I use this annotated AQA GCSE Periodic Table for my Y10 and Y11 students. There is a large space on the periodic table where students can put their name so they don’t lose it. I usually laminate the resource with the student’s name printed on it. The students have it as a reference for the entire GCSE course. Early on in the GCSE Chemistry course I allow students to use the annotated copy during assessments. Later in the course I make sure students are using the unannotated copy provided by AQA. Please remember this is an annotated copy of the AQA GCSE Chemistry periodic table, it is not the same as what students are allowed to use during exams.

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.

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.

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 making a salt 6 mark exam question is a great resource to assess students understanding of the chemical changes topic as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I use it as part of the AQA GCSE Chemical changes topic or sometimes as a starter with my A Level students. The resource is a common question frequently asked in AQA GCSE Chemistry paper 1 examinations. There is an accompanying help sheet that students can use as support material. The mark scheme gives clear directions on how to award different marks for students.

This is an essential resource for students learning about ionic bonding or electrolysis. The common ions resource can be used as a reference by students when they are trying to determine the formula of an ionic compound. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I give the common ions sheet to students and ask them to keep it at the front of their folders so that they can refer to it when needed. I also use it as a support sheet with my A Level Chemistry class too.

This giant ionic structures resource is best used alongside 2.4 Ionic bonding. Giant ionic structures is the fifth lesson in the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1. The main things I want students to take away from this resource is the ability to explain the properties of ionic substances. This resource includes: Information sheet (Giant ionic structures) Worksheet (Giant ionic) Answer sheet (Giant ionic)

These six mark questions are great for revision. I use these with my GCSE classes to consolidate learning at the end of the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Energy Changes’ topic in paper 1. The six mark question resource includes four six mark questions and accompanying mark schemes. They make ideal worksheets for the classroom or can even be used homework tasks.

I use this nanoparticles resource as a support sheet when students are researching nanoscience. Usually I would let the students use computers to research about nanoparticles and nanotechnology, sometimes students need a helping hand so I have the information sheet ready.

This superb resource on bond energy calculations can be used for all abilities. It includes a more demanding version in which students need to determine the bonds in the reactants and products, and also a support sheet to help those who find it more challenging. The bond energy calculations resource includes the answers and a useful bond energy reference sheet. I use this resource with my Y10 students and they really enjoy it!

A summary resource for AQA GCSE Chemistry Topic 4, Chemical Changes. I use this resource at the end of the elctrolysis part of the GCSE Chemistry course as a revision resource for students. The resource includes a page of blank templates that can be annotated by students.

This is a great chemistry and literacy game. Students learn the element symbols whilst also spelling words. It is best to use a combination of GCSE and A Level chemistry periodic tables so that students have the full scope of elements available to them. I use this resource with KS3, KS4 and KS5 as a starter and sometimes as a gap filler. Students really enjoy trying to find complex words and seeing how many individual element symbols they can use in a word. The resource comes with a question sheet, some example answers and a list of over 450 words that can be found in the periodic table. Questions cover different categories like foods, cars, countries, cities, football teams, and even Marvel characters.

This explaining trends 6 mark exam question is a great resource to assess students understanding of the atomic structure and the periodic table topic as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I use it as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry revision for paper 1 or at the end of the 1.11 Explaing trends lesson. Sometimes I use it as a starter with my A Level students (OCR Chemistry A). The resource is a common AQA exam question.

This resource includes two 6 mark questions and corresponding answer sheets on the periodic table. These 6 mark exam questions are examples of longer answer questions from previous AQA GCSE Chemistry exams. I use this resource with my GCSE classes as a plenary or memory retrieval starter. I also use it sometimes with KS3 classes to extend the more able. These 6 mark questions are great to be used as a synoptic revision tool as they link in with many other concepts from the course.

This is an essential resource for students to have at the front of their folders. The AQA GCSE Chemistry Topics page is a constant reminder to students of which topics are in each paper. Students also find it useful to have an overview of the course and see what topics have and haven’t been covered.

This checklist resource for the AQA GCSE Chemistry Chemical changes topic in paper 1 allows students to reflect on their performance in an end of topic assessment and identify areas that need further revision. I use this with my GCSE classes at the end of each topic so that they have a clear list of topics that they can work on for mock/final exams.

This checklist is a great resource for students to reflect on their learning and identify areas that need further work. I would suggest students use it along side an end of topic test or mock exam in order to pick up their weaknesses.

This resource is a straight forward reference sheet on alloys. I tend to use this resource as a support sheet for students when they are doing some independent research.

This checklist for the AQA GCSE Chemistry ‘Structure, bonding, and the properties of matter’ topic in paper 1 is useful for students to reflect on a performance in a test and identify areas for improvement. I use this with my GCSE classes at the end of each topic so that they have a group of things that they can focus on before a mock or final exam.

This bonding summary resource can be given out as a reference sheet or as a classroom task. I use this resource as a revision sheet at the end of the topic. It’s also really useful to annotate with explanations of the properties listed in the table.
