About The Atmosphere and Environmental Chemistry
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources follow the story of the air around us. Several look at how Earth's early atmosphere formed and changed, such as the mind map Earth's atmosphere and the notes on the evolution of the atmosphere. Others cover the composition of air: the mind map Atmosphere: Air lists nitrogen, oxygen, noble gases and carbon dioxide, then moves on to pollutants such as carbon monoxide from incomplete combustion.
Where to start
Begin with a overview map, then check what stuck.
- Open the mind map Atmosphere: Air for the gases and pollutants.
- Move to the mind map C9 - Atmosphere - Combustion, which separates complete and incomplete combustion and their products.
- Try the C1 Quiz, which asks you to label a pie chart of the gases in air and recall what early scientists thought the atmosphere was made of.
- Run through the flashcard deck C1-3 OCR for quick recall.
Going further
The Ozone Story brings in electronegativity, bond polarity and dipoles. Its mind map and the OCR B A Level Chemistry quiz work well together, because the map sets out the ideas and the quiz asks you to fill in the missing terms. The mind map Environmental Chemistry widens the view to rocks, weathering and soil, and the quiz Science 9 - Unit 3: Environmental Chemistry covers the carbon cycle with fill-in-the-blank questions.
Using maps and quizzes together
Read a map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same idea. Note the questions you miss and go back to the matching map branch or flashcard deck. Teachers can pick a map to introduce a lesson and a quiz to close it.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the strand Earth, Environment and Applied Chemistry within Chemistry. Resources mention GCSE Chemistry, AQA GCSE Chemistry, A-level Chemistry and IB, so choose by the course you follow. Pick one resource today and see how far a short session takes you.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
The mind map Atmosphere: Air is a gentle start. It sets out the gases in air and the main pollutants, including carbon monoxide from incomplete combustion. After that, try the C1 Quiz to see which parts of the atmosphere you remember and which need another look.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the early atmosphere, the composition of air, combustion, greenhouse gases and climate change, air quality, ozone, and wider environmental topics such as rocks and soil. There are over 300 mind maps, so you can usually find one that matches the topic you are revising.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it helps to check them against your own course materials.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Listed resources mention GCSE Chemistry, GCSE Science, AQA GCSE Chemistry, A-level Chemistry and IB. Most are aimed at secondary students. Look at the title and excerpt to see whether a resource matches your exam board, such as the OCR-labelled decks and quizzes.
Can I make my own versions?
Yes. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. You could turn the combustion map into a flashcard deck, or write a short quiz on the ozone story.
What if I can't find my exact topic?
Try a nearby title. Topics overlap, so air quality, the changing atmosphere and chemistry of the atmosphere resources often cover similar ground. Notes such as Chemistry of the Atmosphere and the slide sets can fill gaps that a quiz or map leaves.
