Second in a series. This worksheet covers different functional groups. Information on the front, 6 questions on the back. In black and white for ease of photocopying. With answers.

A very simple presentation listing major functional groups. Could be printed out and used as a display.

Double click on the .html file, et voila, it opens in your browser. Helps identify all the marking points in the mechanistic questions in an interactive way. 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.

A simple worksheet, with chlorine as an illustrative example, followed by a question on xenon.

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.

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.

A simple, very much introductory worksheet on this topic. Information on the front, a few questions on the back.

I have improved my video of this reaction mechanism.

Useful as a starter round the board. Drag the models next to the correct name. If it is correct it will stick, if not it won't. This tests understanding of functional groups and different types of molecular model. Double click on the FuncDragAndDrop.html file, and you're there

Some synoptic questions in the form of an interactive web-based crossword. Unzip the file and double click on the index (Works with edge, chrome and firefox, but not safari)

In colour. Helps students interpret proton NMR spectra

Simple animated cartoon, with narration.

Double click on the html file. Use browser controls to zoom in or out. Useful for discussion around the whiteboard.

Reinforces understanding of this important mechanism. Sixth formers LOVE to cut & stick.

This is a simple powerpoint giving names and formulae of ions. Knowledge of these can provide a key to understanding chemistry at GCSE and A level. Print these off, laminate them, and display in a prominent position in a lab. (NB I have corrected the ammonium ion error)

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

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.

Plus the odd cookie.

This is a variation of my ‘drag and drop functional group’ activity. In this case you drag the structural formula to the correct name of the functional group. If it is correct it will stick, otherwise it won’t. Could be used around the whiteboard as a quick AFL. This is a simple html5 document- simply double click on the html file and it will load in your web browser. (nb because the table is long, you may have to zoom out in your web browser to complete.) ** Please note:** in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my interactive resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

I made a wacky interactive widget thingy to illustrate the gas laws. Change the property with the slider and it draws the graph. Just for fun really. A preview may be seen on my web site.
