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.
A lesson on Grignard reactions consisting of a PowerPoint and a worksheet. Suitable for all A-level exam boards. covers the 3 steps in the Grignard reaction and includes information on how to get the reaction started, solvent, conditions and relevant equations. The editable worksheet comes with answers.

9 knowledge organisers for the new GCSE (2016) AQA Syllabus. Covering topics chemical changes, structure and bonding, chemical calculations, chromatography, chemical analysis, organic chemistry (crude oil, hydrocarbons, alcohols, carboxylic acids, polymers) and reactivity series/extraction of metals.
An Organic Chemistry activity on the apparatus used in Organic experiments. Includes diagrams of apparatus including reflux, distillation, steam distillation, separating funnel, buchner filtration (under reduced pressure), drying and a thiele melting point tube. Students have to add the correct labels to the apparatus. Answers are included to all diagrams.
A bundle of three resources on shapes of molecules. theres a set of cue cards, an information sheet on how to calculate electron pair repulsion theory and then a worksheet requiring students to input information on number of lone pairs, bond pairs, bond angles and shape. Suitable for the new 2015 A-Level exams.
An A-Level chemistry worksheet on shapes of molecules (electron pair repulsion theory). Students have to complete the number of bond pairs/lone pairs, bond angle and shape for each molecule.
A set of 128 printable flash cards suitable for the AQA A-Level Chemistry topic of Organic chemistry. Questions cover theory on the naming, sketching of displayed, structural and skeletal formulae, fractional distillation, cracking, reforming, oxidation, combustion, hydrogenation, electrophilic addition, inductive effect, polymerisation etc. Covers all the informtion they need to know about introductory chemistry on the alkanes and alkenes including the mechanisms of free radical substitution and electrophilic additon (markovnikov). In PowerPoint format, the cue cards print out in the correct format. Once printed, all it takes 1 minute to slice the cards and prepare a set, is formatted so the answers will show on the reverse of the question card.
A worksheet on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Contains questions on the apparatus used, oxidation & reduction, ionic equations, electrolysis of lead bromide, aluminium oxide and aqueous solutions. Answers are included.
A bundle of three resources for A-Level Chemistry. Suitable for all Exam boards. Two of the resources are on titration calculations, the third is a hexagon activity. Students complete titration calculations on determining volume, concentration, Mr of a compound, percentage purity, formula of a compound (working out the value of n in Na2CO3.nH20), redox titrations etc. Answers are included for all the calculations.
5 Phonics snakes and ladders activities based on CVC and CVCC words, the children have to pronounce each letter/word on the square that they land on. Suitable for children starting at primary school. Each game board increases in difficulty starting with the basics then progressing through CVC and then CVCC.
A AQA GCSE knowledge organiser on the topic Chemical analysis. Includes information on pure substances, formulations, chromatography, testing for gases, positive and negative ions and flame emission spectroscopy. Suitable for the new 2016 syllabus.
A bundle of 4 resources suitable for the new AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus. Resources on paper chromatography include a knowledge organiser containing all the facts on chromatography that students need to know, a differentiated 1-9 worksheet featuring exam style questions and a plenary chromatography traffic light quiz (useful for assessment for learning at the end of the lesson) and finally a cut and stick activity.
A bundle of resources on KS5 Chemistry transition metals. The bundles includes activities & games designed to help students revise naming, colours and reactions of the first row transition metals. Theres flash cards, match cards, a revision board game with questions, Ecell information sheet etc.
3 resources on Rusting and corrosion suitable for KS5 lessons on the electrochemical series. PowerPoint explains how rusting occurs and shows students how to calculate Ecell for the overall rusting process. Then there's a worksheet (with answers) and a keyword match exercise.
