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.

A powerpoint to teach metallic bonding and structure to Year 12. It takes the form of a series of questions for pupils to attempt to answer from their GCSE knowledge before the answers are revealed. Goes well with my metal bingo starter. Please leave feedback.

Powerpoint to explain cracking with activities. I demonstrated the cracking of paraffin. You need molymods for the pupils to act out cracking. I did this as a starter - http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/4-Pics-1-Word-C1a-6370544/

This relates to Module 3 of OCR A Level syllabus. Pupils try to match the questions to the correct answer to revise the topic.

1 hour lesson about sewage treatment for the new AQA Chemistry Trilogy GCSE. Resource includes: Starter activity Links to relevant videos Quiz Flowchart to fill in Questions (with answers) Worksheets In addition to these resources you will need a current AQA textbook to complete the flowchart. A game is available to complement this lesson.

Complete resource for teaching aluminium. Includes worksheets, activities and animations to clearly explain the process of electrolysis. Originally made for OCR, I have since used it for AQA. Please leave feedback. You can buy a complete scheme of work for electrolysis, which includes electrolysis of aluminium, here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/complete-electrolysis-scheme-of-work-for-gcse-11258103

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

Match the adaptation of a leaf to how it aids photosynthesis. Perfect for AQA B3 but could also be used with AQA B2, an able KS3 class and other specifications that cover photosynthesis. Buy as part of a bundle of games and activities here for only £5: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/bargain-bundle-of-biology-games-and-activities-for-ks4-aqa-b1-b2-b3-spice-up-your-lesson-11210447

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.

This lesson presumes prior knowledge of electrophilic substitution. Pupils try to work out the mechanisms involved in the reaction. Includes diagrams and questions.

Cluedo-style game in which pupils try to identify the name of their neighbour's ionic compound using the results of chemical tests. My Year 13s found this game very engaging and did not want to stop playing! The resource also includes a summary of all the ions tests that they need to know, a blank copy of the summary for pupils to complete from memory and a card sort. Can be used for both AS and A2.

Resource includes a powerpoint which covers: Alpha amino acids Zwitterions Isoelectric point Acid and alkaline conditions Example questions and answers The lesson encourages pupils to think for themselves. There are hints included to help the students which can be removed for a more able class.

2 hour lesson which covers naming primary, secondary and tertiary amines, amines as bases, preparation of aliphatic amines and preparation of aromatic amines. Lots of questions and answers included in the powerpoint. Tried and tested with A Level classes.

A 1 hour lesson which uses a series of group-work tasks to help pupils understand how life cycle assessments are carried out. The tasks guide pupils to work out that life cycle assessments are not objective and that it is difficult to assign numerical figures to them.

Very engaging lesson, includes game, practical, assessment and differentiated tasks. I was observed teaching this lesson for AQA C3 a couple of years ago and was graded outstanding. The lesson takes 2 hours so you can split it at a point that you feel appropriate (our school does 2 hour lessons as standard). All explanations for activities can be found in the notes underneath the slide, along with picture and video credits. I am working on a full SOW for the new AQA spec so check back soon. Please leave feedback. Complete chapter 4.1 can be found here for only £5: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/complete-sow-for-new-aqa-chemistry-syllabus-chapter-4-1-atomic-structure-and-the-periodic-table-11296756

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.

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 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.

Complete lesson including starter activity to recap nomenclature, instructions on how to draw and name isomers and questions.
