A little bit of ‘learning without working’ activity for the end of term, in black and white for easy cheap photocopying. Suitable for all abilities, but earlier years may need to look some clues up. The answers are included.

A worksheet for writing formulae of ionic compounds. Some explanation on the front, and plenty of examples to do on the back. The knowledge of the structure of ions is crucial to success in chemistry. In black and white for easy photocopying.

A simple wordsearch on a single page. To save you time.

Introduction on the front, eleven questions on naming esters on the back. All in black and white for photocopying cheaply. To save you some time. Useful for GCSE, but could be used at A level.

Every little bit helps.

For AQA GCSE Chemistry.

I have tried to produce a clear example of an acid/base titration for use on the board or as a handout. I used colour to make it as clear as possible.

Quick and short presentation on how to balance the manganate (vii) half equation, to save you time. I have now added the oxidation of ethanol by acidified potassium dichromate (VI) as another example.

Word searches help concentrate on scientific literacy and aid concentration. they are good summary activities and for revision. I have tried to make this attractive and efficacious in that it uses only one side of A4. A solution is provided.

To save, and give you time.

This is a simple worksheet about writing word equations for neutralisation reactions. It covers 2 pages. There are plenty of examples, which get harder as you go on. There is an accompanying powerpoint, as an additional download… NB I am well aware that exam boards, RSC and text books regard acid plus metal to be a redox reaction, which of course it is. However, in such a reaction, the pH increases to neutral and the acid has gone, so I think it can properly be regarded as neutralization of an acid. And since this worksheet is really about naming salts, I had to include it.

Readily photocopiable worksheet on displacement reactions and the reactivity series.

A presentation to augment my displacement reactions and the reactivity series worksheet, with answers to problems.

Animate your lessons. Simple, hopefully clear animation of catalytic hydrogenation of ethene.

I made a very simple ‘fill in the gaps’ worksheet. It may be useful because it focuses on the adjectival and noun words in this topic.

A diagram to be labelled.
