New (2016) AQA Chemistry A Level: Part 3 - Bonding

(32)
A presentation to teach the bonding section of the new AQA chemistry A level. Topics include: Ionic bonding Covalent bonding Metallic bonding Electronegativity Intermolecular forces - including hydrogen bonding. Shapes of molecules and bond angles. Properties of structures.
Revision for A2 chemistry

Revision for A2 chemistry

(5)
I made this Powerpoint for a revision course for A2 chemists in Easter. It is specifically designed for OCR Salters B Chemistry. The topics that it covers are: - Transition metals and ligands. - Rates of reaction calculations. - Redox Calculations. - Equilibrium. - pH calculations and buffer solutions. - Arenes and azo dyes. = Polymer properties. N.B. If I have used anyone else's content inappropriately pleases notify me and I shall rectify. I have certainly used content gained else-ware as well as my own - please notify me so I can give credit where it is due.

Structure and Bonding keyword Dingbats

As the title says - "dingbats" for structure and bonding keywords (GCSE or A Level chemistry). The answers are in the notes below the slides. Tweet me @Mr_S_WHSG if you want dingbats for any other topics - I genuinely enjoy making them!
Analysis of H1NMR, IR & MS

Analysis of H1NMR, IR & MS

(3)
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!
Structure and bonding problem solving task.

Structure and bonding problem solving task.

(1)
I used this as a stretch activity for top year 10's. It is a problem solving activity that requires an understanding of the concepts of ionic and covalent bonding. Encourages pupils to apply their knowledge! ( The answers are X = Sodium, Y = Carbon and Z = Chlorine). P.S. I know that some of the statements are not necessarily true, but they are for the purpose of GCSE chemistry!

A2 Typical Exam Questions

This formed part of an A2 revion session of model exam questions. Exam questions answered surrounded: Colour in transition metal complexes. Recrystallisation. Titrations. Concentrations & colorimetry. N.B. The maths in chemistry section applies to the calculations for A-Level chemistry book by Jim Clark of 'chemguide.com' http://www.amazon.co.uk/Calculations-AS-A-Level-Chemistry/dp/0582411270.
Structure and bonding - 'Find Someone Who' task

Structure and bonding - 'Find Someone Who' task

(0)
Designed for AQA C2, this is a structure and bonding task, including polymers. Each pupil has a sheet, and they have to go around the class and find different people that explain the answer to each question. Kind of like bingo. Then once someone has finished they come to you, and in front of the class have to answer random questions from the grid correctly to win.

This is a Powerpoint that served as part of a revision session I ran with A2 chemists. I used 'molymods,' and they had to makes transitions between all the functional groups in the Powerpoint using and molymods, whilst suggesting reagents. Tweet @Mr_S_WHSG

A starter to get year 12 or 13 thinking laterally about alkenes. Ansers ion the comments under the slide. Tweet me @Mr_S_WHSG for more dingbats.
Variety of baby scan images for twins and reproduction

Variety of baby scan images for twins and reproduction

(0)
For KS3 Biology (maybe KS4) - Reproduction section. I printed these images onto 1 sheet of A4 and got my year 7 class to discuss and annotate each of the images. The first one showing a regular baby - they had to label. The second shows twins that appear to share an amniotic sack - so potentially (not necessarily) mono-zygotic. The third shows twins that are in 2 separate amniotic sacks (potentially?) so are di-zygotic. The fourth shows conjoined twins. The pictures brought out some really interesting questions and discussions from my class!
