This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.3 n and o of the OCR A level Chemistry specification- Neutralisation. The lesson opens by considering the use of a pH meter to track a neutralisation reaction. This also includes data for plotting a pH curve. It then moves on to looking at the end point of a titration as well as the equivalence point. It explains the colour change that occurs at the end point and why it happens. The final part of the lesson considers different indicators and how to choose which would be the best to use for each titration. The final activity is an exam question. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so most of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.

A pair of lessons covering sections 5.2.3 f-i of the OCR Chemistry specification- electrode potentials The first lesson starts by looking at what half-cells are, how they are formed and the importance of salt bridges. It also covers how they can be used to measure standard electrode potentials. The lesson then covers half equations and using them to calculate the voltage of a electrochemical cell. The second lesson looks at the feasibility of reactions and how they can be predicted using half-cells. It also looks at the limitations of using electrode potentials to predict reactions Both lessons include lots of student independent work tasks and all answers are included I am to reduce photocopying so all activties are in the PPTs (30 slides and 25 slides each)

A complete lesson covering section 5.2.3 a- e of the OCR Chemistry specification - redox reactions and carrying out redox titrations. The lesson opens with a reminder of oxidation numbers from year 12. It then looks at reducing and oxidising agents using an example to reinforce the idea. The lesson then moves onto how half equations can be used to construct overall equations for reactions, again with students led practice. It then looks at using oxidation numbers to complete equations, including when some species are missing from the equation (such as water) . The final part of the lesson looks at redox titrations including both how to carry them out as well as various examples of calculation including calculating purity and using it to work out water of crystalisation. The lesson includes worked examples and student independent practice. I aim to reduce copying so all activities are within the PowerPoint- 36 slides in total

A full lesson covering section 6.2.4 a-d of the OCR Chemistry specification- making carbon-carbon bonds. The lesson starts by looking at why we need to form new carbon-carbon bonds.
