This fully structured lesson teaches benzene the way examiners expect it to be understood: through evidence. Students begin with the Kekulé model and test its predictions against real data. They analyse bond lengths (0.140 nm), calculate enthalpy of hydrogenation (−208 vs predicted −360 kJ mol⁻¹), and determine stabilisation energy (152 kJ mol⁻¹). From there, they evaluate why the model fails and build the delocalised π system properly, including lateral p-orbital overlap. Includes: Retrieval starter Structured reasoning tasks Worked ΔH calculations Clear model answers Diagnostic questioning Consolidation and exam-style review No filler content. Every slide drives analytical thinking and links explicitly to AQA assessment objectives. Ideal for Year 13 AQA groups, new teachers wanting a secure structure, or experienced teachers refining conceptual clarity. Editable PowerPoint. Ready to teach.

Fully editable PowerPoint lesson with modelling, exam practice and answers Why you will want this Teach heterogeneous catalysis clearly and exam-ready using the Haber process, catalytic converters, and the Contact process (V2O5). Focus is on the adsorption → reaction → desorption mechanism, catalyst regeneration, surface area, and poisoning. What is included 1 complete PowerPoint lesson (Year 13) Starter retrieval MCQs on transition metals and complexes Explicit teaching sequence: I Do, We Do, You Do Industrial examples: Haber (Fe), catalytic converter (Pt), Contact process (V2O5) Worked equations showing catalyst cycles and overall equations Common misconceptions addressed (rate vs equilibrium yield, poisoning, “just provides a surface”) Exam style questions plus model answers and quick checks

Fully editable PowerPoint lesson with modelling, exam practice and answers Why you will want this A clear, exam focused lesson that teaches homogeneous catalysis using Fe2+/Fe3+ and Co2+/Co3+ cycles, then builds into autocatalysis using the classic acidified MnO4- with ethanedioate reaction. Strong emphasis on why reactions are initially slow (electrostatic repulsion) and how catalysts regenerate. What is included 1 complete PowerPoint lesson (Year 13) Starter retrieval questions linked to redox, half equations, and Maxwell Boltzmann Step by step modelling of Fe2+ catalysis of the I-/S2O8(2-) reaction with balanced equations Practice task on Co2+ catalysis plus Zn2+ comparison (why it cannot catalyse) Autocatalysis teaching sequence for MnO4-/C2O4(2-) with mechanism equations and S curve interpretation Exam style questions with model answers, misconceptions, and quick checks

Description A fully resourced A-Level Chemistry lesson on Maxwell Boltzmann distributions, designed for Year twelve as Lesson 2 in the Rates of Reaction (3.1.5) topic. This lesson develops students understanding of how kinetic energy is distributed among gas particles and explicitly links Maxwell Boltzmann curves to activation energy, successful collisions, and reaction rate, using exam-accurate language throughout. Ideal for first teaching, consolidation, or revision. Whats included Complete lesson (no worksheets needed) Clear I Do > We Do > You Do structure Step-by-step guidance on drawing M-B curves correctly Explicit teaching of all key features: 1. axes meaning 2. most probable energy 3. origin 4. asymptotic tail 5. area under the curve Comparing distributions at different temperatures Activation energy marked and shaded correctly Exam-style written questions with model answers Multiple choice questions to check understanding and consolidation questions Common misconceptions identified and corrected Everything needed is built into the slides.

Description A complete AQA GCSE Chemistry assessment covering Using Resources (C10). Designed as a 50 minute multiple choice test suitable for end of topic assessment, revision, or intervention. This assessment spans the entire Using Resources specification, including sustainability, water treatment, waste water, alternative extraction methods, life cycle assessment, and reducing use of resources. Questions are carefully structured to assess recall, application, and evaluation, with clear targeting of common misconceptions. What is included Full multiple choice assessment 45 marks 50 minutes Six structured sections Resources and sustainable development Potable water Waste water treatment Alternative methods of extracting metals Life cycle assessment Reducing use of resources Balanced demand Foundation accessible questions Higher tier application and evaluation Calculation questions included Select two answer questions included Complete mark scheme provided Answers mapped to AQA specification points Assessment objectives identified Common misconceptions highlighted ** Diagnostic summary included** Marks by topic AO breakdown Foundation and Higher demand split Intervention thresholds provided

Description A complete A-Level Chemistry lesson on Maxwell Boltzmann distributions, designed for AS as Lesson 2 in the Rates of Reaction (3.1.5) sequence. This lesson builds directly on collision theory and develops students ability to interpret, draw, and apply Maxwell Boltzmann distribution curves, including exam-level explanations linking distributions to activation energy and reaction rate. The lesson is fully scaffolded and suitable for first teaching, intervention, or revision. Whats included Fully resourced lesson Clear I Do > We Do > You Do structure Step-by-step guidance on reading M-B graphs Explicit teaching of key features (origin, peak, asymptote, area) Drawing and interpreting M-B curves at different temperatures Activation energy marked and shaded correctly Exam-style written questions with model answers Multiple choice questions to check understanding and consolidation tasks Common misconceptions addressed and corrected All tasks are built into the slides; no worksheets required.

A complete introductory lesson on collision theory and activation energy, designed for Y12 AQA A Level Chemistry (Topic 3.1.5.1). This is lesson 1 of the rates of reaction topic and assumes no prior knowledge of the topic beyond GCSE particle model and energy concepts. Perfect for first-teach or recap, this conceptual theory lesson walks students through the key ideas behind reaction rates, activation energy, and the reasons why most particle collisions do not result in a reaction. Resource includes: Fully scaffolded PowerPoint Starter (Do now) Success criteria with overall learning objective Exam style mini-assessment to consolidate the learning

A handy summary sheet that should cover all exam boards that my students found useful in preparing revision for their A2 chemistry exam. I start by getting them to fill it in, mark and check for any mistakes or get them to peer assess each others or give them my version to self assess. Once I know they have a correct version I get them to choose a starting molecule and see how many different compounds they can make from that starting material - Whoever gets the most wins a prize.
