Optical Isomerism and Carbonyl Compounds - AQA A Level Chemistry
Complete AQA A Level Chemistry booklet for 3.3.7 Optical Isomerism and 3.3.8 Aldehydes and Ketones. Nine lessons, worked examples and tiered practice questions.
Written for Year 13 and ready to print or issue digitally. Each lesson follows the same structure: learning objectives, exposition, worked examples, a Common Mistake box, an Exam Tip box, and a set of independent practice questions with CHALLENGE items for stretch.
Lessons cover:
• Chirality and enantiomers
• Optical activity and racemic mixtures
• Nomenclature of aldehydes and ketones
• Reactivity and formation of carbonyl compounds
• Oxidation of aldehydes, Fehling’s solution and Tollens’ reagent
• Reduction with NaBH₄, including the full nucleophilic addition mechanism
• Nucleophilic addition of KCN, including hazards and control measures
• Formation of enantiomers in nucleophilic addition
• Review and consolidation, with a single-page reaction map linking every reaction in the topic
Also includes a learning intentions checklist with RAG rating, Do Now spaces for retrieval practice, note-taking pages, exam-style questions, and a SLOP booklet of further practice.
Written by a Head of Chemistry and practising AQA GCSE Chemistry examiner.
Chemistry and Biology IGCSE to AQA GCSE Science Curriculum Planning
Curriculum planning. Comparison of IGCSE and AQA GCSE Biology and chemistry mapping. the resources includes full mapping of these curriculum areas with comparisons, gap analysis, an overview. Also included is the overivew of GCSE AQA chemistry including lesson lists, for each topic along with learning objectives, the big questions and the lesson titles.
Useful if you are transitioning from IGCSE to GCSE AQA.

Science APP Record Spreadsheet
This is an excel spreadsheet used to record and monitor progress of Science APP.
There is a separate worksheet for each Assessment Focus (AF) and split into levels 3-8. When a student achieves a criteria you place a y in the cell, this will be highlight in green. If all the criteria are fulfilled for that level the record sheet will show the level. The record workbook will automatically update when a higher level has been obtained. If a student does not quite satisfy the criteria but has attempted it place an i in the cell, this will show up in orange. If there is no evidence for the criteria enter n and the cell turns red.
This enables a clear visual analysis of what has been completed and what areas need to be addressed for both the teacher and student. There are examples on the AF1 worksheet.

Snakes and Ladders Board Game
Used as a revision tool for any subject.
Before the lesson prepare 49 questions on separate pieces of paper (numbered) along with the answer, one for each square on the board.
In small groups students roll the dice and move forward the number of places shown. In order to stay on this square they have to answer the corresponding question correctly, if they don't they move back to where they came from. The only exception to this is if you land on a snakes head, as this will automatically move them downwards without the need for a question.
Shapes of Molecules (VSEPR)
Scan each side of the cube with the Augment app (available on both iOS and Android) to reveal the six main molecule shapes. These can then be manipulated to explore the molecule.
