I made a tiny video to illustrate this.

i made a tiny cartoon trying to explain how the halogen carrier works in friedel crafts (PS: you can use the youtube version for free)

I made an intertactive widget thingy with multiple choice questions about KS 4 chemistry. Point at the correct answer and click. Instant feedback provided. 20 fun questions. 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.

I have made a cartoon of dot cross type diagrams for all of the structures on the AQA specification. Simple double click on the covalent bonding.html file and it runs in your browser. Its nice and colourful, big and bold (zoom in with your browser to make it as big as possible). Could use around the whiteboard, or for independent study at a computer. It’s not intended as a whole lesson, but as a useful resource that can be revisited a number of times with a class to reinforce what they need to know for the exam. Could be starter or plenary or interlude. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

One of my wacky videos illustrating the difference in reactivity of benzene vs phenol in terms of polarising power.

A fun video about this. Because I wanted to.

Distinguish between element or compound from the formula.

I made this set of exam questions around glycerol. It has six questions over two sides.

Part of my series of A level style questions. Two pages with six questions.

Exam boards often take unknown substances and ask students to apply their understanding of chemistry to them. To provide practice answering this type of question, I am developing a series of worksheets with this type of question. The series is called Practicexamquest. Molnupiravir has recently been approved as an anti COVID drug, so is of topical interest. Comprises 7 questions over 2 sides.

I made a clunky cartoon about cracking alkanes with a cheery soundtrack. The idea is for students to write and record the narration… something different to just ‘writing up’ the experiment.

For reasons only known to myself, I sat down with the spec & made this. With solution.

resistance is futile

For my amusement

I dont’t know why.

i made a tiny video

Link didn’t work so I have re- uploaded it

just because.

A plant dye is used in a question about reactions of organic functional groups. It is pertinent to the study of phenols. (NB I had previously ommited the reaction of phenol rings with bromine, now tried to include this)

An exam style question on DDT. With my answers.
