An animated powerpoint that explains adsorption and solubilities.

Isotopes of hydrogen are used to show what isotopes are. Calculations of Relative Atomic Mass are covered through a worked example using chlorine and then an exercise using copper

simple powerpoint template that can be used to print two A5 sheets of questions and answers. Some are easy and will be revision of KS3, others introduce ideas from Gateway Science C4 comments welcome

A simple worksheet that gives some applications of exothermic and endothermic reactions, written to cover the syllabus and also most exam questions.

Why NMR is used in preference to IR

Simple power point that builds up the bohr model of the atom. Comments welcomed

Thanks to google earth for the satellite images. This shows the area round Vesuvius and allows pupils to discuss why some people live in the shadow of volcanoes.

A powerpoint that can be used as an alternative to a worksheet for the reaction of zinc and sulphuric acid. Using a little copper sulphate solution will speed it up

An A to Z of Science Jobs, useful as a starter or a careers talk

Handy starter printed on two sheets to reduce to A5 on printing. Only you will know that all the answers are true, some look outlandish but they are real.

Active reading sheets get pupils to read the information several times and analyse it in different ways. Pupil read the sheet then re-read it to add titles to paragraphs, then re-read it to find the negatives, then re-read to find the positives, then re-read to find business strategies. A useful way to put across a lot of information without copying and with the knowledge that it will be read. Comments welcomed

A power point that explains double bond structure. It starts wityh bond angles and develops into sigma and pi bonds. Comments welcome.

An active reading worksheet that contains a lot of information. Pupils read it through and then read it again to give titles to paragraphs. Then they have to read it again to sift out various bits of information. Reviews welcome

Shows ozone formation and destruction in the normal stratosphere. Shows role of cfcs in destroying ozone and consequent reduction in UV absorbed Based on GCSE syllabus but includes all Y12 Green Chemistry equations. Comments welcome

A power point to show the alkane family properties both chemical and physical.

Simple introduction and shows how to use the OCR data sheet to analyse a spectrum

Simple, just a worked example based around an old exam question.

This is really simple. A named monomer followed by the named polymer. The structure of both are shown clearly to help with relating the polymer to the monomer and vice versa.

A link from pH work in year 7 though GCSE to A-level

A lot of spectra, collected by functional group. Students can see, for example, the clear 3300-3000cm-1 peak for all alcohols. A useful blank table at the start, complete at the end for peer marking.
