Powerpoint which explains how to plot a titration curve, what it shows and which indicator to use. A worksheet is also included.

PowerPoint explaining polarity (dipoles) and electronegativity. Compliments OCR A syllabus but would probably go with others too.

A quiz in the format of an i-phone app. Pupils look at the 4 pictures and decide what the key word is using the letters at the bottom. All the words are linked to the Chemistry GCSE making this a useful revision aid. To those asking how you make your own, I used screen shots of the game (from Google) and copied and pasted my own images over the top. I then cut and pasted the correct letters from different screen shots to make sure the right letters were available. It was very time consuming but the pupils loved it so it was worth it.

This lesson covers the causes and problems of pollution, including: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulates, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Included with this resource: A powerpoint which explains the key concepts Two practical activities (be sure to carry out your own risk assessment) Activities to test understanding A worksheet. You will need access to molymods. A current GCSE textbook would also be useful but not essential.

36 revision questions spanning 6 pages to recap the whole of the benzene topic including structure, naming compounds, equations, reaction conditions and reaction mechanisms. Resource include a worksheet in both PDF and Word format as well as full answers.

An introductory lesson for ionic bonding. Includes animations to show how ions form and how to write ionic formulae. Lots of examples and practice questions for the class. A simple and effective way to introduce a difficult topic. Created for GCSE but I have used it as a starting point for teaching A Level as well because they forget everything they have learnt at GCSE!

A two hour lesson covering practical skills for organic synthesis and synthetic routes in organic synthesis. Diagrams, activities and questions included. Individual whiteboards for the pupils would be useful but if you don't have them, scrap paper would be fine. Designed for use with the new OCR AS level and compliments the Pearsons textbook. Check out my other organic resources.

Resource Includes: 1 hour of teaching A powerpoint covering how the carbon chain can be extended and the reactions of nitriles Questions and answers Lots of diagrams Please see my other A Level Chemistry resources. Follow me on Twitter for lots of ideas: @Teach_Chem602

A fun way to practice oxidation numbers. Pupils move forwards or backwards on the board, depending on whether the oxidation number is positive or negative. My class really enjoyed this.

1 hour lesson about acyl chlorides. Includes series of questions to help pupils work out the relevant equations, links to YouTube videos and a whiteboard quiz to recap knowledge. Check out my other A Level resources. Follow me on Twitter: @Teach_Chem602

Created for AQA GCSE C3, this resource will also be relevant to other specifications as well as AS Chemistry. The lesson takes pupils through step by step instructions for naming and drawing esters and provides questions for pupils to try as well as suggested follow-up activities.

This engaging game was a hit with my class. You can use this game to teach about the reasons and consequences for deforestation. The class are given the following scenario: “You form the government of a small country that contains a large rainforest. Due to years of war and instability, the country is not popular with tourists. With very few other industries, the country is running out of money. All that you have is forest so you will need to decide whether to sell a portion. Whenever you sell forest, cross off the squares you have sold on your forest board using a marker pen. You have been borrowing money from other countries and have a debt of £2 000 000 which needs to be paid by the end of the game.” They will then work in small groups to make as much money as possible from their rainforest. There will be consequences for their team depending on how much rainforest they choose to sell. They will learn about the reasons behind deforestation and the problems it creates. Follow up questions are included.

This comprehensive resource contains five 1 hour lessons, animations to clearly explain electrolysis, work sheets, , experiment suggestions, questions, activities and revision resources. All of the answers are included so this would be suitable for a non-specialist. Please see notes at the bottom of powerpoint slides for extra information, links to other resources and image credits. I welcome feedback. Content covered includes: -What electrolysis is and why we do it (including a recap of ionic bonding) -Electrolysis of ionic compounds when melted and when in solution -How to work out what is produced at each electrode -Half equations -Oxidation and reduction -Electrolysis of aluminium oxide -Electrolysis of sodium chloride solution -Electroplating Created for AQA specification but could easily be adapted to other exam boards.

Complete lesson with two alternative starter activities (depending on the ability of your class), a practical, lots of activities, videos, homework suggestion and an AfL task at the end. Extra information (including image credits) is included in the notes section under the slides. I am currently making a complete scheme of work for the new chemistry spec so please keep checking back.

Pupils will learn what a simple covalent compound is and how to draw them. Includes suggested practical which can lead into talking about the properties of simple molecules. It is important that you carry out your own risk assessment before doing any practical activities. A competitive game is included, as well as a homework sheet which will allow them to practice the main compounds that they need to know.

Suitable for assessment for learning, an end of module test or for revision. After looking at the specimen and practice exam papers for the new OCR Specification, I noticed that the calculation questions have become more challenging than the old spec. I have written 18 questions and based them on a similar format to the new style of question (and included several ideal gas equation questions). I have included a markscheme which shows clearly how each answer is calculated, and suggested how many marks each question should be worth (the total number or marks for the questions is 126) but you can edit this as you see fit. I have checked the questions and answers several times (and tested them on my pupils) to make sure they are correct but if you notice any errors please let me know. Please also leave feedback if you find this resource helpful.

A complete lesson for introducing orders, the rate equation and rate constants. Includes questions and detailed answers, explaining exactly how to work out each question. I am in the process of creating a SOW for module 5 of the new OCR A Level so check back soon for more lessons.

Engaging board game which allows pupils to explore the causes, consequences and solutions of climate change. The aim of the game is to NOT reach the finish line as this is when global disaster occurs. At the end of the game (or during if you prefer), they will fill in a sheet summarising what they have learnt about climate change. This resource includes: Teacher rules Powerpoint of rules/aims of game to share with the class Colour game board Black and white game board 48 game cards Worksheet.
