Electrolysis of solutions activity

(0)
KS4 Resource on electrolysis Instructions: There are 16 boxes of questions. Print off in various colours and then cut out so they are in stacks stapled Q1 – 16. Each team is allocated a different colour. They rip a question off at the front of the class and take it back to their team to answer it. They then bring it back to teacher at front who marks it. If correct they can move onto the next Q. If incorrect they return to their group and re-attempt. First team to complete all Qs wins.

A GCSE Chemistry revision resource on Quantitative chemistry (moles) which contains questions on the new AQA Quantitative chemistry chapter (Separate Science). The resource includes revision on one of every type of calculation they have to know to prepare for the new GCSE 2018 exams. The resource includes 16 sections (3 pages) of calculations on determining relative formula mass, moles, reacting masses, limiting reactants, percentage yield, atom economy, concentration, titrations and volume of gases. The resource contains answers for every question. Takes about 2 hours for the students to complete.
Infrared spectra (AQA 2015)
polarity24polarity24

Infrared spectra (AQA 2015)

(0)
An A-Level chemistry knowledge organiser on Infrared spectra. Contains everything the students need to know about Infrared for the new AQA 2015 syllabus including: Examples of spectra for OH, C=O, COOH, C=C, C-H, N-H functional groups. Also includes a data table of absorptions and information on the types of stretches (asymmetric, bending etc). Information about how molecules bonds vibrate is also included.
Thermal decomposition of carbonates and nitrates (group 1 and 2)
polarity24polarity24

Thermal decomposition of carbonates and nitrates (group 1 and 2)

(0)
Eight resources on the thermal decomposition of the group 1 and 2 nitrates and carbonates. The first resource is a differentiated worksheet with the questions designed around the style of AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam papers and test students on every aspect of the topic including the reactions, observations, trends, theory of charge density/polarisation and finishes with a few questions on how we measure it experimentally. I looked at exam papers from all three exam boards when designing this resource so that it provides comprehensive coverage for my students. Answers are included. There is also a resource which goes through the qualitative observations associated with thermal decomposition of the carbonates and nitrates (what’s observed e.g limewater goes cloudy, brown gas of Nitrogen dioxide etc). I have also included a spider diagram of the reactions/observations and Power Points which explain the science behind it. There is then a hexagon activity and a challenge grid, both designed at stretching & challenging the students.

AQA GCSE Chemistry paper 2 structure strips

7 Resources
A set of revision structure strips on the new AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus for paper 2. The structure strips fit into the margins of an exercise book and students write the answer to each question in the lines beside. 120 questions covers topics Rates and equilibrium, Crude oil and fuels, chemical analysis, The Earth’s atmosphere and The Earth’s resources. Answers to every question provided.
