I taught chemistry for 25 years. I now provide tuition online. I just like nicely produced, imaginative resources.
All resources
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.
Types of chemical reaction.
I made a very simple information sheet/poster. PDF so can be printed at any size.
Microscope: label it
I made a very simple labelling activity for KS3 students.
(I have also produced interactive, drag & drop versions. See my 'Anatomy interactive" bundle.
Chemical Formulae
A simple, photocopiable worksheet (black and white!) that gives practice at interpreting simple chemical formulae. The examples get harder as you proceed. It is comprised of two pages of examples. It is suitable for KS3 and KS4 students. It could be used in class or for homework.
Chemical Analysis wordsearch
A simple wordsearch on 1 side of A4. It is quite a challenge! For GCSE chemists.
( I have now removed an error which had two letters in one box and one box with a space. I had to make it bigger and spread the puzzle onto two sides, one side with clues and one with the puzzle grid. Apologies to those who bought the defective version- contact me for a replacement)
Free radical substitution cut&stick
An introductory sheet of answers, followed by cut and stick exercise for this challenging mechanism. Cut and stick promotes familiarity with the mechanism, promotes discussion when done in groups, and is enjoyed immensely by sixth formers.
Reproduction word search
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.
Simply Sudoku
This is a simple book of simple Sudoku puzzles.
There are ten puzzles in total. The first five use the characters 1 to 9.
The second five use the characters 1 to 9 and A to G.
Solutions are provided.
Bundle
Interactive electronic configuration
Drag and drop resources to reinforce electronic configuration in atoms and how this underpins the layout of the periodic table.
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 from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.
Solid, liquid or gas?
Students work out the state different substances are in at room temperature, given their melting point and boiling point.
