This lesson covers electrolysis of aqueous solutions - predicting the products and writing balanced half-equations. It includes a cart sort in which students match the salt, its ions and the products. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 combined science spec.

A lesson covering formulas and calculations - the lesson covers relative definitions of empirical and molecular formulas, how to get an empirical formula from a molecular formula, and how to calculate a molecular formula from an empirical formula and the relative formula mass. Includes plenty of questions for students to work out on the slides so not printing is needed. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE spec.

A lesson on oxidation, reduction and corrosion designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Lesson covers what is rusting, what iron needs to rust, how rusting can be prevented and the difference between rusting and corrosion. Lesson then defines oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen and asks students to apply that to some equations. Then the lesson goes on to cover the higher only content on oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons.

A lesson on the carboxylic acid homologous series. It covers what a carboxylic acid is, how carboxylic acids are weak acids and the making of esters from acids. Questions and answers provided on slides – no need to print. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE specification.

A collection of starters covering the middle portion of Module 6 - Organic Chemistry. Each starter contains a bronze/silver/gold option and the answers are given on the following slide. Includes 9 starters: Review of benzene (covers content from several lessons) Carbonyl compounds ID aldehydes and ketones Introduction of amines and amides Carboxylic Acids Carboxylic Acid Derivatives Synthesis of Amines and Amides Amino Acids and Chirality Condensation Polymers

Powerpoints for the for the core practical on making copper sulfate for Edexcel 9-1. One covers the theory of the practical and the other is a Power Point for the practical itself. Due to the length of the practical, you will need more than one lesson to cover the theory and to complete the practical.
