This resource focuses on the scientific words used in a typical physics class as well as a number of related worksheets (eg. calculations, a crossword, cloze style activity, English short answers). These will be useful for Chinese students studying abroad as international students or teachers in China who wish to teach their students the English words typically used in a physics lesson. Answers are also provided. The feedback from the classroom has been very positive and some colleagues from other schools have asked to use these resources for their Chinese International students. If there are specific topics you would like please tell me as it is likely they are currently being developed / or used.

This resource has a set of notes with worked examples to explain how to determine Lewis structures, molecular shapes and formal charges. The accompanying worksheets (and answers) use these skills to predict shapes and reason the bond angles. Some problems are based on the comparison of two molecules. ws2 problems are more difficult than ws1 and would suit students who are doing A level chemistry and who want to be challenged or are interested in competing in the National Chemistry Olympiad competition. This resource has combined material from 3 previously available resources. If you find any mistakes please make contact with me and I will correct and send an updated version.

This resource is two pages long and covers the following topics: atomic structure, balanced word and symbol equations, balancing a combustion reaction, interpreting electronic configuration, an electrolysis question (ZnBr2) and forming ionic compounds. It could be used as either a test or a worksheet. Answers are included. The level would be useful for entry level chemistry students

This resource focuses on the scientific words used in a typical physics class. There are multiple lists that are missing either the English of the Korean word. The lists include electricity, lab equipment, light and sound and typical physics words. Some worksheets focus on calculations and speaking/describing activities. These will be useful for Korean students studying abroad as international students or for teachers in Korea who wish to teach their students the English words typically used in a physics lesson. More problem based worksheets will be added to this resource in the next few weeks. The feedback from the classroom has been very positive and some colleagues from other schools have asked to use these resources for their Korean International students. If there are specific topics you would like please tell me as it is likely they are currently being developed / or used.

This resource consists of 9 pages of notes and calculation examples and a three 2-page worksheets to help the teacher or student grapple with buffer calculations. The target is A2 and IB students. The wk/s 4 and 5 (and answers) are essentially a titration on paper where a specific weak acid (or base) is gradually titrated (each problem a new calculation) to show the student the effect the addition of OH ions has on the final pH. Itis a chance to repeat the same calculation multiple times. The format ensures students get to practice on the same system and therefore minimise cognitive overload. Students are encouraged to think about what species are in solution and what part of the titration curve each calculation relates to. I also encourage a novel way of setting out the calculations, which I (and my students) believe minimises potential mistakes.

This resource consists of 2 double-sided worksheets made up of short answer questions (and answers) relating to atomic structure; in particular, ionisation energy, atomic and ionic radii and electron affinity. The questions would suit students studying AS-A2 or IB chemistry and students wanting to compete in a National Chemistry Olympiad competition. The students are required to write structured answers rather than limited 2-3 word answers therefore encouraging writing skills and building their understanding of the periodic table. 5Feb17: small error found and fixed.

This resource contains 2 worksheets (4 pages) of waters of crystallisation problems (and answers). The exercises would be suitable for students wanting to do IGCSE or AS chemistry programs.

This resource includes a colour-coded power point pack (51 slides): the first half focuses on inheritance and how information is ultimately coded into proteins. The 2nd half covers sexual vs asexual reproduction, genetic variation, mono-hybrid inheritance, punnett squares, pedigree charts and natural selection. The slides are kept simple and are not cluttered with lots of words. The user can delete slides not required for their specific course. My students tell me the slides are easy to annotate and are very good for exam preparation. A set of learning objectives (SLOs) is given as well as three 2-page problem sheets that focused mainly on punnett squares and pedigree charts (answers provided). Two of the problem sheets can be bought separately from this shop ("Biology: punnet square problems and interpretation of pedigree charts"). Thank you to everyone who has bought this resource over the past year. If you have a spare 2 minutes could you please leave some feedback? This will help me refine or add to what I have published.

There are two worksheets (with worked answers) and notes in this resource. WS1 focuses on word equations and limits reaction to those of oxides, hydroxides and carbonates. Notes are also provided. The intention is for students to get used to the idea of always writing down the salt and that water is the other product. WS2 asks students to balance the symbol equations. The equations are limited to acids reacting with oxides, carbonates and hydroxides. Both worksheets are also part of a larger resource called "Chemistry: balancing equations involving metals and their salts". This resource will suit students learning about balancing equations for the first time. With all the best intentions in the world, mistakes do get made. Please tell me if there is an error and I will correct it and organise to send you a corrected copy.

This resource contains two fun-worders based around the first 20 elements of the periodic table. In the first fun-worder, the student has to find the element. Each element succeeds its atomic number (find the name and you find the atomic number). The 2nd fun-worder has both the proton number (before the word) and the atomic mass (after the word). The student then fills in the periodic table grid (supplied) in the correct order. Other shorter activities are included: match symbols and names, and electron configuration practice. The students love these activities and it can take a good 45 minutes to complete. It is fun and builds familiarity with the PT.

