This is a worksheet revising the production of ethanol by fermentation versus direct hydration of ethene with steam, oxidation and associated chemical tests of the oxidation products. Answers included.

The worksheet includes questions to classify alcohols as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, and to identify which alcohols will form aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids.

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.

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.

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.

Key words and definitions for AQA AS and Year One Chemistry. In the key words and definitions file, the key words and definitions are attached but could be easily separated to produce a sort card activity or used as is for general revision. The pairs memory file contains the same key words and definitions but are separated to use as a matching activity. Definitions include oxidising agent, reducing agent, oxidation, reduction, electrophile, nucleophile, standard enthalpy of combustion, standard enthalpy of formation, hydration, substitution reaction, structural isomers, stereoisomers, mean bond enthalpy, enthalpy change, Hess’s law, activation energy, electronegativity, hydrolysis, addition reaction and elimination reaction.

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.

Stickers for marking Science books. These focus on feedback to enable students to improve the presentation of written work and diagrams, literacy and use of key words, and a reminder for students to respond to feedback and to self-assess their own work. Intended for printing on A4 sticky labels (8 per sheet - 99.1 x 67.7 mm).

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 homework covering the GCSE Chemistry C8 Chemical Analysis Identification of Positive and Negative Ions for the Separate Science qualification. Students are asked to identify 10 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 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.

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.

Four worksheets to check student’s understanding of electron configuration of atoms, ions (including transition metals) and ionisation energies. Each has 4-5 questions. These could be used as starters, plenaries or as a quick homework task for self-assessment. Answers included.

Three quick check worksheets to check progress for topic 3.1.1 Atomic Structure for AQA. Complete with full answers. These could be used as homeworks, starter activities or as revision lesson activities.

A worksheet on balancing equations that includes easy, medium and hard questions. Can also be used for AS Chemistry. A total of 38 equations to balance. Answers included. Ideally suited to use as a stretch-and-challenge resource.

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 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.

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.
