Made for the NEW AQA GCSE Chemistry specification to be sat Summer 2018. Uses a circus research task. Info cards are embedded within powerpoint for easy printing.

Made for the NEW AQA GCSE Chemistry specification to be sat Summer 2018. Uses a cracking demo and bromine test to test for unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Made for the NEW AQA GCSE Chemistry specification to be sat Summer 2018. Requires a combustion apparatus demo to detect the water and carbon dioxide produced when burning a fuel (candle).

Made for the NEW AQA GCSE Chemistry specification to be sat Summer 2018. Requires a demo of fractional distillation using standard distillation apparatus and a mixture of various "fractions". I would recommend using the recipe outlined by CLEAPPS.

Made for the NEW AQA GCSE Chemistry specification to be sat Summer 2018. Requires a video which I can no longer find on Youtube, so have saved it. Can be accessed here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9xOTq0SFCFqUGU5MmZWbnBnUVk/view?usp=sharing

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. Uses a class practical of Electrolysing Sodium Chloride solution with damp blue litmus to test for the production of Chlorine. Having done simple ionic compounds in a previous lesson, most students will already predict this correctly, but will notice that a prediction of Sodium forming does not occur and they should use their previous knowledge to suggest plausible reasons why. Some may need a little more scaffolding questioning to aid them in this.

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. Uses an old (but good) RSC video on Aluminium Extraction that I watched myself at GCSE many moons ago. Can be found easily on youtube, but here's the link I used in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaSwimvCGA8

made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. Includes the electrolysis of Copper Chloride as the chosen example. This is due to the fact that it will separate like a simple binary compound despite being in solution and doesn't make it complicated for students new to electrolysis.

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. This is a strict lesson regarding timings. If you pause too long early on, you will likely run out of time. Can be spread over 2 lessons if preferred to allow for recrystallisation stage not shown here or for simply more time to take over the reaction. Also included, is the required practical assessment for the lesson.

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. Essentially a 2-part lesson. Requires a titration example in the first part with a heavy focus on method and indicators. Second part is the including required practical assessment and presumes (due to course order) they have already done Chemical quantities and can calculate concentrations from titre values. I personally believe this required practical should have been in the Chemical quantities topic, but AQA have put it here instead.

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. Requires a small practical testing Metals with acids. The metals you choose to use are up to you, but I would recommend a range such as: - Magnesium ribbon - Zinc (use smaller granules than lumps otherwise it can react slower than large Iron filings due to surface area problems) - Iron (large filings) - Copper (any)

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry Spec to be sat Summer 2018. Requires a demo of the elctrolysis of Copper Sulphate to show extraction by electrolysis (briefly as shows up elsewhere in topic). Also uses the extraction of Copper from Copper Oxide with Carbon as in the RSC document (http://www.rsc.org/learn-chemistry/resource/res00000417/extracting-metals-with-charcoal?cmpid=CMP00005112). I would recommend doing the lead one, as it's easier to get a good amount of lead beads than Copper, but take into consideration the class practical ability beforehand. Make sure students set up the Copper extraction swiftly and then progress onto the levelled criteria WHILST it occurs, else you will run out of time.

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. Lesson requires a small simple practical based on acid and metal reactions. Metals needed are on the powerpoint.

Made for the New GCSE AQA Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. Involves a quick demo of burning FINE Iron filings (oxidation). Must be fine, the large ones don't oxidise quick enough. Also a practical of displacement reactions to show metals being oxidised AND reduced. Needs the following kit: - Zinc Sulphate - Copper Sulphate - Iron (II) Sulphate - Zinc - Copper - Iron

Made for the New AQA GCSE Chemistry spec to be sat summer 2018. Requires a practical of the precipitation of Lead Iodide from Lead Nitrate and Potassium Iodide as it's more interesting than the over-used Thermal Decomposition of a Carbonate. This will need to be filtered and dried. I would personally recommend doing the practical straight away and then getting the filter papers to a drying oven, but if you have a large heating mantle, hot radiators or even a heated baking tray this should dry the sample sufficiently to test.

Made for the New AQA GCSE Chemistry spec to be sat summer 2018. This lesson requires titration apparatus using 1M Hydrochloric Acid and Methyl Orange indicator. The students will also need the 0.5M Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate solutions they made in the last lesson.

Made for the new New AQA GCSE Chemistry course to be sat Summer 2018. Requires students to make a solution of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate to be used in a later lesson titration practical. If you have volumetric flasks, even for a demo, I would recommend showing them the correct apparatus. As is, I had to make do with conical flasks and measuring cylinders as it appears someone has thrown away ours!

Made for the New AQA GCSE Chemistry spec to be sat Summer 2018. This lesson requires a practical consisting of two experiments: 1. Burning magnesium in a crucible 2. Reacting Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid (though any acid will work, you will just need to edit the sheet). Any questions please just ask :)
