- Level: Higher Tier
- Total Duration: 5 Hours
- Course Fee: £60 only (£12/hr)
- Schedule: February Half-Term
- Dates: Mon 16 Feb – Fri 20 Feb 2026
- Mode: Online Live Interactive Sessions
Hour 1: Rates of Reaction (Higher Tier High Frequency)
Consistently tested Paper 2 staple.
Core Knowledge
- Rate definition
- Collision theory
- Factors: Temperature, concentration, surface area, catalysts
Required Practical: Gas volume/mass loss.
AQA Exam Focus: Collision explanations; rate graphs; variables.
Practice: Temperature-rate; graph comparisons; practical Qs.
⚠️ Common Mistake: “Particles move faster” without collisions.
Hour 2: Energy Changes (Higher Level Easy Marks)
Structured explanations = reliable Higher marks.
Core Topics
- Exothermic/endothermic
- Energy profile diagrams
- Activation energy
- Catalyst effects
Required Practical: Temperature change.
Practice: Label profiles; bond breaking; calculate
ΔT
ΔT.
🧠 Tip: Link to surroundings (Higher Tier precision).
Hour 3: Reversible Reactions & Equilibrium (Higher Tier Goldmine)
Master 6-mark predictions.
Core Knowledge
- Reversible reactions
- Dynamic equilibrium
- Le Chatelier’s: Temperature, pressure, concentration
AQA Exam Focus: Shift predictions; cause-effect; rate vs yield.
Practice: Temperature effects; yield explanations; scenarios.
⚠️ Avoid: “Shifts right” without reasoning.
Hour 4: Organic Chemistry & Analysis (Higher Level)
Recall + applications.
Organic Chemistry
- Crude oil/distillation
- Alkanes vs alkenes
- Polymerisation
- Ethanol (fermentation/hydration)
Chemical Analysis
- Gas tests (O₂, H₂, CO₂, Cl₂)
- Flame tests
- Ion tests (halides, sulfates)
- Chromatography
Practice: Test IDs; renewability; Rf values.
🧠 Memory: Flame tests – Li (red), Na (yellow), K (lilac).
Hour 5: Atmosphere, Resources & Technique (Higher Tier)
Evaluation skills.
Atmosphere
- Early atmosphere
- Greenhouse gases
- Global warming
Resources
- Potable water
- LCA
- Corrosion/alloys
Final 40 Mins: Exam Mastery
- Command words: Describe/Explain/Evaluate
- Higher Tier 6-mark: Point → Explain → Link → Repeat
Power Revision Add-Ons (Free with £12/hr)