There are 2 worksheets (and answers) as well as notes and worked examples (ws2). The resources would suit students aged about 14-17 years old depending on the course. WS2 is for more advanced students. WS1 has 2 pages of questions where the student has to choose whether a reaction is either endothermic or exothermic, draw and label an energy profile. There are also some simple calculations to determine the amount of energy given off from a known mass of an organic compound. WS2 contains notes, worked examples and 10 problems (and answers) focused on the equation Using q = mCΔT and Hess's law. The problems will be useful for students enrolled in Honors, AP or those who would like to sit the National Chemistry Olympiad competition. The problems are of straight forward to moderate difficulty. With all the best intentions in the world, mistakes do get made. Please tell me if there is an error and I will correct it and organise to send you a corrected copy. Key words: Hess's law, thermochemistry, enthalpy, heat, thermodynamics, calculations.

This resource consists of 7 pages of REDOX problems involving all or some of the following tasks: drawing a cell diagram, balancing equations and calculating the EMF of the cell in question. The worksheets will suit students enrolled in IB or A level Chemistry or preparing for a national Chemistry Olympiad competition. Answers are provided as well as general REDOX notes. Key words: REDOX, Chemistry Olympiad, EMF, calculations, cell diagrams, Latimer diagrams. 9Feb18: notes and some worksheet answers reworded.

This resource contains 5 simple experiments that have been successfully used in the laboratory for students aged from 11-15 years of age. The aim, through simple experiments, is to encourage safe working with chemicals and familiarity with equipment. One experiment is based on the use of plastic burettes where students are asked to work out which solution is the strongest (most concentrated). The use of burettes adds the 'wow' factor for budding young Scientists. They will talk about it for weeks to come. The experiments are based around color change with common acids and bases and Universal Indicator. A short set of instructions explaining how to make a home made indicator is also included. The "effect f dilution...." resource helps the students link dilution to colour change of UI. The students like this one because it allows them to practice dilutions and observe colour change.

Two worksheets: * A 4-page worksheet with problems (and answers) on work/ energy, power and force. * A 2-page worksheet focused on Ep and Ek calculations to show how you can go between the two two values (energy is energy is energy) The student is required to rearrange equations and solve for the unknown. Answers are provided.

This worksheet has bond enthalpy and lattice energy calculations and would be suitable for A level students. Key words: Hess’s law, bond enthalpy, Lattice energy, calculations.

This resource will be useful for teachers new to the profession or those with limited experience teaching chemistry. It contains * notes for the teacher including a 4-6 period lesson plan and template for practicals (5 pages in total); * a simple power point presentation with 13 slides that gives step by step instructions on how to balance equations. Reactions are limited to group 1 and 2 metals and their associated oxides, hydroxides and carbonates; * 4 worksheets (and answers) for word, symbol, and also word and symbol problems. The worksheets (and answers) can be found as separate resources if notes and lesson plans are not required.

This experiment gets students to compare pH titration data collected using different indicators. It shows the importance of choosing the correct indicator. The experiment(s) are easily carried out in 50 minutes and students can do up to 8 titrations during the class. Data is reported back to the teacher and the results shared with the wider class. Student feedback suggests this is a very useful practical and the repetitive nature of the experiment allows them to fine-tune their experimental skills. The practical will be useful for those studying acid-base chemistry and buffer systems. Students enrolled in AS-A2 Cambridge or A level courses would find this practical beneficial. Notes for the teacher are also included Key words: buffer, acid-base, equivalence point, buffer zone, practical, pKa, indicators.

This resource consists of some general REDOX notes, which outline how to balance REDOX equations and 2 double sided worksheets (and answers). The exercises include oxidation number elucidation, balancing half equations and balancing full equations.

This resource consists of two 4-page worksheets (and answers). The first w/s asks the student to interpret some series or parallel circuit diagrams and calculate either I, V, R or P. The second w/s starts with some simple calculations but finishes with short-answer questions in which the student needs to reason (rather than reach for the calculator) an answer. It encourages students to write WHY rather than just supply a simple number. 15 August 2016: an error has been found in one of the problems in the "......diagrams and calculations" ws answers. This has now been corrected.

This resource would suit A2 students. It contains 4 pages of problems, which can either be printed on both sides and made into an 4-page booklet or used as two separate 2-page problem sheets. The problems focus on the assignment of signals to the different hydrogen environments in 2-5 carbon organic aliphatic molecules. Some problems ask the student to distinguish between isomers based on the number and type of signals. The start of the worksheet asks students to decide how many signals they can expect based on symmetry arguments. In all cases students are asked to justify their assignments. Other worksheets are currently being developed that will include aromatic systems and problems based on the combination of IR, Mass spec, 1H and 13C NMR spectra. If you find any mistakes please give me feedback and I will address and send you an updated version.
