About us

Built by chemistry teachers who were tired of starting from scratch

Chemistry Toolkit exists because preparing chemistry lessons still means rebuilding, from scratch, worksheets that thousands of other teachers have already made.

Our story

It started as one teacher’s own folder

Chemistry Toolkit is built around the resources one chemistry teacher wrote for her own classes - worksheets, booklets, exam-style papers and the answer packs to go with them, edited every time a lesson showed what wasn’t working.

Most of that lives on teachers’ hard drives, in attachments named “moles worksheet FINAL v3 (use this one)”, and never gets past the department it was written in. The point of the library is to stop everyone else starting from a blank page on the same topic.

The rule from those years still stands: nothing goes in without worked answers, and if it wouldn’t survive being used by a real class on a wet Thursday afternoon, it doesn’t go in at all.

It’s a small operation, and that’s deliberate - it means the person answering your email is usually the person who wrote the resource you’re asking about.

What we believe

The rules that decide what goes in the library

  • Teacher-written, always

    Every resource is written and checked by someone who has taught the specification it covers. Nothing is scraped, crowd-uploaded or generated and left unread.

  • Answers are half the resource

    A worksheet without worked solutions is homework for the teacher. Everything in the library ships with answers that show the method, not just the result.

  • Evidence-informed, not fashionable

    Retrieval practice, spaced review and misconception-first teaching are built into the resource types themselves - because the evidence for them is boring and overwhelming.

  • Fair prices, no lock-in

    A single subscription a teacher can afford personally, cancellable in one click. If the library stops earning its place in your week, leaving should be easy.

How it’s made

What a resource goes through before you see it

  • Written for a real class

    Every resource starts as something a chemistry teacher needed for a lesson that week - not as a gap on a content plan.

  • Answers written alongside

    Nothing goes in without worked solutions. The answer pack is written with the questions, not bolted on afterwards.

  • Checked against the specification

    Chemistry, mark schemes and command words are checked by someone who teaches the specification the resource covers.

  • Mapped so you can find it

    Topic, qualification and resource type are tagged on the way in, so the library stays searchable in the minutes you actually have.
