The accompanying worksheet asks students to name compounds formed from combinations of elements and also to identify the elements in a compound. The naming compounds worksheet also asks students to name some chemical formulae with their common name. An answer sheet is included.

This bumper resource is full of everything you need to help your students understand the first required practical in the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I use this with my Y10 students to help them make connections between the chemical changes topic and the making a salt required practical. The resource can be printed as a booklet or as individual resources. Included in the resource is: What is a salt (Information sheet) Naming Apparatus (Worksheet) Generic how to make a salt (Information sheet) Method tick sheet (Preparing copper sulfate crystals) Method questions (Worksheet) Exam question x 4

I use this cracking hydrocarbons resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Organic chemistry’ topic in paper 2. The resource includes an information sheet and two worksheets to help students understand how larger hydrocarbons are used to provide feedstock for other organic reactions. This resource includes: 2 x Information sheet 2 x Worksheets Answer sheets

I use this working scientifically resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course to help students identify independent, dependent, and control variables for different scientific investigations. The resource has 21 scientific scenarios where the students have to deduce the different variables. This is an excellent chance to bring literacy into a lesson too. The resource contains: 1 x Information sheet 1 x Question sheet 1 x Answer sheet

This resource is a selection of periodic tables at different levels of completion. Challenge your students by asking them to complete the periodic table in a set time or simply use it as a memory retrieval technique.

I introduce neutralisation as the fourth lesson in the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Chemical changes’ topic in paper 1. Having learned about acids and bases and ionic equations students can see more easily how neutralisation occurs and how water is produced. The neutralisation resource includes: Information sheet (Neutralisation) Worksheet (Neutralisation) Answer sheet (Neutralisation) The worksheet is differentiated so that all abilities can use the same worksheet but have slightly different tasks.

This extraction of aluminium resource is part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Chemical changes’ topic in paper 1. The resources are differentiated to help both the low ability and stretch the more able. The extraction of aluminium resource includes: Information sheet (Extraction of aluminium) Worksheet (Extraction of aluminium - 3 differentiations) Answer sheet (Extraction of aluminium)

This electrolysis resource is great to use as an introduction to electrolysis and then move onto aqueous electrolysis. The blank templates allow teachers to go through several examples of their own choice or they can use the pre-filled questions. There are a variety of differentiated resources to give to students of different abilities. The electrolysis resource includes: Information sheet 1 and 2 (Electrolysis) Worksheet (Electrolysis) Answer sheet (Electrolysis) Blank templates (Electrolysis)

This resource is a great starter activity. There are 42 different pages all containing 12 individual bingo grids. No two bingo grids the same out of the 504 available. The accompanying powerpoint will randomly go to an element slide when the play icon is pressed. I use this starter daily with all of my classes. I randomly pick from a jar of ping pong balls with element symbols on. Sometimes I’ll call out the name and other times I’ll challenge the students by calling out proton numbers or even mass numbers. My students have a sheet each and pick which grid they use. There is also a blank bingo grid page if you want students to pick their own elements.

This empirical formula resource contains an information sheet that explains how to calculate the empirical formula of a substance; a question sheet; and accompanying answer sheet. I use this with my OCR Chemistry A year 12 class but it is also suitable for GCSE courses that cover empirical formula. This could be used to extend students as part of the AQA GCSE Quantitative chemistry topic.

This 6 mark question is a great way to assess if students have understood the fundamentals of states of matter. I use this states of matter resource with my GCSE students as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. The resource comes with an answer sheet including examiners guidance.

This is a great revision resource or starter activity for the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. The resource includes the question sheet and answer sheet.

Included in this resource: 6 mark question (x3) on bonding. Associated mark schemes with examiner guidance. I use this resource as a revision exercise for the ‘Structure, bonding, and properties of matter’ topic in paper 1 of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. It’s a great way of accessing students overall understanding.

This resource contains two word searches; one for atomic structure and the other for the periodic table. Both resources come with questions and an indication of how many letters are in the answer, the answer is then located amongst the words. I use this resource with my GCSE students. Primarily I use it as a revision tool but it can be useful to support the less able too. The questions are modeled around the AQA GCSE Chemistry specification but would be suitable for all GCSE Chemistry courses.

This titration 6 mark exam question is a great resource to assess students understanding of a titration. I use it as part of the AQA GCSE Quantitative Chemistry topic or sometimes in the AQA GCSE Chemical Changes topic. The resource is a common question frequently asked in AQA GCSE Chemistry paper 1. There is an accompanying information sheet that students can use a reference resource too. This could also be used as an A Level starter or memory retrieval question.
