Electronic configuration and the periodic table drag & drop.

Simply drag the configurations to the correct box, if it is correct it will stick and you will receive praise, if not it will invite you to try again. Open in a flash-enabled browser or windows media player, and maximise the window. I am working on a version for html5. Useful for reinforcing the basis of the periodic table.

Useful as a starter round the board. Drag the models next to the correct name. If it is correct it will stick, if not it won't. This tests understanding of functional groups and different types of molecular model. Double click on the FuncDragAndDrop.html file, and you're there

I have tried to illustrate the concept of separation of water molecules rather than breaking covalent bonds when water is heated with a quick and dirty animation. Click on the water boiling.html file and it will run in your browser.
Bunsen burner interactive

Bunsen burner interactive

For those year six induction days or the like, this is a drag & drop exercise to label the bunsen burner. Double click on the html file and there it is! Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop 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.
