Ionic Jig saw
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Ionic Jig saw

(1)
This activity develops students understanding of balancing charges in ionic salts. The students print out the activity, cut out the shapes and the recombine to determine the formulae of different ionic salts by balancing charge and making sure jigsaw is correct. Designed for KS3 and KS4 Science.
Rates of Reaction
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Rates of Reaction

(0)
This activity is divided into 4 parts each activity involved one of the components of rates of reactions - size, concentration, temperature and catalysts. The activity involves graphing data and then explaining the plot using rates of reaction theory. Students graph data and then apply this information to collision theory to explain observed data. The activity also includes hint sheets to assist students.
Rates of reactions exercises

Rates of reactions exercises

(0)
This resource is designed to practise graphing skills and data analysis around chemistry rates of reactions. Also designed to develop student understanding of results obtained using collision theory. The exercise consists of activities where students develop understanding of the 4 different ways to change rates of reaction - concentration, temperature, catalysts and surface area.
Chemical energetics - bond energies
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Chemical energetics - bond energies

(0)
This lesson incorporates a presentation describing what bond energies are and using these values to calculate reaction energy changes. The values of these energy changes is then discussed in terms of exothermic and endothermic reactions. The lesson also includes student activities to test understanding. Designed for KS4 and 5 Chemistry.
Chemical energetics - collision theory
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Chemical energetics - collision theory

(0)
This lesson involves a presentation describing collision theory, what makes a successful collision and what are the factors that increase the rate of successful collisions. The lesson also includes activities to test student understanding.
Organic Chemistry - Organic reagents

Organic Chemistry - Organic reagents

(0)
Perfect for a classroom wall. This display illustrates all the organic reagents used in senior chemistry in a straightforward manner. Great for helping students who are visual learners.
Chemistry-Trionimoes
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Chemistry-Trionimoes

(0)
This activity is similar to dominoes, just this time with 3 sides! The students cut out the trionimoes and try and build shapes by match sides to each other. The game has three levels of difficulty depending on the level of students. Questions are based on atomic structure and bonding as well as the periodic table
Rate of reaction trading cards

Rate of reaction trading cards

(0)
Excellent revision tool for rates of reaction. In pairs, students cut out both sides of the cards and glue them together. Then as one asks the question the other tries to answer it. If you get an answer right, you keep the card. The one with the most cards wins! Designed for KS4 Chemistry.
Chemical energetics - revision flashcards
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Chemical energetics - revision flashcards

(0)
In this activity to help revise chemical energetics (kinetics, reaction rates, equilibrium, enthalpy, exothermic, endothermic reactions and collision theory) the students create flash cards with the answer on one side and question on the other. This requires students to cut and paste on cardboard to create cards.
Types of Bonding

Types of Bonding

(0)
Lesson designed for senior chemistry focusing on the differences and similarities of ionic and covalent bonding. Lesson is in the form of a presentation which is interspersed with student activities to reinforce learning.
Chemical Bonding - thinking exercise
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Chemical Bonding - thinking exercise

(0)
A plenary to let students think about how different elements combine in chemical bonding. In the form of a power point presentation. Linked to chemical bonding in senior chemistry. The students have to consider how electrons are either shared or taken in a chemical bond.
Structure and bonding - covalent compounds
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Structure and bonding - covalent compounds

(0)
This lesson is in the form of a presentation of covalent solids - both network covalent and simple molecular. The lesson explains how the nature of covalent bonding can be used to describe the chemical and physical properties of these compounds. The lesson also includes student activities to test student understanding.
Structure and bonding - ionic solids
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Structure and bonding - ionic solids

(0)
This lesson is in the form of a presentation of ionic solids and describes how the type of bonding is used to explain the physical and chemical properties of these molecules. The presentation also includes student activities to test understanding.
Structure and bonding - polarity
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Structure and bonding - polarity

(0)
This lesson in the form of a presentation, links structure and bonding to the polarity of the molecules involved and how electronegativity can be used to make predications on the type of bonding. The presentation also includes student activities to test understanding.
Chemical bonding - shapes
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Chemical bonding - shapes

(0)
This lesson in the form of a presentation outlines for students how you can use chemical bonding in molecules to predict shapes using VSEPR theory. The presentation also includes activities to test student understanding.
