A knowledge organiser on inorganic qualitiative tests including cation flame tests, tests for the magnesium and ammonium cations, the sulfate and carbonate anions, halides tests (silver nitrate, displacement and reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid.) The knowledge organiser also includes relevant ionic equations where applicable.
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on groups 2 and 7 of the periodic table. Includes information on electronegativity, melting and boiling points, trends in oxidising ability, displacement reactions, reactions of halide ions, uses of chlorine etc. Also contains information from group 2 on physical and chemical properties, reactions, solubilities of sulfates and hydroxides, ionisiation energies etc. Relevant for the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry syllabus.
A Knowledge organiser on the AQA GCSE topic Paper chromatography. Contains all the information they need to know on the method, apparatus, mobile/stationary phases, calculating Rf values etc. includes examples of chromatograms. The resource is editable and can be printed out on A3 paper for the students to revise from. Suitable for the new 2018 GCSE.
Power Point on the acid base equilibria concept of Enthalpy of neutralisation. Compares the enthalpy of neutralisation of acids as per the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry Edexcel syllabus.
7 resources bundle on the Energetics topics Born Haber cycles, enthalpy of neutralisation, Gibbs free energy calculations, entropy of system and total entropy calculations, Hess Law and a knowledge organiser on entropy.
A KS4/5 Chemistry worksheet with a formulae grid, gives students practice on writing inorganic formula on molecules such as sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate etc. Answers included.
An A-Level Chemistry resource on calculating Kp (gaseous equilibria.) Requires students to calculate Kp using mole fractions and partial pressure. Answers are included. Starts with questions on the basics, calculating mole fraction and partial pressure. Then the questions increase in difficulty to exam standard Kp questions. The editable resource takes about a double lesson for students to complete and gives an example of every type of exam question that can come up on Kp.
A bundle of 3 resources used to teach students how to draw Hess Law cycles. One of the resources is aimed at lower ability students showing them how to perform the calculation without having to draw the cycle.
A bundle of resources on the atmosphere. A rank the definition activity encourages class discussion on how to define the atmosphere. Also included, a group relay activity where students in their groups have to answer questions on how the Earth's atmosphere has changed from the past till present. Students answer each question in turn and can only have a go at the next question once the teacher has confirmed their answer is correct. The group quickest to complete the questions are the winners. Students love these relay activities, it encourages competition and team work and typically takes 10 mins to complete.
A comprehensive mind map on organic synthesis which students can use to revise the theory Students can use the resource to produce routes for organic synthesis required in A-Level Chemistry exams.
A challenging activity on the A-Level chemistry topic group 2 metals. Students have to link the keywords about group 2 in the hexagons together. Helps students make connections between the reactions, ionisation energy and reactivity. It is challenging and really gets students thinking about how the chemistry connects together. Takes about 20 mins to complete and answers are included. Is an excellent activity as it really challenges students knowledge of group 2.
Structure strips for the AQA GCSE Chemistry topic “Electrolysis”. Structure strips go into the margin of an exercise book and students write in their answers beside each question. This is one of a series of structure strips that I have made for the new 2017 GCSE specification. There are 30 questions in this set and answers are included.
Structure strips for the AQA GCSE Chemistry topic “Chemical of the atmosphere”. Structure strips go into the margin of an exercise book and students write in their answers beside each question. This is one of a series of structure strips that I have made for the new 2016 GCSE specification. There are 25 questions within the structure strips and answers are included.
Structure strips for the AQA GCSE Chemistry topic “Crude oil and fuels”. Structure strips go into the margin of an exercise book and students write in their answers beside each question. This is one of a series of structure strips that I have made for the new 2016 GCSE specification. There are 28 questions within the structure strips and answers are included.
A traffic lights quiz on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Can be used as a plenary to test students knowledge. Includes questions on electrolysis, electrolytes, anode, cathode, oxidation, reduction and ionic equations. Suitable for the new 2018 GCSE specifications. Answers are included.
An A-Level Chemistry resource illustrating the reactions of the transition metals as spider diagrams (with ligands like hydroxide ions, ammonia, chloride ions etc). The first resource is spider diagrams which students have to fill in (in word format and prints out automatically in A3 from your computer). To accompany the feedback of answers, an animated Power Point is also included allowing the teacher to go through the answers in more depth, with each answer fading into view on a mouse click. Includes reactions of Copper(II), Chromium(III), Iron(II) and (III) and cobalt(II). The resource is editable and answers are included to every spider diagram in Power Point format.
A resource on the A-Level Chemistry concept shapes of molecules (electron pair repulsion theory). Is an information sheet which helps students work out the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs in a molecule and hence determine its shape. Includes a table of the bond pairs, lone pairs, shape, bond angle and examples.
An A-Level Chemistry resource on the reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and halogenoalkanes. Students have to complete the tables using their knowledge of reactions, conditions and reaction type. Suitable for the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry syllabuses. Answers are included.
