speed up the marking process.

AS Module 2 Revision Board Game on bonding, structure, properties, shape, electronegativity and polarity. Students really enjoyed playing this game and it was an excellent way to revise. Teacher will need: scissors, printer, card or a laminator (so the playing cards last), counters (1 per student), dice (1 per group). Included: cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions with Qs and As blank versions of cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions so you can adapt/write your own board game About: This is a learner-led revision activity. Recommended group size per board game: 4 Estimated time to complete game based on this group size: 50min - 1 hour (based on experience and length of student engagement). Game can be any length of time as winning is based on number of points rather than reaching the end of the board. Rules: Class to be split into roughly groups of 4 Each group to be given 1 board game mat, 4 counters, 1 dice and a set of 1, 2 and 3 point Q cards. They also need scrap paper and pens/pencils for working out Each group can either nominate a reader for the Q cards or they may take it in turns to read. #bondingstructureproperties #ASChemistryrevisiongame #Chemistryrevision #VSEPRrevision
