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

4 PowerPoint slides that can be printed out for pupils to fill in. Summarises the whole of the Transition Element module in A2 OCR A Chemistry. Please leave feedback if you use this.

Pupils cut out the 16 squares and sort into 4 piles - acids, bases, salts and water. They then use these to form neutralisation equations. These can then be stuck in books with + signs and arrows added to form correct word equations. Good for helping pupils to understand how to name salts.

This resource includes: A powerpoint At least 2 hours of teaching Lots of diagrams Questions and answers You will need molymods for one of the activities. The powerpoint includes lots of questions and answers, however I recommend printing some exam questions from the OCR legacy papers as homework. For copy write reasons, I cannot include exam questions with the resource.

Complete 1 hour lesson to cover optical isomers, chiral carbons, polarised light, racemic mix and 3D drawings. The lesson includes a flipped learning worksheet that can be given to pupils for homework the previous lesson. If you do not use this, it is not a problem as the powerpoint covers everything. The homework could also be done after the lesson to recap. The powerpoint explains chirality with examples, questions and a video. The lesson finishes with a loop game.

I have created a poster summarising all the key reactions that pupils need to know for aromatic organic synthesis. I recommend printing on A3. I have also included extra posters with parts removed - one has the names removed, another the conditions and another the display formulae. Pupils try to fill them in from memory. You could then set them the challenge of drawing the whole thing from memory. Finally there are 4 synthesis routes for pupils to plans (answer are in the notes). I recommend following this up with exam questions (for copyright reasons I cannot include these). An aliphatic synthesis lesson is also available to buy.

Lesson includes a powerpoint, worksheet, questions and suggestions for practicals. It is important that you do your own risk assessment before carrying out any practicals.

A clear and easy way for pupils to learn about bond enthalpies. Before teaching this lesson you need to have covered exothermic and endothermic reactions as well as calorimetry. The lesson includes a loop game starter to recap prior knowledge, explanation with animation, examples and questions for calculating bond enthalpies. Although created for GCSE, it would be a suitable introduction for AS students as well. You will need molymods and board pens. Calculators optional.

Created for a weekly interform quiz that I organise which is very popular with the pupils. Wide range of topics included including famous people, flags, London, cars, food, airlines, numbers, sport, washing symbols, bones and much more. Each quiz has 10 questions with answers included. Picture credits are given in the note section below each slide.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Complete lesson plan with powerpoint, games and worksheets to introduce standard enthalpy of neutralisation, formation, reaction, neutralisation and combustion. Suitable for new AS OCR A Chemistry spec.
