A simple worksheet.

This is a very simple worksheet. Link the name of the polymer to its monomer. Then draw the repeating unit. A drag and drop version may follow. Watch this space.

This is a simple powerpoint presentation outlining how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. It has plenty of examples and problems. It is allied to my worksheet of the same name, with the same problems for students to try. The answers are at the end of the presentation, for students to mark their own work.

A simple worksheet in black and white for ready photocopying. Two sides, with a summary on the front and some questions on the back.

I have made a simulation of the marble chips and acid experiment at four different concentrations of acid. Just double click on the “gas syringe.html” file and it will open in your web browser. You could use browser zoom controls to make it huge if you wish. Maybe take measurements of volume of gas evolved against time or just use to introduce the experiment or revise. ( the price for this could save your department many times in broken gas syringes.) Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my 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.

A cut and stick exercise to help reinforce this very important concept. Students cut out the pieces and arrange the pieces to give the correct mechanism. Prepares students for those five mark questions where they often lose marks. Other mechanisms to come plus drag and drop versions, so watch this space…

A simple worksheet. Explanation on page one, standard electrode potentials on page 2, and a few questions on page 3.

Match the hazard warning sign to its description. If correct it sticks. Open the html file by double clicking, et voila. A preview of this activity can be seen on my web site.

I have made a simulation of this experiment at four different temperatures. Double click on the “disappearing cross copy.html” file and there it is in your web browser. Students time the cross disappearing, after someone presses the button and shouts go. Saves a nasty experiment with hot solutions and sulfur dioxide. Use over and over again. You can make it huge by using the browser zoom controls. A preview is available on my web site.

A very simple worksheet to aid the distinction of addition polymers from condensation polymers. Explanation on page 1, questions on page 2.

I made a very simple information sheet/poster. PDF so can be printed at any size.

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.

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 a tiny video to illustrate this.

A minute video giving defintions of nucleophile and electrophile. Because I could.

I made a crazy cartoon illustrating the calculation of the enthalpy change from bond enthalpies for the reaction between chlorine and hydrogen. Just for fun really. Note: the youtube version is free.

I made a tiny worksheet on calculating % composition

Double click on pretty poly(mers).html, and the activity will open in you browser. Simply drag the structure of each monomer to the box next to the name of the polymer. Good AFL around the whiteboard. A paper version is also available. Suitable for GCSE and A level students.
