Science Teacher and Marathon Runner! I graduated top of my class from the University of Limerick (BSc with concurrent teacher education) in 2015 and having taught in the Irish and UK system I have a in depth appreciation for curriculum. I currently teach Biology and Chemistry at A-Level and GCSE science in London. I am passionate about science and thoroughly enjoy creating resources, please feel free to review my resources.

Reaction Profiles and Activation Energy

(0)
A series of slides and activities that gets students to think about the change of energy in a reaction, practise drawing reaction profiles, calculating the difference in energy between reactants and products. The use of cataysts and their effect on activation energy is also elicited here. Associated worksheets are included. This resource is geared towards AQA combined science and GCSE chemistry but can be easily adapted.
