PowerPoint presentation for topics within the Alkenes [3.3.4] section. Included is this pack is: 3.3.4.3. Addition polymers These presentations include*: - Slides that have been created from scratch by an experienced A-Level teacher. - Up-to-date information for the new course based on the specification and exam paper questions. - Key points, common errors and definitions. - Detailed theory, designed, on occasion to go beyond the specification to stretch the most able. - Worked examples, practice questions, exam-style questions and animated diagrams. - Slides that are mostly designed to minimise the amount of printing required in lessons. *Not every presentation will necessarily include all of the above, however across the entire course of presentations this is what to expect. Check back for updates as I continue to teach the course, the resource will always improve. To see free examples of some of my older (less detailed work) check out : https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-2016-aqa-chemistry-a-level-part-3-bonding-11128604 If you would like current samples of slides before you buy or have any suggestions please tweet: @ChemEdify I appreciate all constructive and honest reviews & hope you enjoy using these resources.

Carryout simple test-tube reactions to identify : [cations; group II and NH4+] & [anions; group VII, OH-, CO32- and SO42-] This resource was developed for a theory revision lesson but could also be used to introduce concepts. It includes methodology, explanation and typical exam questions.

This booklet contains a thorough worked example through the steps to determining the structure of an organic compound. The steps included are : Elemental analysis (to determine empirical formula) Mass spec (to determine molecular formula) Calculating double bond equivalents (often overlooked at A-Level, but very useful). IR and chemical tests to determine functional groups present. NMR problem solving to determine overall structure. The worked example is in table format, with a guide and model response. There are 5 practice problems with answers. I have used it to teach AQA and OCR A, but it probably works with all exam boards.

This organic reaction map is designed to help students learn the reactions and conditions to required to convert between different functional groups in the AQA A level course. There are four possible sheets (with increasing information): Sheet one - Just the different functional groups and their conversions. Sheet two - Includes sheet one + the displayed formulas of the molecules Sheet three - Includes sheet two + the types of reactions Sheet four - Includes sheet three + the reagents and conditions required for each. The different sheets allow different levels of scaffolding for the pupils in your class or the final sheet may just be provided as a summary sheet for revision purposes. Any questions or errors please tweet me @Chemedify.

Investigate how the pH changes when a weak acid reacts with a strong base and when a strong acid reacts with a weak base. This resource was developed for a theory revision lesson but could also be used to introduce concepts. It includes methodology, explanation and typical exam questions.

A Sheet I made to support students through writing mechanisms for Organic reactions. Includes example and hints for: Nucleophilic substitution Electrophilic addition Nucleophillic addition Electrophilic substitution I provide this laminated for students in lessons whilst having them attempt multiple examples in different situations.

Here I have designed a task for A-level pupils to analyse and decipher the structures of 8 molecules. They are given the empirical formula, the MS, the IR and the H1NMR. This is all the information they require. The answers are below: 1. Ethanol 2. Propionic acid 3. Acetone 4. Methyl propionate 5. Ethyl acetate 6. Ethanal 7. Toluene 8. 2-Butanol. * In the answers I haven't necessarily used the IUPAC names. Tweet me @Mr_S_WHSG if I have made any errors!

Spec 1.2.5 The alkali metals (Two hours suggested teaching time) Lesson preparation: [Demonstration] The physical properties and reactions of the alkali metals Could print the table on slide 11 Could print the exam questions on slide 21 Suggested teaching: Lesson 1: Slides 2-4: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is an optional and differentiated alternative starter). Slide 5-6: Recap of forming ions with a focus on the group 1 elements. Slides 7-8: (Hidden) Alternative recap, potentially for lower ability students on electron configurations. Slide 9-11: Here you can demonstrate the properties and reactions of the alkali metals. If materials are unavailable, students could compare the animations of the reactions on slide 10. There is a table on slide 11 to record their observations. Lesson 2: Slides 12-14: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is an optional and differentiated alternative starter). Slides 15-16: A recap of the observations and reactions of the alkali metals. Slides 17-20: Explaining the reactivity of the alkali metals, with a selection of differentiated slides to help. Slides 21-22: Practice exam style questions.

Spec 2.3 Metals and non-metals (One hour suggested teaching time) Lesson(s) preparation: [Practical] – Investigating properties of materials (Circuit with bulb and crocodile clips, glass rod, iron nail, copper strip, piece of wood, Perspex trip, piece of ceramic etc…) Could print slides 6, 7, 18 & 18 Rationale: Often the comparison of metals and non-metals is overlooked. I like to get students to identify the difference in properties and then apply the properties to unknowns. Here they should notice that general properties don’t always apply to all. Suggested teaching: Slides 2-4: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is optional differentiated) Slide 5: A general introduction to the idea of metals and non-metal and the key properties. Slide 6: Practical (no method given as it is fairly straightforward). Get them to identify the properties of different materials in the room, depending on ability they may need support in identifying them as metals or non-metals. Slides 7-8: Summarising the properties of metals and non-metals. Slides 9-10: Applying properties of metals and non-metals, they will need to apply a best fit approach for some of them (like mercury and graphite!) Slides 11-15: Introduction of how metals and non-metals form ions when they react.
