Effect of osmosis on plant cells

I have made a little interactive cartoon thingy about this concept. Double click on “osmosis.html” and it will open in your browser. Use the browser zoom controls to make it huge. May be useful as plenary around the whiteboard, in an interlude, etc etc. It can be previewed on my web site. 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.

Reaction mechanisms are beautiful dances, with the dancing atoms throwing out two (heterolytic ) or one (homolytic) arms out to their partner. Thus, I added a little beat to this reaction mechanism.

I made a tiny presentation for teaching ester nomenclature. Students are challenged with a few structures and challenged to name them. The following slide gives the answer. Available in powerpoint and keynote.

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.
