A simple walk through coupling with a few simple examples

The same start as the copper powerpoint about the pitfalls of metal extraction. The difference is the animaton of the purification of copper that shows what happens at each electrode and also electroplating. Comments welcome.

Multiple choice quiz with answers that give an anagram of rutherford. The stems have strange lettering to achieve this so watch out, pupils find it difficult to get their heads round a. b. c. d. m. n. o. p.!

Students write formulae from names and calculate relative molecular masses from formulae. A simple two sided sheet that covers all the formulae and masses needed in the Y10 OCR course but will be useful for other boards. comments welcome.

A fact-packed powerpoint that starts with the newly formed Earth and its volcanic emission and finishes with the modern atmosphere. Comments welcome

A powerpoint that shows how to calculate %Composition and sets it in the context of fertilisers

This is a three slide powerpoint. Print out the first two and you have a cut and paste activity. I added the third slide so that pupils could self mark the activity. It saves a lot of writing about intercourse which some pupils in year seven find difficult to do. Comments and feedback welcome

PowerPoint that goes through the Haber process, conditions and position of the equilibrium. Then applies these rules to the contact process. Comments welcome

A simple table of common ions that pupils can reference when working out formulae. Old fashioned but great for those stretching and challenging formulae questions

Four clear powerpoint slides that show crystallinity in HDPE, random chains in LDPE, thermosetting polymers and thermosoftening polymers. I go through it using the IWB but print out the slides, two on a paged,backed, without the diagrams, to give pupils the opportunity to draw out the different structures.

A powerpoint that shows the triester structure of fats and then looks at the different types of fatty acids. Comments welcome

A powerpoint that goes through the auf-bau process and shows the limitations of the GCSE model. It also helps students to visualise how the AS spdf orbital model can be drawn out of the Bohr model.

There is a work book and an answer sheet in the resource. Pupils can be guided through the work book although more able pupils will be able to use it as an independent study booklet. I have included answers as colleagues found them helpful. Reviews and constructive criticism welcome

This presentation animates the nucleophilic addition of CN- to carbonyls and shows the mark scheme from an exam paper.

I made this presentation from the mark schemes of exam papers. It includes the examiners comments and notes. AQA are quite picky about getting the mechanisms just right so I went to the source, the examiners and not the texts.
