A very simple diagram of the apparatus for simple distillation. It may be useful for teaching the principles of how to draw diagrams in chemistry.

Label the diagram.

Cut & stick away.

A diagram to be labelled.

This is a simple worksheet about writing word equations for neutralisation reactions. It covers 2 pages. There are plenty of examples, which get harder as you go on. There is an accompanying powerpoint, as an additional download… NB I am well aware that exam boards, RSC and text books regard acid plus metal to be a redox reaction, which of course it is. However, in such a reaction, the pH increases to neutral and the acid has gone, so I think it can properly be regarded as neutralization of an acid. And since this worksheet is really about naming salts, I had to include it.

A simple worksheet which reinforces organic functional groups. Could be printed or presented on screen as a starter.

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.

A very little crossword puzzle about making salts

Readily photocopiable worksheet on displacement reactions and the reactivity series.

A very small crossword, with answer key

Make things move.

A presentation to augment my displacement reactions and the reactivity series worksheet, with answers to problems.

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

Animate your lessons. Simple, hopefully clear animation of catalytic hydrogenation of ethene.

Some synoptic questions in the form of an interactive web-based crossword. Unzip the file and double click on the index (Works with edge, chrome and firefox, but not safari)

In colour. Helps students interpret proton NMR spectra

NMR examples explained: ethyl ethanoate

Simple animated cartoon, with narration.

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.
