I taught chemistry for 25 years. I now provide tuition online. I just like nicely produced, imaginative resources.
All resources
Exam practice: cyclohexane
My usual series of A level chemistry practice exam questions. Take it or leave it.
alkenes versus arenes
I made a simple three slide presentation concerning addition reaction of alkenes compared with the substitution reaction of arenes. This is an important exam question topic and is poorly understood by students. I enclose both keynote and powerpoint versions.
Benzene versus ethene : a question of polarisation power.
I made one of my cludgy videos to illustrate this important exam topic.
Electronic configuration of elements
A minimalist presentation which has dot diagrams up to potassium.
stare in amazement
I made a pack of ten mazes with solutions to keep people quiet as the end of term approaches. Good for developing skills of concentration.
Hofmann voltameter
I made a crazy video about hydrolysing water with a hofmann voltameter
Note: the youtube version is free. I only put a price on the download because you have to do that for the resource to appear on TES pages.
SI units wordsearch
Made for my own satisfaction
I have now added a set of bingo cards as an alternative
Bundle
NMR examples explained
Colourful, comprehensible, clear examples to illustrate the interpretation of proton NMR spectra. Could be used as a display, or on the whiteboard, or as a handout.
Bundle
Anatomy Interactive
Simple Drag & Drop exercises for the eye, heart , ear, digestive system and skeleton. Whole body also thrown in. Use year in, year out with all sorts of classes. Nice around the whiteboard as AFL, or for students individually at a computer. All work in your browser, easily zoomed in or out. Print out the result as a revision aid.
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.
Bundle
Biology word searches
Word searches help concentrate on scientific literacy and aid concentration. they are good summary activities and for revision. I have tried to make these attractive and efficacious in that they use only one side of A4. A solution is provided for each.
Bundle
Chemical reactions
Resources for lessons on neutralization and making salts, and displacement. Powerpoint presentations and worksheets
Bundle
Cut & Stick reaction mechanisms
Sixth formers love cut & stick exercises. They are valuable because they familiarise the student with the mechanism, they promote discussion when done in groups, and are different to taking notes and practical work.
Bundle
Interactive electronic configuration
Drag and drop resources to reinforce electronic configuration in atoms and how this underpins the layout of the periodic table.
