interactive science quiz: GCSE biology: cells

I made an interactive quiz widget thingumy to test scientific vocabulary on this topic. Just click on the correct answer, feedback is immediate. Fits the AQA specification. Just for fun. (now questions are in the correct order!) Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer. After unzipping, they comprise a folder containing the main .html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the .html file and the resource will work. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.

The language of measurement

I used AQA’s list of measurement terms (which is included) to make a wordsearch, bingo game, and match the definition sheet. NB: I have now added the definitions as a presentation, in both powerpoint and keynote formats. I made it in keynote and exported to powerpoint, so the keynote version is better.

I stole this wheel from wikipedia (NB the author grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions), so I put it onto a display that may be useful to someone. I made the table myself.

I have made a deliberately clunky representation of this, using gel-pen type colours. Just the sort of thing to amuse some sixth formers. Relish its unprofessionalness. I do. UPDATE: link added to movie on YouTube of hydrolysis reaction. Double click on the html file, and it will open in your browser.
