- A2 Chemistry comprises 17 topic-based presentations to provide comprehensive coverage of the 2009 AQA, Edexcel and OCR A specifications.
- The great wealth of material contained in each presentation enables you to explore and teach A-Level Chemistry in detail.
Well-organised resources for whatever you're teaching
All presentations are coherently structured and enhanced by a wide range of material to help you get the most out of your lessons. Typical slides, like this one introducing the discovery of benzene, combine the main points for teaching, comprehensively conveyed with attention-grabbing artwork and photographs.
- An interactive menu system in A-Level Chemistry makes it easy to select the presentation you want, and also offers quick access to the useful contents guides.
- High-quality diagrams and photographs illustrate key facts and aid overall understanding of the subject.
Time saving and ready-to-teach
Boardworks lessons are fully prepared and contain a wide variety of teaching materials, saving you and your colleagues valuable preparation time. This animation lets you communicate the process by which electrode potentials can be measured to your class: you control the simulation with the click of a button and can pause it at any stage to discuss with your students.
- Support and enhance practical lessons with thought-provoking virtual experiments and animations.
- Simplify complex scientific theories and processes with interactive diagrams and step-by-step simulations designed to be unique and easy to understand.
Inspiringly interactive
Embrace the potential of your whiteboard and engage your class in inspiringly interactive Chemistry lessons. This virtual experiment enables students to understand the process by which the empirical formula of magnesium oxide can be determined. Its flexibility makes it ideal for use either before running the practical in the lab or for revision purposes.
- Explore and explain chemical theories, models and processes using a variety of appealing animations and virtual experiments. They bring processes to life and stimulate students’ interest.
- Over 1 in 3 slides are enriched with interactive content.
A wealth of exciting ideas
Encourage overall understanding of important topics with attention-grabbing resources. This flexible activity enables you to create electron configurations by simply selecting elements from the periodic table. You can then ask your students to calculate the electron configuration of an element before revealing the final answer.
- Wide-ranging content supports the learning objectives in ‘How Science Works’ and creates varied, engaging and inspirational lessons.
- Comprehensive activities aid and enhance learning of the A-Level Chemistry course, whatever syllabus you follow.
Easy-to-use, flexible resources
Boardworks A-Level Chemistry is straightforward to use and can be completely tailored to the needs of your class. This challenging activity allows you to check students’ understanding of Hund’s rule, and their ability to calculate an element’s electron configuration using the ‘electron-in-boxes’ notation. Choose from any of the first 36 elements, and reinforce your students’ knowledge in a fun and interactive way.
- All presentations are created in PowerPoint for ease of use, versatility and editability.
- Presentations can be added to and enhanced with your own ideas and resources.
- Exercises and activities can be adapted as needed, to support your own teaching methods and perfectly fit the abilities of your students.
