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.
This GCSE resource contains a PowerPoint and two worksheets to help students calculate uncertainty. The step-by-step worksheet guides students through the PowerPoint and an additional worksheet has more practice calculations. All answers included.
AQA A2 Chemistry Redox Titrations Exam-Style Questions including answers. These questions cover several different calculations involving manganate (VII) and dichromate (VI) ions with either Fe2+ ions or hydrogen peroxide. Calculations involve working out the percentage by mass of iron in a sample, calculating the number of waters of crystallisation (e.g. FeSO4.xH2O) and concentration of reagent used.
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 2 worksheets. The Amino Acids worksheet contains three questions (with answers) covering zwitterions, the structures of amino acids at high and low pH, and the accompanying reactions of amino acids with alcohols and excess halogenoalkanes. The polymers worksheet contains two questions (with answers) which cover the identification of repeating units for addition polymers and condensation polymers, and intermolecular forces present between the polymer chains in polyesters and polyesters.
Worksheet for AQA GCSE Chemistry/Trilogy or AS Chemistry on calculating relative atomic masses from isotope mass and percentage abundances. Answers included.
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.
This worksheet practices the rules for giving the full IUPAC names for alkenes including E and Z designators. This could be used as an in-class activity, starter or quick check homework. 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.
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 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 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.
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.
A worksheet containing 4 questions on calculating a specific bond energy given the overall energy change (delta H) for a reaction.
Suitable for GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Science Trilogy courses.
All answers and working included.
A set of 19 exam-style multiple choice questions for the revision of key concepts in Inorganic and Physical Chemistry (Paper 1). Covers Amount of Substance, Atomic Structure, Ionisation Energies and Bonding. Answers included. Questions are formatted to enable printing as cards or as labels (8 per sheet) for sticking onto cards or use in books/folders.
