Chemistry
GCSE Chemistry explains the material world. Students study atomic structure and the periodic table, bonding, quantitative chemistry, chemical and energy changes, rates, organic chemistry, analysis, the atmosphere and resources. Mapped to AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
- Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
Chemistry starts with the atom. This topic covers atomic structure, isotopes, and the development and trends of the periodic table.
- Bonding, Structure, and Matter
Bonding explains properties. This topic covers ionic, covalent and metallic bonding and the structures they form.
- Quantitative Chemistry
Chemistry is measured precisely. This topic covers conservation of mass, moles, reacting masses and concentrations.
- Chemical Changes
Reactions transform substances. This topic covers reactivity, acids and bases, neutralisation and electrolysis.
- Energy Changes
Reactions release or absorb energy. This topic covers exothermic and endothermic reactions and reaction profiles.
- The Rate and Extent of Chemical Change
Speed and balance matter. This topic covers rates of reaction, collision theory, catalysts and reversible reactions.
- Organic Chemistry
Carbon builds endless compounds. This topic covers hydrocarbons, crude oil, fractional distillation and polymers.
- Chemical Analysis
Identifying substances is key. This topic covers purity, formulations, chromatography and tests for gases and ions.
- Chemistry of the Atmosphere
Chemistry shapes the climate. This topic covers the evolution of the atmosphere, greenhouse gases and pollution.
- Using Resources
Chemistry sustains modern life. This topic covers using resources sustainably, water treatment and life-cycle assessment.
Learning with Chemistry
Choose an area below to explore its topics and the resources currently available in your view.
- Choose your focus
Start with a topic you are teaching, practising or revisiting. Follow the stage and subject links to change direction.
- Check the resource details
Look at the activity instructions, format and available learning tools. Protected activities check your current account access.
- Use the evidence thoughtfully
A download, submitted attempt and completion are different records. Review the available feedback before choosing what to do next.
A little help getting started
How should I choose a resource?
Use the topic and stage as a starting point, then read the individual resource instructions. Parents and pupils can ask a teacher for help choosing work that fits their current learning.
Why might a resource be unavailable?
The listings follow current resource visibility and account settings. Some activities require sign-in, a membership or another permission. Browse another topic or return to the learning library to explore.
What do the learning records tell me?
The tools and trackers depend on the resource. Opening a document is separate from submitting practice or recording completion, and none alone establishes mastery.
