The lesson also includes a student practical worksheet as well as a teacher/technician worksheet.

This is the redox lesson for Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry. I teach this lesson after completing PAG 2.1 with the students to consolidate their learning on Acids and Bases. The powerpoint covers what redox means, how to calculate oxidation numbers, illustrating what is oxidised and reduced in a reaction and the exceptions. I have also included the assessment I use called 10 for 10 (10 qs in 10 mins) which is multiple choice and I use to assess the students' learning of topics 2.1.1-2.1.5. There is a checklist on the front for students to colour code and re-read pages in the OCR textbook on the areas they need to improve.

This powerpoint and practical sheet covers two lessons worth of content. The powerpoint covers: How an ester bond forms a fat and oil. Melting point of fats and oils and how they can be used to make soap. How Biodiesel is formed and why it isn’t 100% carbon neutral. Practical instructions to make soap using caster oil and sodium hydroxide (as well as an extra practical making detergent) This powerpoint has been made following the new AQA A Level Chemistry specification.

This homework booklet can be handed out at the start of the Carboxylic Acid and Derivatives section ( 3.3.9) of the New AQA A Level Chemistry Specification.

This is the second lesson in the Amount of Substance topic in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry. The powerpoint covers empirical and molecular formula, relative molecular mass, hydrated salts and water of crystallisation. The worksheets will help with empirical formulae calculations (there is a help sheet if needed for weaker students) however there is also a stretch and challenge task on Ions for higher ability students to complete to differentiate. The practical activity helps bring together empirical formula and water of crystallisation but also helps prepare students for PAG 1.3 prior to them completing their first PAG.

Second Lesson I use as part of the topic Atomic Structure and Isotopes in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry. The lesson reviews Isotopes and ions from the first lesson then goes onto relative isotopic mass and relative atomic mass. It also covers how to identify an element from its mass spectrum and calculating RAM. OCR new spec does not need to know how a mass spectrometer works but I have some basic information in there to help understanding of what happens.

This is the second lesson in a topic I made called Chemistry Corner for KS3 Year 7. This lesson includes a powerpoint on changes of state (I always purchase some dry ice to demonstrate sublimation in class), properties of solids liquids and gases as well as melting and boiling points. There are also differentiated activity sheets and an extension task on icebergs. This scheme of work was made when KS3 Levels were used, so you may need to amend the levels according to your own assessment criteria used for KS3.

This is the end of topic assessment for the Chemistry Corner scheme of work. There is also a front cover sheet using teacher and student assessment boxes for www and ebi. I have also included the progress planner to show the overall structure of the topic that students can stick into their books. There is also a mark scheme and raw mark to level converter, however this scheme of work was made when KS3 Levels were used, so you may need to amend the levels according to your own assessment criteria used for KS3.

This is the first lesson in the Halogens topic 3.1.3 in the OCR Specification. The powerpoint covers the physical properties of the Halogens, trends in boiling points, oxidising ability and displacement reactions. The lesson also includes a student practical worksheet as well as a teacher/technician worksheet.

This lesson introduces the key ideas of Acyl Chlorides and will cover one lesson's worth of content. The powerpoint covers: IUPAC rules for naming acyl chlorides The 4 different reaction processes that acyl chlorides undergo. The products and reactants needed for the 4 different acyl chloride reactions The reaction mechanism for Acyl Chlorides is not covered in this single lesson powerpoint but another resource. This lesson is based on the New AQA A Level Chemistry specification.

This is lesson 4 in the Electrons, bonding and structure topic in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry. The powerpoint covers bonding pairs vs lone pairs repulsion, drawing simple shapes and a rule list for helping determine how many LP and BP and therefore what shape is produced. It also goes onto multiple bonds. I encourage the use of molymod kits for this lesson too, which helps with the 3D aspect of bonding.

This is the first lesson in the second topic The Amount of Substance in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry. The powerpoint covers Avogadro's constant, the mole, molar mass and re-arranging the molar mass equation. The activity is a good task to get students to understand what a mole is in terms of the number of atoms in your signature. The worksheets help introduce standard form and sig fig if needed to practice Maths skills as well as practicing re-arranging the molar mass equation.

This is the eighth lesson in a topic I made called Chemistry Corner for KS3 Year 7. This lesson includes a powerpoint on introducing neutralisation reactions using a rainbow fizz demonstration, general word equations, students doing their own mini neutralisation reaction, neutralisation problems such as nettle stings etc. This scheme of work was made when KS3 Levels were used, so you may need to amend the levels according to your own assessment criteria used for KS3.

This is a lesson covering Group 2 elements, 3.1.2 in the OCR specification. The powerpoint includes physical and chemical trends of group 2 metals. There is also a practical sheet which covers reactions of group 2 oxides, hydroxides and thermal decomposition of group 2 carbonates.
