Are your A level Chemistry students struggling to remember all those Organic reactions? Help them to conquer the confusion and answer those reaction pathways questions like a PRO. The linked video shows how to turn those pathways charts into a game so they can learn them painlessly. Easy peasy! This set of charts covers the AQA A level Chemistry specification specifically. Red boxes show reagent and conditions. Green boxes show the functional group. Blue boxes are reaction mechanism and type. Purple boxes contain further annotations or points to note.

A differentiated, challenging game to help eleventh and twelth grade students get to grips with the rules of naming organic compounds.

Cut and stick activity. Match two labels to each chemical formula to name the compound represented by the formula. Students may experience a little conflict with some of the names but should be able to figure out the -ate and -ide rule from the examples given.

A plenary, starter or revision game to reinforce the difference between categoric and continuous variables, with examples of both types.

Video tutorial showing how to tackle calculations on equilibria in A level Chemistry. The common mistake of students not using equilibrium concentrations is pointed out and a strategy to help with that problem. Make available to students to help with homework and revision.

Worksheet with diagrams for students to describe and explain the brown gas diffusion experiment. Its worth printing this one out in colour - that usually goes down well.

Make a set of cards by printing the 'which hazard cards' onto card. The 'Which hazard?' makes a good plenary where the name and description of the hazards of the chemical are read out. Students hold up which label or labels should be put on each chemical. The homework sheet is to consolidate, and to make students aware that some everyday chemicals, for everyday uses, carry hazards and should be used with due care.

Starter slide. Sodium, sodium chloride and carbon dioxide. which is the odd one out? Several answers possible for different reasions. Students should explain why they have chosen a particular answer.

The powerpoint and the tutorial together move students from simple energy level diagrams through to quantitative calculations of enthalpy of a reaction using bond energies. Molymods are needed to follow throught the activity on the slides and a bunsen burner burning is intended to be the reaction they see and write the equation for at the beginning of the starter.

The answers! where the different cards should go on the posters for each of the different functional groups.

Starter or plenary. Cut 'n&'stick. Text to sequence and diagram to label with the text. Presentation to check labelling (before final stick down.)

Game to become familiar with and to differentiate between metal and nonmetal elements. Can help reinforce the -ium ending to identify metals.

Summary worksheets on the keywords describing change of state and the properties of and particle descriptions of solids, liquids and gases. The States of Matter worksheets are for different abilities and the keyword fill may be used as a preparatory sheet for students to find the keywords, or simply as an annotation sheet used in conjunction with the presentation. The wordbank cards have the meanings as well as the words and these or the flashcards may be used in conjunction with the keyword fill sheet for students to place the words before writing them down. The flashcards can be used in class for peer learning and checked with a quick quiz. Although intended for lower ability students, the longer "States of Matter cut and stick" worksheet can be useful in general on a Friday afternoon. "States of Matter - match" is intended for middle ability students and "States of matter" for higher ability.

Spagetti junction matching activity. Indicate which acid and other reactant need to be put together to make the salt named in the middle. Quick starter for KS4 or quick plenary/extension for KS3 students.

KS3 Biology. Activity to learn the parts of the Respiratory system. Can be used in a variety of ways: Slide 1&2 as a cut and stick; slide 1 for students to label what they know and find out what they don't know - possble homework. Class learning or revision activity - print out onto A3 and laminate the first slide, print the second onto card and cut out. Students work in pairs or groups to place cards onto the diagrams. This method works well as a game in the style of Beetle Drive, where they are put under time pressure and then have to move round to take up where another group have left off. The answer slide can be put up to check, or printed out and given to other students to check to make sure the first group to finish has completed the activity correctly. Rewards, forfeits, music all add to the fun. Can be used individually - look, cover, place, check.

KS3 Biology. Activity to learn the parts of the Digestive system and their function. Can be used in a variety of ways: Slide 1&2 as a cut and stick; slide 1 for students to label what they know and find out what they don't know - possible homework.

Plenary, starter or revision game to differentiate between ionic and covalent substances from their names. Makes the connection beween the presence or absence of metals and the type of bonding.

Starter slide to stimulate a discussion on what factors affect heat transfer.

Game to reinforce the -ide/-ate endings in naming ionic compounds. To differentiate between compounds containing oxygen and those not containing oxygen from the name of the compounds.
