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.

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. I removed the spurious reaction of copper metal with dilute acids (woops, senile moment)

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.

One of the most useful skills in answering many GCSE chemistry questions is to work out what type of reaction is involved in the question. This helps you work out what the products may be, but also answer other questions about the reaction. Students often find this very difficult, mainly due to a lack of practice and experience. This simple information sheet with questions at the back is in black and white so can be readily photocopied.

A little bit of ‘learning without working’ activity for the end of term, in black and white for easy cheap photocopying. Suitable for all abilities, but earlier years may need to look some clues up. The answers are included.

simple labelling exercise

Word searches help concentrate on scientific literacy and aid concentration. they are good summary activities and for revision. I have tried to make this attractive and efficacious in that it uses only one side of A4. A solution is provided.

A simple wordsearch on a single page. To save you time.

A very small crossword, with answer key

As seen on TV

I took the AQA Physics keywords document and used those words to make a word search for each topic. Eight word searches in total.

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.

I left it up to the students to add the arrows.
