A lesson on homologous series for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. The lesson covers what a homologous series is, what a general formula is and what it would be for compounds in a homologous series and how homologous compounds compare in terms of chemical and physical properties. This lesson is designed for combined science and does not cover topics from the separate science portion of the specification.

A lesson on what is a catalyst, how they speed up reactions and what an enzyme does (brief just includes what students need for the chemistry spec). Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification. Includes a practical that students can carry out.

This lesson covers electrolysis of aqueous solutions - predicting the products and writing balanced half-equations. It includes a cart sort in which students match the salt, its ions and the products. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 combined science spec.

A introduction to electrolysis lesson covering key words (e.g. anode, cathode, oxidation, reduction, electrolyte, etc), how to predict the product of electrolysis of a molten salt and how the ions move during electrolysis. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 Combined Science spec.

A lesson on cracking designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. The lesson covers what cracking is, why cracking is needed and the products of cracking. There are exam questions on the slides for students to complete. This presentation is for the combined science course and does not include detail from the separate sciences specification.

A lesson covering the causes of acid rain, the problems caused by acid rain and the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen fuel cells compared to petrol in cars. Slides with exam questions for the new spec are included. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 combined science course --the triple only content on fuel cells is not included.

A collection of 13 starters for the Edexcel 9-1 specification on all of the separate chemistry 2 topics (alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, polymers, materials, ion tests and nanoparticles). Each starter contains a bronze/silver/gold set of questions. The next slide contains the answers.

A lesson on the different forms of carbon - diamond, graphite, graphene and buckminster fullerene. Slides could be used to present lesson at the front or used as factsheets to allow students to design a poster on the different forms of carbon. Includes concise slides on each form of carbon, exam questions and links to videos. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification.

A lesson covering what a lattice structure is, the difference between -ate and -ide and how to write the formula of a salt. Designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec.

A lesson covering the properties of ionic compounds designed for the Edexcel 9-1 spec. Includes the properties of ionic compounds, gap fills (on the Power Point) on explanations of the properties, exam questions on slides and a practical (students investigate the conductivity of salt solutions).

A lesson that covers the reactions and reactivity of Gropup 2 metals with oxygen, water and acid and it explains the reactivity trends down the group. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A lesson that covers ions. It goes through how to predict the charge of an ion using the periodic table, formulae for common ions to learn, -ate v -ide and how to write the formulae of an ionic compound. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A lesson that covers atomic structure. It goes through protons, neutrons and electrons; what an isotope is and how to work out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom and ion. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A lesson that covers relative atomic mass. The lesson goes through the definition of relative isotopic mass, how to calculate relative atomic mass from data and the use of mass spec to find atomic masses. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A Power Point lesson on Electronic Configuration for the GCSE Edexcel 9-1 spec. Covers the rules for placing electrons into shells and how electronic configuration links to the periodic table.

A lesson on bond enthalpy designed for OCR A level chemistry specification. The lesson covers what an average bond enthalpy is, the link between bond making and bond breaking and endo and exothermic, and how to calculate an energy change from bond energies. Exam questions and answers are provided on the slides.

A PowerPoint covering States of Matter for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE spec. Includes links to a video, exam questions and information slides.

A lesson on the models of the atom. It compares the plum pludding v the nuclear model, explains how most of an atom is empty space and discusses the contributions Bohr made. It includes links to videos on the history and a timeline for students to fill in. Designed to the AQA 9-1 GCSE chemistry specification.

A lesson on using the periodic table. It covers the locations of metals and non-metals, groups and periods and links the periodic table to electronic configuration. Questions and answers are on the slides – only need to print a periodic table for the students to use. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE chemistry specification.

A lesson on Group 1 - The Alkali Metals. It covers the physical properties of the alkali metals, their reaction with water ( can be done as a demo or by showing a video) and an explanation of the trend in reactivity down the group. Questions and answers are on the slides – no printing required. Designed for the AQA 9-1 GCSE chemistry specification.
