I am a GCSE and A-level Chemistry specialist teacher in a 14-18 school with 15 years teaching experience and several years research experience. I provide GCSE, AS and A2 Chemistry resources (mainly for the AQA specifications) to help students practice the concepts learned in lessons and I am a firm believer in 'Practice makes perfect'. I strive wherever possible to include the answers to the worksheets.

This resource is a complete pdf scheme of work for teaching the AQA Year 2 Aromatic Chemistry topic. It includes teacher notes sheets, student sheets, worksheets, starters, practice and exam-style questions, and an aromatic chemistry test. All answers are included. The topic starts with a student specification tick sheet to help students organise and revise the topic. The content includes the structure and bonding of benzene, looking at the evidence for the structure and bonding in terms of lack of addition reactions, x-ray crystallography and thermochemical evidence. There is an extensive section on naming aromatic compounds, which includes 3 worksheets and 2 lesson starters. There is also full coverage of electrophilic substitution with a range of practice questions, 6 exam-style questions and a comprehensive aromatic chemistry test.
Please note that not all pages can be seen in the preview so I have provided one nomenclature worksheet and answers in .docx format to show the style of the whole support pack.
This worksheet practices the rules for giving the full IUPAC names for alkenes including E and Z designators. This could be used as an in-class activity, starter or quick check homework. Answers are included.
A homework covering the GCSE Chemistry C8 Chemical Analysis Identification of Positive and Negative Ions for the Separate Science qualification. Students are asked to identify 10 ionic compounds from their flame tests and/or the results from their chemical tests with sodium hydroxide (metal ions) and hydrochloric acid, acidified barium chloride and acidified silver nitrate. This covers all the required knowledge for the identification of positive and negative ions.
A worksheet on balancing equations that includes easy, medium and hard questions. Can also be used for AS Chemistry. A total of 38 equations to balance. Answers included. Ideally suited to use as a stretch-and-challenge resource.
This bundle contains several resources for the first Chemistry topic of the new GCSE. It includes Atomic Structure, Balancing Equations, Elements, Mixtures and Compounds, Group 1 and 7 exam-style questions along with a higher and foundation revision question booklet to use as starters/plenaries over ten lessons to reinforce and revisit previous learning.
AQA GCE A2 Chemistry Organic Chemistry Nomenclature and Carbonyl Compounds Starters and Plenaries on PowerPoint. This resources includes 10 different starters and plenaries (complete with answers) for nomenclature (drawing the displayed formulae and naming from displayed formulae) along with naming aldehydes and ketones, testing for aldehydes and ketones, nucleophilic addition and naming carboxylic acids and esters.
A worksheet for practicing writing the ionic formulae for 40 different ionic compounds and is useful in the teaching of the fundamentals of Chemistry. This worksheet can be used for both GCSE and A-level introductory work. Answers included.
This resources is a whole lesson on identifying the oxidation products of alcohols from primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. It comprises of a lesson PowerPoint which guides you through the lesson from identifying primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols on the starter worksheet and onto the oxidation and reduction card match activity for the key oxidation, reduction, oxidising agent and reducing agent definitions. Another activity includes identifying the oxidation products by a card matching activity where students use the Task 3 oxidation laminated sheets to match the oxidation aldehyde, ketone and carboxylic acid patterns cards. A student's note sheet is also provided which students can fill in using the information on the PowerPoint. The final activity of writing oxidation equations for primary and secondary alcohols is solely on the PowerPoint and includes an answer slide.
The worksheet includes questions to classify alcohols as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, and to identify which alcohols will form aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids.
This is a collection of 3 resources for AQA GCSE Chemistry Trilogy 5.4 Chemical Changes Displacement Reactions section. There is a practical sheet for determining the order of reactivity for four metals: copper, magnesium, iron and zinc. There are two accompanying worksheets for students to practise identifying the products (if any) from a variety of potential displacement reactions.
