Entire OCR A-Level Chemistry Course Powerpoint
This is a detailed 172 page powerpoint resource I made for myself during my A-levels that helped me get an A*.
I added to it at the end of each lesson/topic, cross-referencing between my notes, the textbook, revision guides and most importantly each point of the specification ; I also updated it with any details from marks I’d missed on tests.
Great to go through to better understand topics, as print-outs for revision posters or to review entire modules for the exams or mocks.
It covers all topics for the NEW A-level OCR specification detailed below and at http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/171720-specification-accredited-a-level-gce-chemistry-a-h432.pdf
