AQA GCSE Chemistry Energy Changes

A comprehensive AQA GCSE Chemistry Energy Changes revision PowerPoint designed for classroom teaching, intervention, retrieval practice and exam preparation.

The resource follows a clear, structured revision sequence. Each topic begins with Do Now (DNA) retrieval questions followed by a separate answer slide for immediate feedback and correction. After every key teaching point, students complete three short-answer whiteboard questions testing knowledge, understanding and common misconceptions. Answers are provided to support rapid assessment and correction.

Students then complete book-work questions followed by model answers and key-point notes, helping them improve responses and build accurate revision notes.

Topics include:
• Exothermic and endothermic reactions
• Energy transfer to and from the surroundings
• Everyday uses of energy changes
• Activation energy
• Reaction profile diagrams
• Comparing reactant and product energy levels
• Bond breaking and bond making
• Bond energy calculations (HT)
• Calculating overall energy change (HT)
• Chemical cells and batteries
• Fuel cells and hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells

Designed for whole-class display with large, readable text, clear layouts and frequent opportunities for retrieval, questioning, misconception checking and exam-focused practice.
