I'm a science teacher at a secondary school. I love making resources. I put a lot of time into them, so like that as many people as possible find them useful. Please rate anything you find useful. Contact me with any questions.

OCR Chemistry A 2nd Year Testbank for the 2015 Spec A-Level

(31)
This is a searchable bank of exam questions matched to points for the 2nd year of the new OCR A Chemistry A level specification (2015 onwards). Use the specification points document to find the relevant code for the learning objective you want, then use the find feature in the PowerPoint document to search for matching exam questions and answers.

Titration investigation-Power station emissions

(0)
The aim of this experiment is to use results of a titration to perform a calculation linked to a real life example of measuring sulphur dioxide emissions from a power station. The scenario is that students are given a solution of sulfuric acid produced when waste gas from a power station is bubbled through hydrogen peroxide. They perform a titration the sulfuric acid against a known solution of sodium carbonate then use the results to calculate the mass of sulfur dioxide in the waste gas. Included in the PowerPoint is an introduction to the experiment, teachers notes, results table, instructions for students, advice on performing titrations and how to do the calculations. Depending on the group, different levels of support can be given.

Understanding atomic spectra - card sort

(0)
These are slides which can be printed and given to the students as cards for a 10 minute card sort activity to support a lesson on atomic spectra. It helps them understand atomic emission and absorption spectra in terms of adsorption and emission of photons by the electrons in an atom. Included is a pdf with 4 cards on each page and the original PowerPoint from which they were made.

Word and symbol equations - carousel of 6 experiments

(1)
This is a worksheet which supports a carousel of 6 experiments where students add reagents in test-tubes and make observations. They then use scaffolding on the sheet this to build word and symbol equations. They are then challenged to balance the equations and add state symbols. This is intended as a 20-30 minute activity to help students develop skills in creating equations based on reactions.
Displacement reactions (Experiment worksheet)
WonderCalibanWonderCaliban

Displacement reactions (Experiment worksheet)

(0)
A worksheet for a practical chemistry experiment where students investigate displacement reactions. Using a spotting tile, students react combinations of metals and salt solutions, then idntify which ones have reacted. They then compare their results to the reactivity series and try to write word equations for what the have seen.

Electricity generation-card sort

(0)
This card sort activity allows students to create a flow diagram explaining the processes in different types of electricity generation. They can also describe the energy transfers that take place. They can build flow diagrams for coal, oil, gas, nuclear, tidal, wave, geothermal, wind & solar energy.
