A Powerpoint presentation on addition polymers from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers what an addition polymer is, drawing polymers from monomers (and vice versa) and disposing of polymers. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson on the Law of Conversation of Mass for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers what is the Law of Conservation of Mass, how to apply the law to calculate the mass in exam questions and how to prove the law of conservation of mass using moles. Contains exam questions through the presentation for students to work on without printing or you can use the word document included and print those questions out for students to work through.

A Powerpoint presentation covering free radical substitution from the OCR new A-level specification. Lesson covers what is homolytic fission, steps in a free radical substitution reaction and why free radical substitution leads to a mixture of products. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson on corrosion and electroplating designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what corrosion is, how rusting of iron can be prevented and how electroplating works. Includes a link to a video, gap fills and exam questions for students to complete – no printing required.

A lesson on alloys designed for the Edexcel 9-1 separate science specification. The lesson covers what an alloy is, why alloys are stronger than pure metals and the properties and uses of alloys. Contains factsheets and a table for students to fill in and exam questions to complete.

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 transition metals. It covers the properties of metals and the properties and reactivity of the transition metals compared to the alkali metals. Questions and answers are on the slides – no printing required. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE chemistry specification.

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.

A lesson on aldehydes and ketones designed for the new OCR A level spec. Includes a review of naming aldehydes and ketones, why C=O undergoes nucleophilic addition, mechanism for the reaction and reactions of carbonyls with NaBH4 and CN. Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.

Lesson covers the reactivity of alkenes v alkanes, what an addition reaction is and introduces key concepts needed to understand addition reactions – electrophile, curly arrow and heterolytic fission. First of a series of 3 lessons on addition in alkenes. Contains questions on slides, so no printing required.

A lesson on amino acids and chirality designed for the new OCR A level spec. Includes what an amino acid is, reactions of amino acids, a review of isomerism, optical isomers and identifying the chiral carbon in organic compounds. Includes questions on slides for students to work through – no printing required.
