A complete, ready-to-teach lesson on condensation polymers for Pearson Edexcel International A Level Chemistry, Unit 5 (WCH15). See how amines, amides and amino acids behave, then watch monomers join into polyesters and polyamides with the loss of a small molecule.
Every diagram is redrawn as editable PowerPoint shapes and builds click by click, so you can talk through each stage. Detailed teacher notes on every slide mean it works for your own teaching, a cover lesson or a new colleague.
What’s included (27 slides):
- Learning objectives slide
- Watch it: 9 step-by-step diagram slides with click-by-click builds and a caption on each
- Try it: “Monomers and links” activity table, with a separate answer slide
- Check it: 4 quick multiple-choice questions for mini-whiteboards, with answers and explanations
- Exam tip slide: where students most often lose marks
- 6 exam-style questions (11 marks), each followed by a full mark scheme with examiner notes
- Key fact plenary slide
- Teacher notes on every slide: starter, questions to ask at each click, common misconceptions, stretch and support, plenary and homework
By the end of the lesson, students can:
- Explain why amines are bases, and how amides form from acyl chlorides
- Describe amino acids as zwitterions and their behaviour at different pH
- Draw the repeat units of polyesters, polyamides and peptides
- Describe the hydrolysis of condensation polymers
