This great chemistry calculations bundle includes 5 resources: -A relative atomic mass activity (with example) -A relative formula mass activity (with example) -Relative formula mass task cards -Masses and moles activity -Titration activity (method and calculations) -Comprehensive set of answers for most activities The whole bundle is set up in A4 for easy printing (no prep required). Resources in this bundle are really well structured and assist teaching very efficiently.

This is an excellent resource accessible for GCSE Chemistry students. The resource focuses on relative atomic mass, relative formula mass and mole calculations. It provides a range of questions with handy hints to prompt students. Answers are also included within the resource. I have used this resource for many years to great success. It has really helped to break down a notoriously difficult topic and made it more accessible to all students.

Atomic Structure and Bonding Definitions Task Cards This resource includes 2 packs of task cards (20 task cards in each). Both sets include the same keywords and each require students to define the keywords. There are 4 task cards per side of A4. Simply print and give to your students. No further prep is required. Lower ability set: This set has ‘power words’ included which are three related words that students must use in their definitions. This provides students with a writing framework to help them build their definitions. Higher ability set: This set does not include power words and relies of students accessing their own knowledge of atomic structure and bonding to write definitions.

Chemical Bonding Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the chemical bonding unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around ionic, simple covalent, giant covalent and metallic bonding, with a selection of questions from each bonding type. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Which types of elements undergo covalent bonding? Why do simple covalent substances have a low boiling point? Describe how positive and negative ions are held together Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.

Atomic Structure Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the atomic structure unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer.

Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF).
