Start with the summary document for key ideas and how GCSE content will be used at A level

You could use the following videos: redox reactions, exo-endothermic reactions, bond energy calculations, rates of reaction, equilibria

Here are some practice tasks for you to tackle; don't complete all and don't worry if some are quite challenging, we will go over key ideas again in September: balancing equations (ANS), energy changes (ANS), bond energy calculations (ANS), tricky redox reactions (ANS)
