I use this resource on fullerenes and graphene as a back up in case of IT failures. This is normally a great lesson or homework for students to do some of their own research. It is such a new part of science that the applications of the technology are changing all the time. The fullerenes and graphene resource links in with the previous covalent bonding resources in the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. The resource includes: Information sheet (Fullerenes and graphene) Worksheet (Fullerenes and graphene) Answer sheet (Fullerenes and graphene)

This is a great revision resource or starter activity for the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. The resource includes the question sheet and answer sheet.

Great template to help students get their heads around what is happening where in electrolysis.

This resource introduces students to calculating reacting masses using the moles method. I use this as part of the AQA Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic. The resource comes with an information sheet on reacting masses and accompanying question and answer sheets. The question sheet can be used to do the scale method and also with A Level students.

This resource on concentration of solutions takes students through the definition of solvent, solute and solution, and then demonstrates how to calculate the concentration of a solution. The resource contains an information sheet with accompanying question and answer sheets. I use the resource with more able KS3 students but mainly with GCSE students. I use the resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic.

This resources contains an information sheet on explaining how simple compounds are named. The accompanying worksheet asks students to name compounds formed from combinations of elements and also to identify the elements in a compound. The naming compounds worksheet also asks students to name some chemical formulae with their common name. An answer sheet is included.

This resources helps students understand how to calculate the concentration of a solution based on moles, volumes and equations. The resource includes an information sheet, question sheet and accompanying answer sheet. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic in paper 1 but it would be suitable for all GCSE exam boards. The resource can be used with A level students too.

This gas volumes resource teaches students the relationship between gas volume and moles. It contains a gas volumes information sheet, a question sheet, and an accompanying answer sheet. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic in paper 1. It could be used as a support resource for A Level students too.

This resource defines the relative atomic mass of an element and also describes to students how to calculate the relative atomic mass. The resource includes an information sheet and question sheet for practice. The great thing is that students can check their answers against the relative atomic mass displayed on the periodic table. A good resource for GCSE students and a good starter or reminder for A Level students. I use this resource as part of the AQA Chemistry, Quantitative Chemistry topic.

This empirical formula resource contains an information sheet that explains how to calculate the empirical formula of a substance; a question sheet; and accompanying answer sheet. I use this with my OCR Chemistry A year 12 class but it is also suitable for GCSE courses that cover empirical formula. This could be used to extend students as part of the AQA GCSE Quantitative chemistry topic.

This resource contains an information sheet on relative formula mass, a question sheet and an associated answer sheet. GCSE students need to be able to calculate relative formula mass as part of the Quantitative Chemistry topic in paper 1. Students can file the resource or use it to help them answer the questions. A great resource for GCSE but also a good starter or reminder for A Level students too.

This resource introduces students to calculating reacting masses using the scaling method. I use this as part of the AQA Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry topic. The resource comes with an information sheet on reacting masses and accompanying question and answer sheets. The question sheet can be used to do the moles method and also with A Level students.

This 6 mark question is a great way to assess if students have understood the fundamentals of states of matter. I use this states of matter resource with my GCSE students as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. The resource comes with an answer sheet including examiners guidance.

This resource is a great starter activity. There are 42 different pages all containing 12 individual bingo grids. No two bingo grids the same out of the 504 available. The accompanying powerpoint will randomly go to an element slide when the play icon is pressed. I use this starter daily with all of my classes. I randomly pick from a jar of ping pong balls with element symbols on. Sometimes I’ll call out the name and other times I’ll challenge the students by calling out proton numbers or even mass numbers. My students have a sheet each and pick which grid they use. There is also a blank bingo grid page if you want students to pick their own elements.

This resource on solubility rules can be used for GCSE Chemistry course that require knowledge of precipitation reactions and solubility rules. This is not directly needed for the AQA GCSE Chemistry but I do you use it with my more able students as a stretch and challenge exercise. This solubility rules resource includes two information sheets, a question sheet, and an answer sheet. Solubility rules are useful for the AQA GCSE chemical changes topic when looking at reactions of acids and bases. This resource could also be used as a starter with A level students.

This resource contains three six mark questions. Each question is in s separate document and has associated answers with examiners guidance. This is a great resource for revising the electrolysis part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Chemical Changes’ topic in paper 1. The electrolysis 6 mark questions resource includes: Electrolysis 1 (Aluminium oxide electrolysis) Electrolysis 2 (Electrolysis of brine) Electrolysis 3 (Evaluation of two different electrolysis cells)

This displacement reactions resource is the first in a series of lessons on extraction of metals. The lessons are all part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Chemical changes’ topic in paper 1. The resource includes: Information sheet (Extracting metals) Information sheet (Displacement reactions) Worksheet (Displacement reactions) Answer sheet (Displacement reactions)

This history of the periodic table resource is the eighth part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Atomic structure and the periodic table’ topic in paper 1. I generally get students to use this resource along side a computer so that they can do additional research on the history of the periodic table. Many scientists have contributed to the development of the periodic table. This resource selects just a them to discuss and highlights the ones students need to know for the AQA GCSE Chemistry specification. The resource includes: Information sheet (History of the periodic table) Worksheet (History of the periodic table) The answers can be drawn out of the information sheet. Just make sure the students are aware of the three scientists that they need to know about; Dalton, Newlands and Mendeleev.
