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 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.
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.

hf583hf583

GCSE Chemistry Structure and Bonding Activity cards - Giant and Simple Covalent Bonding

(0)
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.
AS Chemistry Alcohols - Oxidation Products of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Alcohols
hf583hf583

AS Chemistry Alcohols - Oxidation Products of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Alcohols

(0)
This resources is a whole lesson on identifying the oxidation products of alcohols from primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. It comprises of a lesson PowerPoint which guides you through the lesson from identifying primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols on the starter worksheet and onto the oxidation and reduction card match activity for the key oxidation, reduction, oxidising agent and reducing agent definitions. Another activity includes identifying the oxidation products by a card matching activity where students use the Task 3 oxidation laminated sheets to match the oxidation aldehyde, ketone and carboxylic acid patterns cards. A student's note sheet is also provided which students can fill in using the information on the PowerPoint. The final activity of writing oxidation equations for primary and secondary alcohols is solely on the PowerPoint and includes an answer slide.
