How Fast, How Far,
and Which Way
Rates and energy knowledge mat for secondary schools (PDF)
What actually changes when a reaction speeds up — and why a catalyst gets you there sooner but never further. Collision theory and a rate graph read by its gradient; exothermic and endothermic profiles side by side with activation energy marked; chemical and fuel cells, with the Space Shuttle's fuel cell photographed; the three levers that shift an equilibrium and the one that does nothing; a worked bond-energy calculation. Eight terms to define, a model answer on temperature and rate, and the misconceptions that cost marks.

One purchase covers the school that buys it. Print it, copy it, hand it round your department. Not for passing to other schools or uploading anywhere.
One landscape A4 page on one topic, led by the figures and photographs rather than the headings. It carries collision theory and the rate graph, reaction profiles with activation energy, chemical and fuel cells, the equilibrium levers and a worked bond-energy calculation — then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style answer and the misconceptions that cost marks.
Every photograph on the sheet is a real archival or scientific image, not an illustration and not AI-generated; every diagram is drawn in code for the sheet. Each image was checked against its own licence template rather than a label, and the running foot names every creator, states that the images have been cropped and adjusted for print, and links the licence — so the sheet can be photocopied for a class and stay compliant. Every claim is sourced to the DfE subject content, and nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification.
Sold by subject: all four chemistry sheets for one price. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.
- Written to The DfE GCSE subject content for chemistry (DFE-00352-2014). Every photograph is a sourced archival or scientific image, licensed for reuse and credited on the sheet; every diagram is drawn in code for the sheet
- Intended for chemistry teachers — on the desk during the lesson, not a student revision guide
