My resources now cover the whole of OCR AS Chemistry.
Each download includes a list of all available lessons and bundles.
This bundle covers all of the OCR A level chemistry specification section 4.1.1 (basic concepts of organic chemistry), as well as isomerism from section 4.1.3 (alkenes).
The topics covered are:
• introduction to organic chemistry
• naming hydrocarbons
• quiz – a question of naming alkanes
• functional groups – names and formulae
• isomerism
• organic reagents and types of reaction.
Each topic includes a fully interactive PowerPoint including starter, group activities, questions and plenary along with a worksheet. Answers to all exercises are provided. Some of the resources include a PowerPoint quiz and all are ideal for classroom or home learning.
This bundle is part of a series covering the OCR AS Chemistry specification and relates to the following sections:
Module 4– Core organic chemistry
Part 1 – Basic concepts and hydrocarbons
4.1.1 Basic concepts of organic chemistry (all)
4.1.3 Alkenes (part)
Please review!

Well constructed, clear and precise. Excellent activities. More than enough to fill the lessons, needed some pruning but far rather have to do this as enables me to tailor to the particular group of students. As a first timer to teaching the organic side this has been well worth the money.
Love this stuff. spot on and my stuents love it too. so clear and easy to understand
