I am a GCSE and A-level Chemistry specialist teacher in a 14-18 school with 15 years teaching experience and several years research experience. I provide GCSE, AS and A2 Chemistry resources (mainly for the AQA specifications) to help students practice the concepts learned in lessons and I am a firm believer in 'Practice makes perfect'. I strive wherever possible to include the answers to the worksheets.

These worksheets are for AQA GCSE Chemistry Trilogy 5.4 Chemical Changes section on Electrolysis. The first, Predicting the Products from the Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions, allows students to practise identifying the products formed at the anode and cathode, given a variety of different solutions. The second worksheet is on balancing half-equations. Each worksheet comes with accompanying answers.
A set of four activity cards to help learn the basic ions and to revise and practise writing formulae for ionic compounds including salts, acids and alkalis. This covers some of the formulae writing and ions recall required for AQA GCSE Trilogy Science and GCSE Chemistry. These cards are formatted as labels and can be printed as sticky labels (4 labels per sheet, 99.1 x 139mm) for sticking directly onto cards or for sticking directly in student books.
This is a collection of 3 resources for AQA GCSE Chemistry Trilogy 5.4 Chemical Changes Displacement Reactions section. There is a practical sheet for determining the order of reactivity for four metals: copper, magnesium, iron and zinc. There are two accompanying worksheets for students to practise identifying the products (if any) from a variety of potential displacement reactions.
AS Chemistry worksheet for practicing naming aldehydes and ketones. This contains a variety of straight-chain and branched-chain aldehydes and ketones along with other substituents students will have met in previous topics. Hints given on worksheet as to how to attempt naming where appropriate. Answers included.
Two activity cards to help reinforce and revise the basics of giant and simple covalent bonding for either the outgoing Chemistry specification or the new AQA Chemistry / Trilogy GCSE. These cards are formatted as labels and can be printed as sticky labels (4 labels per sheet, 99.1 x 139mm) for sticking directly onto cards or for sticking directly in student books. The giant covalent activity involves classifying statements as either belonging to diamond or graphite. The simple molecules activity involves matching 2 halves of sentences together.
A resource suitable to revise and embed AS and Year One Chemistry Organic Synthesis routes with practice in naming and outlining the mechanisms covered by the AQA specification. This resource consists of 3 exam-style questions showing different organic synthesis routes. Students are required to identify and draw the mechanism for the reaction, and to identify the reagents and conditions needed for each conversion shown. Ideal for both AS and A2 students to revise and practice synthesis questions. The questions include free-radical substitution, nucleophilic substitution, hydrolysis reactions, elimination, addition polymerisation and electrophilic addition reactions. Answers are included.
This resource consists of 80 balancing equations cards, each containing one equation to balance. These can be laminated or printed onto card and bound with a split ring to make a bundle. Each one shows the level of difficulty of the balancing required and can be used as an extension task or to support the development of lower attaining students. There are 20 easy, 36 medium and 23 hard equations to balance. Answers are included on separate sheets.
A resource useful for revising the key concepts of the pH scale (colours with universal indicator, pH numbers of strong and weak acids and alkalis, and the naming of salts). There are 23 questions and 9 different bingo cards to use. This is particularly useful for foundation tier students.
An activity that could be used as a test or as a worksheet to reinforce the colours of the aqueous complex ions required for the AQA A2 Chemistry specification. Answers provided. Each colour quoted has been taken from previous CHEM5 mark schemes for the relevant complexes.
This bundle contains 5 resources - 2 worksheets practicing calculating reacting masses, a titration calculations worksheet, empirical formula worksheet and a worksheet to balance equations from reacting masses and empirical formulae.
This resource contains 10 questions covering Mass Spectroscopy and NMR. Each question is based around a compound/structure and asks students to identify splitting patterns in proton NMR and the numbers of peaks observed in their proton and carbon-13 NMR spectra. The questions also incorporate the identification of chiral centres and molecular formulae based on the skeletal formulae given in the questions.
This resource is a test designed to assess section 3.1.1 of the AQA AS/Year 1 specification for A-level Chemistry. It contains 4 exam-style questions covering the basics of atomic structure, time of flight mass spectrometry theory and associated calculations, electron configuration and trends in ionisation energies. The test is out of 52 marks and comes with grade boundaries. All answers are provided.
This bundle includes a PowerPoint outlining the basics of the Chromatography technique and practical to be carried out. There is a practical sheet complete with equipment list, method and questions. The PowerPoint provides information to help answer the practical sheet questions, along with further questions to test student’s knowledge of separation techniques. There is a key word match sheet to assist in this.
This resource is a complete pdf scheme of work for teaching the AQA Year 2 Aromatic Chemistry topic. It includes teacher notes sheets, student sheets, worksheets, starters, practice and exam-style questions, and an aromatic chemistry test. All answers are included. The topic starts with a student specification tick sheet to help students organise and revise the topic. The content includes the structure and bonding of benzene, looking at the evidence for the structure and bonding in terms of lack of addition reactions, x-ray crystallography and thermochemical evidence. There is an extensive section on naming aromatic compounds, which includes 3 worksheets and 2 lesson starters. There is also full coverage of electrophilic substitution with a range of practice questions, 6 exam-style questions and a comprehensive aromatic chemistry test.
Please note that not all pages can be seen in the preview so I have provided one nomenclature worksheet and answers in .docx format to show the style of the whole support pack.
Worksheet for GCSE Chemistry or AS Chemistry containing 13 questions on calculating relative atomic masses from isotope mass and percentage abundances. Answers included.
This resource contains a PowerPoint with several worked examples showing how to calculate atom economy and brief discussion of why reactions should have a high atom economy. A step-by-step worksheet is included to complement the PowerPoint along with an additional extra practice worksheet. All answers are included.
TOF Mass Spectrometer worksheet and answers for the calculating percentage abundance of isotopes given only the relative atomic mass. Designed for AQA GCE Chemistry. Full answers provided.
