The resource includes: Information sheet (Transition metals) Information sheet (Transition metal ion colours) Worksheet (Transition metals) Answer sheet (Transition metals)

I use this annotated AQA GCSE Periodic Table for my Y10 and Y11 students. There is a large space on the periodic table where students can put their name so they don’t lose it. I usually laminate the resource with the student’s name printed on it. The students have it as a reference for the entire GCSE course. Early on in the GCSE Chemistry course I allow students to use the annotated copy during assessments. Later in the course I make sure students are using the unannotated copy provided by AQA. Please remember this is an annotated copy of the AQA GCSE Chemistry periodic table, it is not the same as what students are allowed to use during exams.

I use this nanoparticles resource as a support sheet when students are researching nanoscience. Usually I would let the students use computers to research about nanoparticles and nanotechnology, sometimes students need a helping hand so I have the information sheet ready.

This is an essential resource for students learning about ionic bonding or electrolysis. The common ions resource can be used as a reference by students when they are trying to determine the formula of an ionic compound. I use this resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. I give the common ions sheet to students and ask them to keep it at the front of their folders so that they can refer to it when needed. I also use it as a support sheet with my A Level Chemistry class too.
