Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification). Covers the reactions and mechanisms for addition-elimination reactions of acyl chlorides, acid anhydrides and amide. This lesson comes before the required practical making, and testing purity, of an organic solid.

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification). Recaps understanding of some key words, dot cross diagrams and understanding of basicity. Covers preparation of aliphatic and aromatic amines (including mechanisms) and properties as required.

Designed for low ability set with lots of SEN students. Includes pictures and activities. Use pre-made slides of different tissues to compare. Literacy task, AfL.

Introduction on how to calculate RFM. Includes lots of mini whiteboard practice and a differentiated task.

Encourages pupils to think about the impact of extracting metals. Covers extraction with carbon and electrolysis. Differentiated task included.

Designed for foundation class for new AQA 9-1 GCSE. This lesson follows on from the electrolysis required practical. Everything you need for the lesson is included here, rules for predicting products, AfL mini whiteboard activity and key word recap. Does not go into half equations at electrodes.

Water purification (Potable Water) for AQA 1-9. Power point and practical sheet. Students test the pH of 3 types of water (any available will do), and then evaporate off to see if any solid is left behind. The worksheet gives a full method plus space for students to record results and answer questions on the method (preparing for exams).

Revision lesson for the first unit of Biology in Y8 (AQA). Looks at key words and definitions, a quiz quiz trade activity and differentiated exam question to extend learning (scaffolding is given in the notes on the power point). Please read the notes on the power point for how key word activities and exam questions are intended to be used.

Whole lesson with activities to encourage students to discuss ideas and use information to make decisions about the most appropriate choices for applications. Consideration of safety, cost, state etc.

I put this resource together to help my Y11’s to revise for the required practicals. It gives a basic outline of the method for each of the 6 Chemistry practicals in the new 9-1 Trilogy specification, along with the variables (where necessary), diagrams of equipment, some hints and tips and safety pointers that may be useful for the exams. I have also included links to other topics in the specification - there is no information on these but it gives students an indication of where these practicals may be linked to other topics. I have found this really useful to use alongside exam questions.

Revision lesson of RFM build around the summer 2018 exam question. This lesson was put together for foundation tier students, but content applies to higher tier. Discusses the command word, topic and key words of the questions then walks through the information that students need to answer the question with mini white board practice questions at each stage. FInally use knowldge to answer the exam question as a class and then further question individually.

I put this together as part of AQA A-Level revision for Y13. Summary of what metal-aqua ions are and they reactivity with NH3, NaOH and Na2CO3 (colour changes etc). I printed out the last slide and gave them a copy each for their notes.

Revision of the topics mitosis and meiosis. Brief teaching slides covering both with diagrams, multiple choice questions to check understanding (I use mini white boards for this). Exam questions with answers for independent work and a 6 mark question. Indented as revision for a middle ability set.

Revision lesson aimed at a middle ability Y11 class with very little recall or hormones and hormonal control. Covers the main glands, their locations and what their role is as well as the control of blood sugar levels and diabetes. Some tasks are included to check understanding as you go. Exam questions could also be included as appropriate for your class. You will need a text book or other information source to support students with some tasks unless you expect them to have good recall of the topic.

Lesson for top set Y9 on Chemical catalysts. Includes reaction profiles and a look at the change in activation energy, the shape of the catalyst and evaluate command word exam question. 2 practicals are done in this lesson, but could be adapted to include just one, neither, or a practical of your choice. More info on the practicals I do is in the lesson.

Put together for KS3 (Y8). Starts with a quiz and then some AfL to assess current knowledge and allow for discussion of different energy needs/food intake and why. You will need some food labels for them to analyse in groups and compare to each others. Oracy and literacy task. And plenary to get them thinking about health vs energy.

Full lesson on one sheet. Print the sheet and give on per student. Starter included on sheet. Full method and results table as well as balancing equations plenary. This can be linked to bond making, conservation of mass or balancing equations. Or use as an extension to bring all three together.

Document includes full method for titration and making crystals, plus results table for titration readings. Page two is an equipment list per pair. I put this together when I was looking for a different titration to do with my Y11 Chemistry class. This uses methyl orange as the indicator. They need to be accurate with the end point otherwise they will make coloured crystals. We extended this by looking at the crystals we made under the microscope and making observations. The class found it more engaging than the usual titration work. Easily links in to discussion on the choice of indicator and can be extended to include % yield.

A one page summary of the Rate and Extent of Chemical Change unit of the AQA new specification for Chemistry. This can be used for both Trilogy and separate Chemistry specifications. A good revision document for the end of the unit or could be used as an introduction. - Collision Theory - Factors affecting rate of reaction - Calculating rates of reaction - Reversible reactions - Equilibrium and Le Chatelier's principle - Required practical

Put together for AQA A Level Chemistry (new specification). Covers how the structure of benzene is determines and the reactions that occurs on the benzene ring (with mechanisms) including Friedel-Crafts acylation. Tasks throughout to test and encourage thought. A differentiated task to assess listening and understanding and a differentiated plenary.
