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.

GCSE Chemistry Calculating Reacting Masses worksheet
hf583hf583

GCSE Chemistry Calculating Reacting Masses worksheet

(0)
A worksheet comprising of 8 questions to help students practice calculating the moles of reactants and products. This sheet involves either calculating the maximum theoretical yield possible from a reaction or the amount of reactants needed for a reaction. Answers included.
GCSE Chemistry Acids, Bases and Salts Worksheet
hf583hf583

GCSE Chemistry Acids, Bases and Salts Worksheet

(0)
This worksheet contains questions covering the four general word equations for neutralising acids, naming salts, identifying the other products of neutralisation (water, hydrogen or carbon dioxide), identifying gases, salts, acids, alkalis and bases from equations, and practice at writing the ionic formulae of salts and metal carbonates.
GCSE Chemistry Structure and Bonding Questions (Sticky Labels)
hf583hf583

GCSE Chemistry Structure and Bonding Questions (Sticky Labels)

(0)
The four files listed contain 4 different questions to assess learning of the fundamentals of Structure and Bonding. They are set up to be printed on 21 labels per page sticky label sheets. These can be used in conjunction with diagnostic homework - for example, if students have incorrectly answered a question on ionic or covalent bonding, these can be used to supplement and reinforce any corrections to be made upon student feedback. Bonding 1 looks at basic bonding questions for ammonia and Bonding 2 does the same for lithium fluoride. Bonding 3 asks students to draw the electrons arrangements for the atom and then the ion formed, working out the charges the ions end up with. Bonding 4 requires students to explain and describe the type of bonding in different substances.
AS and Year 1 Free-radical substitution Mechanisms Revision - Lollipanisms (Lollipop Mechanisms)
hf583hf583

AS and Year 1 Free-radical substitution Mechanisms Revision - Lollipanisms (Lollipop Mechanisms)

(0)
A revision activity for learning and practicing free-radical substitution reactions. The above resources are needed along with a set of lollipop sticks. The stickers document contains 3 halogens (fluorine, chlorine and bromine - labelled as A, B and C) and 10 alkanes/halogenoalkanes (labelled 1 to 10) for the halogen to react with. Each pair or group of students should have a set of lollipop sticks containing 9 sticks with halogens printed or written on them (3 of each halogen) and one each of the 10 alkanes/halogenoalkanes. The sticks could be colour coded by adding a stripe of colour or washi tape around the top edge for ease of seeing. Students pick one halogen and one alkane/halogenoalkane and write the full mechanism including the initiation, propagation and termination steps. The answers are provided on 8 answer sheets which are set up to be printed on sticky labels (4 per sheet) or directly onto card to be cut up into A6 size. The cards could be ring bound (30 cards in total) to give one complete set of answers (A1-A10, B1 -B10 and C1-C10). Students can self-assess their answers. All combinations of answers included.
AQA GCSE 9-1 Chemistry C8 Chemical Analysis - Identification of Positive and Negative Ions Starters
hf583hf583

AQA GCSE 9-1 Chemistry C8 Chemical Analysis - Identification of Positive and Negative Ions Starters

(0)
Two starters/plenaries covering the GCSE Chemistry C8 Chemical Analysis Identification of Positive and Negative Ions for the Separate Science qualification. Students are asked to identify ionic compounds from their flame tests and/or the results from their chemical tests with sodium hydroxide (metal ions) and hydrochloric acid, acidified barium chloride and acidified silver nitrate. This covers all the required knowledge for the identification of positive and negative ions.
GCSE Chemistry Elements, Compounds and Atomic Structure Starters, Plenaries and Short Activities
hf583hf583

GCSE Chemistry Elements, Compounds and Atomic Structure Starters, Plenaries and Short Activities

(0)
This resource contains 54 different Chemistry lesson starters, plenaries and short lesson activities for GCSE Chemistry. They would suit all GCSE Chemistry courses which cover elements, mixtures and compounds, atomic structure and sub-atomic particles, isotopes, electronic arrangement, calculating relative atomic masses, ions and charges, and writing and balancing equations. These worksheets were designed for the AQA Chemistry specification for C1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table. There are four identical copies of each activity per A4 page to allow students to glue the small worksheet into an A5 exercise book and still have room to complete working out on the same page.
GCSE Chemistry 9-1 Working Out Protons, Electrons and Neutrons
hf583hf583

GCSE Chemistry 9-1 Working Out Protons, Electrons and Neutrons

(0)
A worksheet to practice calculating the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in a given element (common to all GCSE exam boards). The sheet provides 30 different elements with their mass and atomic number. The elements gradually become larger with more neutrons providing more challenge towards the bottom of the sheet.
AQA A Level Chemistry Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer - Predicting Spectra of Diatomic Molecules
hf583hf583

AQA A Level Chemistry Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer - Predicting Spectra of Diatomic Molecules

(0)
This resource consists of 3 PowerPoint presentations and 1 worksheet guiding students in how to predict the mass spectra of the diatomic molecules chlorine and bromine. This leads students through using simple probability to calculate the ratio of the 3 molecular ion peak heights and in sketching the spectra of chlorine and bromine. Also included are 2 application questions requiring students to apply their knowledge of probability in predicting the mass spectra of oxygen and nitrogen molecules.
AQA GCSE Chemistry Atomic Structure and Periodic Table Practice Makes Perfect Revision booklet (F)
hf583hf583

AQA GCSE Chemistry Atomic Structure and Periodic Table Practice Makes Perfect Revision booklet (F)

(0)
This booklet is designed to revise the first section of the new AQA GCSE Chemistry/Trilogy course on Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table. It contains 10 revision sets of FOUNDATION questions. Each question is related to one of ten common topics from the section. It can be used as a starter or plenary booklet over 10 lessons, or as part of a structured revision program. Students can monitor their progress over the course of the ten question sets. Very suitable to foundation level students to reinforce prior learning.
GCSE Chemistry Calculating Relative Molecular Masses (Mr)  starter/plenary
hf583hf583

GCSE Chemistry Calculating Relative Molecular Masses (Mr) starter/plenary

(0)
This is a PowerPoint activity that can be used as either a starter or plenary to assess understanding of how to calculate Mr for different substances. Slide 2 could be printed onto cards and each student given a different card to work out the Mr (30 different substances in total). If the relevant substance is clicked on slide 2, the PowerPoint shows the correct Mr for that substance. This is a useful AfL tool.
