I have tried to produce a clear example of an acid/base titration for use on the board or as a handout. I used colour to make it as clear as possible.

A straightforward worksheet on the oxidation of alcohols with information on the front, questions, then answers. In black & white for ready photocopying.

Mineral acids

I have made a very simple information sheet about forming mineral acids, for display or handout. Very few students are aware of this bit of basic chemistry, so I think it is worthwhile.

An alternative to my cut and stick exercise. Double click on the .html file, and it will open in your browser. You can zoom it so it’s huge using the browser zoom controls. Drag the structures to the correct places, then get a reward. 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 frome this hierarchy, the resource will not work.

Double click on the .html file and it will open in your browser. Make it massive using the browser zoom controls if you so desire. Drag the symbols to the correct places. Gives a different flavour to learning mechanisms. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

Matching the structures.

A simple cut & match activity which is really just practice at naming and recognising structures and their representations. I made this because I enjoy doing this sort of thing!

Identify functional groups in coloured dyes

(0)
This sheet is intended to provide practice in identifying and naming functional groups in organic substances. This is an important skill that repeatedly comes up in exam papers. As a theme, natural dyestuffs found in plants are used. There are five examples over two pages.

The pH scale

I made a very simple ‘fill in the gaps’ worksheet. It may be useful because it focuses on the adjectival and noun words in this topic.

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.”
