A PowerPoint with information and questions to assess learning at various stages of the lesson.
Exercises and exam questions have been included and should be used on the appropriate slides.
Finally, I have included the full laboratory order sheet for the silver mirror experiment using Tollen's reagent so that you don't have to write one.
Please also leave a rating if you have found it useful.
This is an extensive (130 slide) PowerPoint that covers the entire A-Level Chemistry Thermodynamics chapter. It is not just a PowerPoint packed with information, it contains a wide variety of short activities, jokes and detailed explanations to some of the most difficult questions in thermodynamics.
The resources cover the following subtopics:
Enthalpy changes (using Hess’s Law)
Definitions of key thermodynamic terms such as L.E formation
Step by step guide on how to construct a Born-Haber cycle using worked examples. The students then practice these new skills by applying them to Born-Haber cycle exam questions.
Enthalpy changes when ionic substances dissolve in water and an explanation of how these values affect solubility.
Entropy and Gibbs free energy equation with plenty of exam questions and short tasks to go with it.
The exercises are from alevelchemistry.co.uk so I am not selling them but I have included it in here to save time.
Finally, I have included an end of chapter test which you can use to assess your students.
I've made this resource as I had an observed lesson on it. I have put a lot of effort into it and all the tasks match the PowerPoint slides. Lesson plan is also included.
There is a short differentiated literacy task
The PowerPoint slide has been designed to simplify flame emission spectroscopy for GCSE standards I have included simple animations and progress check questions.
There's one bit of humor in there and i'm sure your students will like it :)
If you add the practical, it should take two periods. The section on flame emission spectroscopy will take one period on slightly more.
GCSE Physics - Momentum calculations.
The resource includes the following:
1) Full lesson PowerPoint that is easy to follow
2) Teacher led worked example on how to calculate momentum in collisions
3) Students apply this to 4 questions on collision (answers included)
4) Teacher led worked example on how to calculate momentum for explosions
5) Students apply this to 4 questions on explosion (answers included)
6) Exam questions
Finally, there’s a link to a video I created specifically for this lesson and I recommend you watch it if you're not a specialist teacher.
Resource includes (double lesson)
This is a practical lesson
PowerPoint which gently introduces the idea of Hooke’s law with a few examples. Students practice using F = k x e equation and the elastic potential energy equation.
Results table including a mock results in case students fail to get reasonable values
Exam questions on Hooke’s law
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqdKz1yg1bk&t=112s (I created a video for this topic)
Full PowerPoint with modelled teacher example.
Students then apply this to two simple examples
Finally students apply this to 2 exam style empirical formula questions.
One side is full information (pictures from Nelson and Thornes Chemistry book) and the other side has 6 questions relating the information page.
Students read the information page and then answer the questions on the second page.
This will take about 10-20 minutes (depending on your class).
Answers are included.
